Try it before you knock it. I figured it was common sense public knowledge that decking the house has a negative impact on skill ups but apparently not. Next thing I'll hear is about how it's just placebo that crafting skill ups slow down to a crawl when within 1 level to cap because SE has never said otherwise. It's all about having room for your character to learn. When something is easy to do there is little room left for learning. This is why it is so agonizing to cap weapon skills. You're like 1 skill level away on GA and you go 1, 2, 3, 4 monsters with no skill ups and you start losing your mind because before when you were dozens of skills away from cap they came so much easier. BECAUSE YOU HAD A LOT TO LEARN STILL TO CAP... YOUR SKIIIIIIIIIIIILL. That's when you move to something harder and you finally cap your weap and move on.

How is this not common knowledge amongst the older playerbase by now?
