I think it's kind of obvious that the newer players or players who have to achieve GM skills want a faster skill rate than the players who already have those GM skills.
The fact of the matter is that we need to find a mutual agreement. I believe the GM's have said ingame that they have adjusted the combat skills to take one day of macroing to GM. I have to assume this is a fair number, because everyone was happy to hear it. Also, by contradiction, there is not one thread saying that the skillgain is too fast since the most recent update. Since this is our target skillrate (1 Combat/day), the players should actually be able to GM one combat skill per day. I can say quite confidently from actual experience macroing 24/7 (with the exception of reboots etc), that the skill gain is NOT one gm combat per 24 hour period. Far from it. I've posted many times my actual gains from sparring/healing all night.
What is left to say?
Can we just get what is promised to us without the vets jumping down our throats? You guys got your imported character, so really who is whining? Is it really propostorous to be upset that after being told that we should GM these skills "quickly" or "in one night", to come to your computer after 12 hours of it sitting there 'playing the game for you', you find you are only a FRACTION of the way there? The answer is no. Other acceptable answers are, 'hell no', '**** no' and '*urinates violently!?*' would have been accepted as well.
Please adjust the skill rate to be what it is supposed to be, then let us re-evaluate it.
