This kind of system was in FFXI. Your magic and weapon skills leveled up as you used them, your defensive skills leveled as you got hit, etc.

To a lesser extent and up until Cata, WoW had this system too. You get hit a lot, your defense skill goes up, which governed how often you received a special kind of crit called a "crushing blow". Weapon skill controlled hit and crit rates.
