It says time is increased for skills after 20 skills are learned. I've only learned 15 skills and my time is increasing for all remaining skills.
Perhaps you should change the tooltip to say that time is increased after you START LEARNING 20 skills, not only after 20 skills are learned. I've STARTED learning 25 skills... but I'm only actually completed 15 skills.
Why should I be punished for partially learning a skill?
Answer: Because Tiny Speck didn't think through the skill penalty thing. Time required to learn skills should NOT increase over time. Every skill should have a set time. The whole skill system really needs to be reworked, as I keep seeing threads upon threads in the General Forums about NEW PLAYERS who just do not understand how the skills work in regards to time. It's just confusing, and this is coming from a guy who used to play Asheron's Call (way back in 1999).
