I am by no means a star player but I have been playing a very long time. What I cannot get my brain around is how 200 skill points (I just got an item with 150 skill points in mining and another with 50) can even make a dent when my next level is nearly 30,000 points. And I am only at level 40. Can you imagine how long it is going to take to level up at level 70 or 80 with points as low as 5 or less? Please make the items on this board scale to the players level.
