About the skillgain. The pvp skills are not hard to train, especially since there is a mercenary camp to train them. If you chose resisting spells, magery and (healing or swordsmanship or tactics) you have about a good 2-3 days to gm all those skills which is needed to PVP here.

As for the crafting skills of course they will be a bit more difficult as you can make money off them. In light of some points being made HUNTING was made a lot more profitable so you can BUY those crafted items from skills such as (blacksmithy, alchemy, inscription). Another alternative would be to go hunt make money and SPEND the money on RESOURCES to macro that skill. Seriously you can hunt for 30 mins and make a good 30K-40K, so I don't see how raising skillgain on crafting skills.

I mean UO is a game we can't just give you everything because then what would be the point in playing if you had every skill gm'ed AND you could make 100K in 1 hour by hunting? People would eventually get bored of that and I think people need to know that you can EASILY hunt with the increase monster loots and gain A LOT of money to help you macro OR purchase whatever you want to buy.

So again I'll ask everyone why they don't log on? If you say it's because no one is online we'll if you log on and just leave your character AFK it would eventually make people log on and the amount of people online would increase.

Like I've always said: I'm always open to ideas that aren't out of this world and to just give some reasoning to your idea basically, this way we can discuss the pros and cons about it. For skillgain to be easier it would hurt the shard in the long run so it doesn't solve our problem.
