That would be one of the dumbest things they could do. If you look at game populations when the Player Killer type has free reign it is the first sign of a game that will fail and fail hard. That does not mean that no one will play it but you drive away all of the other 3 player types. Achiever, Explorer and Social players, for as much as people hate "care bears" on these forums it is the mass amounts of "care bears" that allow for games to survive.

I hate how over 1/2 of the game is unplayable until you hit 20Millions+ skill points to even stand a chance against the players that have been here for years. The skill point curve is another aspect of this game that will very shortly need to be looked at.

The 2M+ skill points of learning should be given right off the bat to new players. That is over a month of time wasted learning learning skills rather than actually playing the game. Another system that will need to be looked at is a way to actively gain skills. Especially since there is now a way to loose skill other than death, well for a few specialized skills anyway.

So lets say all new characters start out with 2M of learning skills all of them at rank 4 both basic and advanced.

2-3M should have a 200-300% training bonus.
3-5M should have a 150-250% training bonus.
5-9M should have a 75%-150% training bonus.
9-17M should have a 25%-75% training bonus.
17-33M should have a 0-25% training bonus.

Or if not learning skills granted.

0-1M 500% bonus
1-2M 400% bonus
2-4M 300% bonus
4-8M 200% bonus
8-16M 100% bonus
16-32M 50% bonus
