I just think that it is better to have a game plan before you run into the burning building. Talking to much about solutions do tend to put acting on ice, but fact is, I do not think we know what's right. We have an idea of what we think is wrong, but that doesn't really solve anything.

Best solution I can sum up, while knowing what taran feels about skill gains, is to hire more staff and make things a little easier. What that entails, I have no clue, but it cannot be to easy either. Maybe make more newbie friendly guides, that PvE/M school and some ready to use macros that just glares you in the face as soon as you long in.

It's just hard for me to understand cause when I made my char, skill gain was easy enough, or at least fair. When people now come and say that it's too hard, after being made easier, I start to wonder if it really is too hard, or if people are just trying to take the whole hand.

The problem is that the problem has become pretty urgent... So whatever you do, do it fast.
And yes, it might have been easy for you, but you have played this game for 10+ years and are good at it. Not everyone can be compared to you.
Besides, the changes don't even have to be permanent, just until the player base is back up. Because with a good player base and active staff, new players will actually have a reason to put the needed time and effort into getting started here. And since the changes are non permanent, you can practically play around and try out what works... We've already come to the conclusion that doing nothing doesn't work, don't you agree?
