Everquest was big on non damage abilities, classes that did crafting, or allowed for fast travel, food creation, just interact with the world in a variety of ways. Runescape is mostly non combat classes. Ragnarok Online had the merchant class. Mabinogi has all kinds of non combat or pure support.

Utility classes kinda died in MMOs as the focus shifted from open world exploration and organic group play into instanced dungeon content and solo open world content. But a lot of older games still have them and they can be a lot of fun.

Ah okay, so we're not talking about DPS not being *important* but just not being the sole focus of things.

In which case, hell you can play Final Fantasy 14 *entirely* as crafters and even have some fun story content, if you want!
