    skillful play to me means knowing your class and role in a party. As of now this game does not require you to know how to play your class to get to 50, its pathetic. The bat reg system sucks but people should still know how to use it, and if its replaced(cross your fingers) they should now how to use that. Skillful play shouldn't be something reserved for nm's and dungeons, and shouldn't be confused with a challenge, although a challenge does promote skillful play.

    SP bonuses are a good incentive for skillful play to keep players at there best even when the challenge may not be life threatening.

    yes but once again

    killing faster doesnt equal skill

    its just killing faster

    being higher level, having better gear etc etc, all those equate to the same formula of killing faster, doesnt mean you should get rewarded for it moreso
    the fact you are getting sp faster for killing faster is your reward

    i never said an sp bonus for killing faster
    sp bonus should be giving for proper skillchains which are about timing and coordination

    also if you recall from before i said they should remove the 10lvl sp cap so you can get max sp from mobs 20-30 lvls above your rank which would take much LONGER to kill but give more sp. These are the mobs that take skill to kill.

    Careful now, with that line of reasoning, you might begin to realize why we want level restrictions on the dungeons
