The way I'd look at it would be that level 50 is (currently) the "prime" of
a player. The player is the best they can be so to speak. So this would be
the prime time of their life. The same would go to 75 if that's what the cap
was raised to. I don't agree with the curve from low at 1 to high at 25 to
low at 50 again. 50 is when you're at your peak so to speak in my opinion.
I'm not saying people should be able to raise their skills to
uncomprehendable numbers with skill points, but they should be able to raise
them to their natural maximums over time.
