It's going to take activity each day. In testing, getting to rank 7 in one skill will take on average 250 days if no hours are wasted on other skills and you only take a test with an A+ grade. In contrast, another player in the same time could get to rank 5 in one skill and rank 4 in another. Another player can get 2 rank 4s and a rank 3.

Although I can see the points here, if you only have the courses done though, meaning INT level 7, you can donate credits to raise your INT higher and get higher skills. To me, this is becoming more donator based as time goes on making it practically impossible to play unless you wish to invest hundreds of real dollars to be up there.

We have donate to get better stats for each refresh, donate to level endurance to get better stats, donate to buy better houses, armor, donate to credit train, fill happiness, energy and now donate to level intelligence and get better skills in the long run.

I fail to see where a non-donator benefits from playing now. I have been on both sides of the coin, donator and non-donator. As a person who only buys credits off the market now, you can not compete with people who have tons of real money to invest in this game. Activity is not the key in this scenario sadly
