Again Kano has a bunch of valid points, "macroing is teh lame!!!" +1. As I said before everyones done their time, some of us five times over :o , but that is irrelevant to the shard we play on now. IMO the economy is destined to suck at this rate, where Vets control or soon will control 90% of the market. I remember the OSI days where GMing a crafting skill was huge, just to see your name behind it, "Crafted By", there is less of a sensation for me when I see within 3 days people running around in items "Crafted By Vet #1, Vet #2, Vet #3, so on and so forth". Makes me think whats the point in GMing a craft, who is going to care, who is going to buy it unless I undercut Vets who have been making this stuff for the past 6 months at a low cost. MY 0.02 on crafting. Imbal.
Combat skills, IMO still need minor tweaks, I am not anxious to see my macros for magery and archery. Looks and sounds like it is not going to be pleasing, or affordable. I am happy with my fencing even though its taking longer than GM's/Devs stated (I am not lashing out, I appreciate the great GM's/Devs I have come in contact with, within my 4 day stint on a new shard) Its proven to take me about 3 days to FULLY GM my fencing. Thats not so bad, other people are on the same page, so I can't complain too hard. Really I do not foresee skills taken away from Vets, or cash. Its not reasonable, there will be a fight over it. I do think that a boost with the gains would be nice. Again, we are not asking for handouts, I have done my time and will do it again, BUT I would rather not try and swim upstream versus the Vets who hold the power in the market, thats IMbal. I forget who mentioned it (great idea, sorry I am bad with names!), but an OSI week long newbie status with new algo's would be ideal IMO. Not only for the noobs we have now, (at the start of the server where they can have 100 skill pts spread out between 3 skills), but the future of IN-X. That way a noob can pop on and know the noobie status gives him time to macro, and bring up some essential skills to get him started on his journey to being an efficient and worthwhile citizen of our community. IF they want to piss that free week of better gains away, be my guest, thats their choice.
Once again my 0.02
