Frustrating/misleading text or text otherwise lacking in clarity.

I have two things that are bugging me: 

- The first is that it's not clear at all when you purchase a subscription that you need the Teleportation skill to use the Teleportation Tokens. I was really excited to try this out, and couldn't figure out how to use them - there was no option showing up when I clicked on the map. So I asked people, and a ton of people insisted that I "should" be able to use them, which led to a lot of frustration for me before I finally found someone who told me that I need the skill. I don't mind that I have to have the skill, but I think most users would reasonably expect to be able to use them immediately regardless, and it's confusing when there isn't even anywhere to get the information that you need Teleportation.

- I had a 3 day skill that I used favor to remove some time from, and then I switched to another skill and then came back later. Given the text:

"Whoa! You're learning super fast. Keep in mind, if you switch skills you'll lose your super speed."

I assumed  that I would lose whatever speed I had gained, and would be able to use favour to get it back again. Instead I found that it's impossible to reduce the learning time at all after you switch away; according to the people in Live Help you can't spend favour to reduce the skill's learning time after you've switched away after increasing the speed. Given the text, I expected to lose the bonus speed I'd previously gained, but I (reasonably) expected that I would be able to use favour to restore it again.

  • I agree. That warning about learning super fast should read something like: "Keep in mind, if you switch skills you'll lose the ability to speed up learning any further on this skill when you switch back."
