I think the discussion has come to a vital point. It's hard to skill lots of different things because so much is left to do. Some want more mobs and/or mob types, some want more tools and/or equipment available, some want UG mining, some want more land to explore, some want something else entirely. The order that the devs are working on is pretty mysterious to me, but I'm sure they have some kind of plan in mind.
At this point I'm focusing my time on skilling what I can when I can and just waiting for the rest as patiently as possible. I can't think of anything else to do since I don't play many other games.
