If it took 4 hours for some people to GM it before the update, it should take the same person 8 hours now since I made the skillgain twice as hard.
It's really easy to gain, just cast a firefield, run through it, heal, run back, heal again etc etc.

What for though? Why make it harder for people to gain PvP skills as all they are going to do is sit there and macro anyways. Just now for 2X longer. Which means twice as long until they are helping the economy and being an active player in the community. You are useless until you have GM some crafting skill or PvP skill. Why not aid it by making it a bit faster to help new players who are as of now, so disadvantaged compared to those who had an easier time when they themselves macro'd skills to GM. Why?

*edit* To be honest, in my own experience. The PvP skills such as Healing, Weapons, Magery, Tact. Take far too long. I Can't spend 8 hours a day macroing like a demon. I also cant always leave my computer on all day macroing. If you try and raise skills casually it could in practice take you weeks and weeks to be fully prepared to PvP with all the damn scrolls, pots, armors, and general amount of cash you need to support yourself. Why make it harder to become useful?

*re-edit* I am not asking to carebare the server as some people will think, but i have to PLAY like a carebear for a long time until i have a shot at taking on someone in PvP. Which is not fun, grinding, grinding, grinding...... Oh yeh .1% gain! only 15% until i can start grinding the next skill.
