I'm completely bullshitting with the "I think" portion though.
Agreed. Proponents of FFXI-style "Skillups" must enjoy paying SE to be miserable.

Here's the big problem with implementing skillups as a check on power-leveling - once you've hit 50, there's nothing stopping you from wailing on enemies for another couple of hours to level said skills - in fact, now it's easier and more afk-able than ever, thanks to your increased survivability!

Regardless of how you made it to 50, your skills will be uncapped, and it's just another x number of hours auto-attacking slightly harder mobs in a party. This does nothing to make a player better at their class and job. Why would anyone want to waste their time doing this?
