Anyone ever notice that they do not learn that fast if they spam a bunch of spells of the same type? Maybe it is just me but I think the immortals have some top secret code that makes it harder to learn when spamming. Now here is the question......are we wrong for spamming and watching TV while we learn?
Or is there a point to actually sitting behind the computer for 100 hours cast spells? If there is a point to this, please tell me. I mean I like to roleplay, but where does roleplaying get an invoker that has no spells? I would rather be roleplaying than spamming and practicing spells and skills, but a rager warrior isn't shit unless he spends some time mastering skills. I just do not see the point of making it so difficult to master everything. Maybe the immortals do not want us to get better at skills as we learn rather than killing 100 kittens, but if we want a decent character that doesn't get his ass handed to him by some loser like Crewso, then we need to master our shit. Reason: no matter how hard you make it to master your shit, there will always be those idiots out there that will master it, even if he takes 400 hrs. Then they will go around and kick everyone elses ass and force them to get their skills up or be killed a lot. Now we got a bunch of people that send 90% of their character's life mastering shit instead of going out and roleplaying, exploring, and other stuff.......
