No, no. This was not a solution to characters getting too big and having nothing to teach them. Not at all. We released this to make skill development rewarding and challenging. While previously anyone could master almost any skill and then move onto the next to rape it's XP value and become a grand master of everything, it should be extremely challenging to do that now. Surely, someone could do so with enough dedication, but nobody can lazily swim through their skills and yawn at everything they need to do with them.
This isn't about character class advancement, but skill advancement and protection of the value of skills. How many of you are known for being the best at something?

I agree with the concept of making things more difficult. Though I like it the way it is now it is unrealistic we should, as youngins, get to be in the same hunting ground as the oldtimers and hold our own within weeks. I am not one to make threats, nor am I going to start now. I will not be logging in any character that I care about til I see the effects for myself. Please, let's not continue with threats and demands. Let's work together to see if this solution is viable or if ,perhaps, we can find a better solution. If you think outside your knee-jerk anger you will know that Exxy and staff have always tried to be fair in everything and make the players happy. Thank you for your time in reading.
I agree. And if the only happy solution is to rip the whole thing back out and go for a different solution, then I'll do that. This is the best we have that tackles all the problems and with a few tweaks, it should be very managable from your end. I am, of course, open to and hopefully will hear some ideas rather than only criticisms.
