All those skill gains your posting there seems quite fine.
Aye healing looks slow, but how many bandages did you use, i think thats the real question, not a question about how many houers you spend macroing.
There is a big difference if your char starts to heal when you get down to 60HP's or if your char heals when he get's down to 80HP's or at 99HP's (evrytime he gets hit)
I bet if you set up a macro to heal your char at once you get hurt, you will see a great increase in your healing skill. While your other skills won't increase as much.

Shadok, you are making the incorrect assumption that I don't know how to macro. I could probably write a pvp macro, that would be more effective than you actually playing. That said, if you think those rates are good, you are on crack cocaine. What if I told you I've only used about 750 bandages to get from 50 healing to 70 where I am now? You know you can wash the bandages? I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know, because you don't need to macro healing for long amounts of time - so it actually doesn't matter to you at all how the gain rates are, am I right?

If you think someone should put in around 250 hours of game time to GM a pivotal skill in the game, once again, crack cocaine.

A Point that bACoustic brought up is that this game is so old, that I'm sure everyone who is on IN-X has played before, and has GMed skills before, if not on UOX or wahtever old shard this was (Don't know or really care), or some other shard. We've all done the work at some point to GM everything, but only a certain few who were "in the right place at the right time" get a paved road to easy street. That should not have been the case IMO. But since it is, the newer players should be compensated in such a way that we can get to their level. I don't think giving players more starting gold is a solution at all, rather letting them get some important skills up quickly would be nice.

Notice I haven't said anything about the craft skills. They might as well be impossible to get, because by the time a new player gets to GM Craft, the world will be stocked full of all the GM Crafted items that the vets have already made. I don't think I'm even going to bother getting a craft skill up for that matter, but damn it, let us get some PvP skills going without macroing for a damn eternity!!! Macroing is teh lame!!! I wanna play the friggin game!
