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.

How can you say this man? Just because 'like 20 people' posted on the forums, that does not mean that they don't think the skill gain was slow. Slaquer just gave you an example of one of his friends that won't play here, because he knew it would take a LONG time to get ready to "play". Count those people plus the large amount of people in IRC that have brought up the same point, and you have a large percentage of the shard wanting a reform.

Maybe I was just gettig odd gains. ~1300 casts got me from [SIZE="7"]54.8[/SIZE] magery to [SIZE="7"]61.5 [/SIZE](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 [SIZE="7"]60.1[/SIZE] to [SIZE="7"]64.3[/SIZE].

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.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!

Well thats good. I hope you dont.

Hope you don't listen to the playerbase? Yeah sounds like a great way to run a shard. I think he's doing a fine job, don't be a sore loser man.

And holy shit, can we atleast see what it will be like when it is implemented? You may find that it's not such a huge deal if it takes players a week and a half to GM magery, than if it took them two weeks.
