Hehe, i am sorry, i have recently discovered there is more to the game than grinding the level's and trying to have the most 250 Tree's.
For over 12 month i wasnt happy ingame and i rushed through a few 250 skills just cause i wanted to have them before my Sub's ran out. When i got those 250's, i was like, gawd, have to work something else, something i never wanted to do, so for a while i was logging into the game, standing @ my little hot-dog stand near yrk tp and walking away from the computer, i just couldnt face doing anything, at that time i felt i killed the game totally by rushing through the skills i like most in the game. Then i left and my Subs ran out.
I missed the game and i didnt know why until my talks out of game with Katla started, She made me remember a few things about the game i had forgotten (the people in it, they are all unique in their own way, yeah you can love them or you can hate them, but when your with the ones you love, there is fun to be had, you can chat, you can hunt, you can laugh together, you can feel sorry for someone or you can be happy for someone), i forgot all those things and just Hit the dirt and the crafting tools, if i missed 1 day of dig i would stay up for 24 hours or more to make up for lost time.. i burned myself out with the grind and forgot the friends i had which later came to dislike me so much cause i was set in my ways & got short tempered & i would fall out with someone which meant i lost their friends aswell.
i guess what i am trying to say is, my grinding days are over, i am no longer racing anyone for the most 250's or to be the first to have all trees in a skill.
My game is now about helping others where & when i can but most importantly, having fun.
Yes i will still be working crafts & melee's i dont have maxed out yet (even though some are very close to 250), but i will not be on the brain frying grinding spree i was on before, it cost me too much in the long run last time.
I know i could definately max all skills in this game, but it honestly isnt worth it, if i max all skills now, it will be at a leasurely pace while having fun, no more setting targets.
I wish you all luck on your lvl's guy's & gal's, but please, dont let yourselves get in the state i was in, its a game, enjoy it
