Once again, grats on your 'impressive gain'. However, once you get above 80 the skills don't go up as nicely. This is the issue I'm trying to address here. I've been macroing 24/7 Since monday, and can say that the melee combat gain rate is fine. However, healing is killing me. I let my char macro all night, went out to breakfast, came back and only gained .9 healing (to 84.2). Are you seeeeeeerrrrrz???

Also, with magery... Yes you are seeing good gains now. But dude, you have <60 magery. Obviously it's going to go up fast. When you get it up higher, not only are going to be spending a whole shitload more time macroing, you're also going to have to spend a HUGE amount of money to afford the regs to macro it.

I understand the relationship between gain rates and absolute skill level.

This was more to the people who didnt start with 50 magery that were complaining about the difficult skill gain. I saw a full three points in probably 3 hours total worth of macroing. I couldnt see going from 30 to 50 taking more than two days of macroing, and Id guess a few more days to save up the money to do so (would be around 6kish worth of regs... 500 Nightshade is 2500 gold and is surely enough to get from 30-40, then another 3500 for 700 more NS to get to aroun 50).

With 50 magery I guarantee I wouldnt have any more trouble surviving an attack than a grandmaster.
