I played the Tera beta where the battle system plays more like an action game then an RPG and with that kind of system yes Skills is what matters, then gear comes 2nd. XIV is built like XI and WOW where the better gear you have the better you are.
I thought i knew were you were going with this until i got to the end, the "better gear you have the better you are", really? Maybe the better off you are, but gear in ff14 is 2nd to skills. Id rather have people in my group wearing all af that know how to play then well geared screw ups.
