Always done this, and when others have tried it they've said it appears to have an effect as well. Used beseiged to hit 75 caps ages ago the same way, even hit 80 caps on staff out there on SMN with first level cap. Most recent time I specifically remember it happening was when I learned fell cleave in Ru'Aun Gardens doing page 3 (11 groundskeepers, 75-78) on WAR in my PJ's. And no.. this wasn't with any skillup food or anything affecting skill rate, just normal fighting--stripped off the perle and accuracy accessories and got skills going again.
Yea...that's what's called placebo effect or PoI conjecture. There has been 0 acknowledgment from official sources, nor ANY data, nor a blip about them from a credible source. I think your just full of shenanigans there.
