I think it has already been seen how
MA respond to Skills.
If too many people get too highly skilled they alter the "skill progression" rate to slow down the rate of advancement, drastically.
IIRC:
A certain amount of "effort" used to get an avi to 10k.
Now the same effort will only get them to 8k, not a big gap between 8k and 10k,
but, getting from 8k to 10k now requires the same amount of effort again.
In effect, getting to 10k is now twice as hard as it used to be.
I think it unlikely that
ma will "de-value" skills. If you have a set amount of points,
Ma won't alter that, but what they will do is steepen the slope, to make further progress harder.
Gain skills as fast as you can. In the future, it will be harder, as
MA try and keep the % number of members at each level as constant as they can.
