Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, I completed Better Learning V. Boy howdy, that took some time!
Unfortunately, this morning I was browsing my next plan of attack on the skill tree and noticed that Mining III would take a scooch over 19 hours. No problem, I'll start it late afternoon, I think to myself. I get around to starting it up and … what's this? 20 hr 58 min 49 sec?! But… it was… uh… I swear… That's very weird. Ooookay… I'll just start it maybe when I hit the sack. Fast forward 4 hours later and now, what the?! 21 hr 36 min 35 sec?!?! Seriously? I only have (currently) 32 skills learned. And despite the BL chain affecting the count it purportedly gives a bonus to, I should be able to now learn 37 skills with NO penalty. And don't even get me started on it basically meaning that the 20% time reduction is clearly tossed out of the window.
Yet… penalty. Every time I learn a skill, the time increases on every skill.
Bug. (EDIT: Or not… hmmm… English is hard.)
