I think blacksmithing is unreasonably hard to GM... A lot of people already have the skill GM'd which doesn't make it very valuable in that sense, and the reward is only a smith's hammer.
I gained 6 points from 80.9 to 81.5 from 5k ingots making daggers... Thats approximately 1 point per 280 daggers. Assuming it gets harder and harder, I guess I'll have to make about 280*185(points left to GM)*2(since it gets a bit harder) = 103k daggers to GM, which is 309k ingots, which is more than 3 mill if I sell it. For 3 mill I can buy several exceptional adamantium and sapphire armors and a max bard and some pvp supplies. What's the meaning of GM'ing the skill if it's this hard and costs (well since I mine it doesn't cost me anything but time, but since I have the option of choosing between 309k ingots and 3 mill (because I can sell it) it does in some sense) this much?
The gain from GM'ing it seems EXTREMELY unproportional to the effort to GM it...
Suggestion: Make it easier, a lot easier.
