Skill training stuff

[Davairus]

I'm looking for some ideas and input into what makes a training scheme more "fun". This is what you have to work with.

1) Skill points should reflect time spent AND risk taken.
2) You should not be getting fully mastered at like level 10 somehow.
3) A non-bot could benefit from new additions (think "tasks for gold" style stuff)

So yeah.. We'll see if we can come up with anything better than what we have.

Also many active skills and spells (bash/trip/disarm/hellstream/etc) pretty much mean a shit ton of tiresome spamming, especially frustrating if you make a spellcaster - so we should probably do something unique for things that require "active spam" (i.e. have to type the skill repeatedly ad nauseum).

Here are some examples of shit I am thinking we *could* eliminate the spam-skill-name from, leaving us the question of what to do with the rest of them. note that these are just a small part of a bigger depressing picture

-> fighting in monk stances improves them (instead of spamming stances)
-> prac hide/camo by staying hidden (turns into a fast healing like skill, instead of spam)
-> prac sneak by moving around in sneak (instead of spamming it)

What fully mastered mine always stopped at 80 thats it. And make it so quests help skills go up faster.

With the current system of skill training, will my skills go up noticably faster if your fighting something obove your rank such as "You are no Match for". Also do skills go up faster when your fighting another player compared to a mob?
