Of course you must listen to the playerbase. The first skill change I think was necessary because I dont think anyone thought that they were ok. But this was more like 20 people.

Except for magery, it was more than twice harder to train than the next hardest combat skill. Because of this we decided that we should increase the magerygain.

Maybe I was just gettig odd gains. ~1300 casts got me from 54.8 magery to 61.5 (6.7 points). I assume you were talking about healing being the next hardest combat skill. With about 1000 heal attempts, my healing only went from 60.1 to 64.3.

For magery, that is (1300/6.7)= ~19 actions per tenth of a point. For healing, that is (1000 / 3.2) = ~31 Actions per tenth. I already described how easily the money could be made to purchase the regs, and that the bandages were free if you spent 15 minutes running around a bit. But at this rate (even with the old skillgain), using my pretty basic macro (one cast / one heal ever ~20 secs), my magery would have surely passed my healing by the time they got to around 70.

I just really didn't think it was as hard as it was made out to be. Especially considering how desire and useful the skill is, it would make sense for it to be hard.

Crafting skills will stay hard, and I doubt we will change any other skill after this. But again, we must listen to our playerbase and see what they have to say.

Well thats good. I hope you dont.
