as usual....im here to whine and cry about skills. its bad enough that you may fail the same test a few times - with an A, and a couple Bs...but its even worse if you have to pay this much to fail over and over.

the level 6 test is $36k. im sure once you get to level 8+ its getting close to $100k. why the heck should a test cost that much? we already paid our dues, by "studying" for it for 3-4 months. when you are paying $70k to take a test with a "B", i think we should get a gaurantee to pass. my mind will explode if i test for $70k+ with a B and fail. my blood pressure is going through the roof just thinking of the potential of this - or of failing with an A for a $100k test.

anyone in favor of a $50k limit on the tests? and/or....a guarantee "pass" with an A? i think both of these suggestions are reasonable.

Cash really isn't that hard to make in this game. A player at your level should have no trouble criming $100k in 2-3 days and considering that you are looking at a couple of months between exams (minimum) at higher skill levels the cash element is pretty reasonable IMWO.

As I mentioned in another thread nobody is putting a gun to your head and telling you to take a test with a B and there already is a guaranteed pass available at 100% complete.

I think the skill setup for the most part is fine. Only changes I would like to see is:

Abolish test days. Really is pointless in my view, I think putting a restriction of 1 exam attempt per day (pass or fail) would be a better format.

Reducing the penalty for exam failure. Losing 3 or 4 days study time for failing an exam is too harsh. a loss of 1 or 2 days study time seems more reasonable.
