I would love to have Skill Ups back, I always felt a sense of accomplishment getting some of those things to cap. Sure it was a grind and sometimes a long one at that (at least back in 75, not so bad anymore), but it still felt good (at least for me) when I saw everything in blue text.

Wouldn't an unnecessary time sink be just ones opinion? I mean the entire game right now is an unnecessary time sink yet we're still playing it.
