What ever happened to earning your skills and feeling proud that you worked for them?

Whats the point (crafting) of GMing a skill if the established economy of the Vets will be able to sell there crafted items for less, and sooner? There is no pride in GMing a craft when the economy is already established.

As far as magery goes, you could refer to some of my previous posts, where I feel that magery is so essential, that everone WILL GM it eventually, and making it costly and hard to level up will only delay the inevitable and cost un-needed money. Who is to benefit from the high cost? NPC vendors?

I say lets drop this skill gain stuff, let the staff do more important things. If there are still people complaining down the road it can be looked over once again. Hopefully only if a third of the shard or more thinks it needs to be changed though... not a handful of people who don't feel like working for anything.

Okay, lets say it is dropped, and I drop 100k (just throwing out a number for the sake of argument) on reags and all the supplies required to macro my magery, and a month down the road they DO decide to change it. Where am I then? 100k in the negative, because I already wasted a weeks workth of macroing and 100k on GMing the skill. Now I have to make that up if I want to put it towards something like a house or whatever. Nows the time to act for the full benefit, for the shards longevity, it should be done when its as fresh as possible. You don't stitch up a wound after its already closed itself naturally. I am not even going to go into defending myself as someone looking for handouts and freebies, I have stated my situation many a time.
