Even starting people at like, 85% in swords, tactics, parry, healing, anat, resist, magery, eval int, and gm in hiding and stealth.

That lets everyone get to playing as soon as they get here. Like other people were saying, lets stop this crap where players get here and macro hiding at brit bank for 3 days, ITS NOT FUN TO MACRO BASIC SKILLS.

Its not really fun to macro anything but at least with crafts you have an objective, the skills need to be hard to give them value, ofc that makes sense. But all the basic skills you need for hunting and pvp should be easy, if you start them at 85 then all the skills are usable to the point they dont need to macro, but will need to eventually finish them off using the same macros they would of had to, but just in less time and less idling around contributing nothing to server.

EDIT: I know the people from IN really love hard skills, but just let me ask one question, did you still love how hard those skills were when IN1 went down and you lost all that hard work? Its a game, its supposed to be fun. I can go to work when I want to work
