Well, I had an XUO account, so I started out with a little more skills than the new guys, but I have not found the skill gains to be that hard. Sparring gave us tactics, parrying, anatomy, swords and fencing. All of those are pretty fast, with the exception of tactics.
Healing isn't the fastest, but cheap, so a new person can train that fairly easy.
We have also macroed alch (85) and inscription (96) for a few days now, and even if it is slow, I don't think that it is unreasonable. Especially if you are more than one person doing it.
Only problem I see as a new guy is magery, that might be hard to get. The money for it is not the easiest thing to do, but if you start with 50 magery and get your combats up, I think that trips to the newbie dungeon would be usefull enough to get your skill up so that you can hunt in other places.
