I am glad to see that you received praise on how well you play your job. That is always welcome. However, did it boost your self esteem so much that you felt the need to post this for everyone to see? I don't see the point.
Sure having skill doesn't make you heal more, do more damage or attack any faster, but it does make you heal properly, attack at the right times and knowing how to fully encompass the most damage possible over the shortest time period, depending on need. So sure, while gear might give you those "omg 1337" numbers, skill gives you something the gilbuyers don't have, and it shows when they get a bad reputation for being a nub, while you get a good one for knowing what to do.
On another note... you can always ask for more things... for example... he got have 3 jobs and play them to the best of his ability... -.-;
