Will EU be over skilled som day?

The Lizard King · 05-13-2008, 09:51

Im wondering abut all the skills in EU.

There is alot of skills gained every day in EU and i havent heard of skills leaving EU exept for some Avas that just doesnt play again. But the thing is when a ava is taken out of the Universe the player almost always chip it out, so the skills stay in oure universe.

So in the long run doesnt this make EU over skilled? I have heard of Agility 39 Ubers, and the real Ubers have enourmous amounts of skills. And there seams to be plenty of skillers just skilling for chipping out and sell. Some of the EF users eaven wright about the skills getting to cheap.

All those easy to get skills and young Uber Avas make it hard for a natural skiller to keep up, and will probobaly make them skill by chipping to just to have a chanse to keep up.

Is there a reasom to worry or am i wrong on this?

I just feel that if we keep on going on like this EU will sooner or later be a universe full of Ubers killing Atrox queens like Snables.

What is youre thought on this?

To me, this is why skills are devalued after new VUs and mobs are made harder to kill. This is entropia's way of dealing with the issue.

No. That's why we got all those skill nerfs and will get even more in the future

This is something I worry about too. I don't think MA have a plan to cope with the immense amount of skills that we will all have in 5 or 10 years time (or less).

Values of skills will decrease to the value of the ESI soon. Some skills have already got there of course, but all the others will follow (except the newest ones I guess).

I don't understand what an Agility 39 Uber is though...

agreed, there will always be nerfs and these will def get worse in the future, its happened about 3 times since I joined and its really the only way

It's worth bearing in mind 10% are lost whenever someone chips out his skills, but even so, future skill nerfs in the future are a real possibility.

Assuming, that we will get a boost in accounts with the new planets and that even if the prices on skills were on tenth of what the cost now, I would not think a lot will be able to become uber that fast . Would still costs 100k $ to get there.
Then again... what is uber in skills ?! Always thought it was above 300k and medium starts around 100k.

Sometimes chipping in is cheaper than skilling up, only after level 20 I see no big savings possible.

I think it will be possible in the future, when the level 39 become unreachable for noobs as the level 100 did become nowaday

Hunting 5+ hours a day for 1.5 years I could be already 80+ in agility in the pre-vu8.8 times, while I'm only slightly over 60 and it takes a month now to increase it a point up.

Agility 39 Uber is a player so chipped that he can do the same thing as the Ubers althoug he just have 39 in Agility.

A more proper thing to call them would be low Agility Ubers.
