Skill-up's

[Nazrakin]

you know, everything is a time sink. Turning on your computer, clicking a few buttons to turn on the game, walking, fighting, ... seriously that's the lamest excuse ever.

No, those are necessities. That said, there is nothing wrong with time sinks as long as they are rewarding and (preferably) optional. Skill levels are not at all rewarding, they are a pure time waster.

I'm not sure if you get the concept behind something being rewarding.

You got a pretty direct reward for leveling up your skills, you preformed much better at a task than without them.

Skills levels were in no way a reward. Its like getting your brand new electronic device home, only to realize it has no battery power. Charging up the battery isn't a reward, its just another thing in the way of actually enjoying the device. Likewise, with skill levels. They were just in the way of effectively using class skills that you had already earned from leveling up.

Skill ups would in no way improve this game. Its almost silly to think something like that would ever return considering the direction the game is headed.
