Overall I think the first option is favorable. When overall skillgain can be kept low enough, it wont become a problem. It should match IRL inflation, although that might require some more nerfs.

This certainly seems to be where MA and EU is heading. I can say just getting to Combat Sense is a -damn struggle-.

One thing I just don't understand though is the faps. It's simply impossible to (naturally) get fap skill above level 80 now unless someone were to full time fap others... for years... but who would ever do that? Maybe new skills will eventually come into play...

I really don't see it as aproblem regards to items - even as it is now.. less than 50? (100?) people can use all the weapons available (hl20/XT)... and it takes 3-5 years playign 6 hrs/day to get to level 100 in anything... NOt surprising why people chip when a years salary can get you to the same level that would take 5 years of extreme gameplay...that's a highly justificable tradeoff... and looking at the most recent modfap sale - the same amount of funds invested into paramedic skill... doesn't get you to doctor... (which is a myth like commando and force merge, right? )

hmmm....
0 to Coolness in six months!

And as for the budget involved, to "play"...
I am surely not rich, have no family yet, live in a high priced city and have deposited a bit but not several 1000s $.
I got serendipity in 6 months, minor part chipped.
But still , I am almost 65k in skills overall.
Getting to medium level is not that difficult, does not take a 24/7 grind but a bit of dedication.
And I think it is absolutely correct that non depositers take the long walk, and I think the balance between gaining level versus long term involment is fine.
