To "Brian!" - that isn't exactly true. Other games that have had no levels and are skill based, such as UO and the first Asheron's Call still divided the player base up just as much. It's not a traditional level system, but you can still find your power and even give yourself a generic "level" if you want, because people with higher skills will be fighting in higher areas that people with low skills can not think of fighting in. Instead of not having the level to fight in areas, you won't have the skill to fight in them, it's the same as having a level even tho it doesn't show up. You are limited by your skill instead of your level, so it's basically the same thing, only often you get to make your own character class by mixing and matching skills.
