Thread: sign my petition and be heard
This petition I have started is mainly to get something done about the distribution of skill points as we progress through our chosen professions. I have submitted this post on every profession for fairness and equality. In the Scouting profession, 24 points are required to obtain optimal terrain negotiation. +40 to terrain negotiation divided 4 skill tress, including novice scout. For those professions not requiring any scouting skills, these are a necessary evil. Walking up hills can be quite deadly in pvp. And general questing turns into more of a burden than an adventure with out these skills.
I propose that terrain skills be granted as we obtain Master in our chosen professions. The more professions we master the more skills we obtain. So not to leave the scouting and all its elite professions in the dark, and terrain skills obtained in those trees should be added to the base amount.
Lets all speak up so we can use these skills for something that better servers us. ie.... vendors, medical knowledge, artisan skills etc.

I believe what the others are trying to tell you is everyone wants to be the best at everything. Human nature is greed therefore it would be grand to have "free" skills just for being Master. But look at it on the flip side, that means a Master Weaponsmith or Bounty Hunter should get slicing just because he is a Master... or how about a Master Ranger gaining Feign Death? Not fair because you chose to be a Smuggler for it's unique skills not because everyone can get the ability for hitting Master. Same should be true for those who dedicate their lives to the Wilderness or Medicine.
Hope that gives you some insight on why the others just said "That's a dumb idea"

Um, this would also render an entire skill tree of the Squad Leader professionrather useless, and SL as a whole is alreadyquite broken.
Besides, such a large proportion of the PvP population are BH dabblers already, so they all have terrain negociation skills. 
p.s.: alright, maybe I'm just bitter because eyeshot is what gets me killed the most in PvP. 
If you want to move faster up hills, get Scouting skills. Simple as that. We're city folk, anyway - why should we get wilderness skills?
Now a small Burst Run boost - that might make sense for a Smuggler who has to get away in a tight spot. Maybe a 5-10 second Burst Run would be a sensible skill - just enough to get out of a building and run around a street corner. Still, I can think of dozens of other skills I'd rather see Smugglers get.
But no way should thatborrowfrom "terrain"-related skills. Our terrain is a grimy street, and as you may have noticed, that's flat.
Yay, why dont you add on that at master marksman we get to make and use all stimpacks, all weapons, and armor.
We should also get every special ability. Its stupid that master marksmen dont get last ditch and eye shot and +100 pistol speed. Screw it, forget getting it at master. Just give terrain negotiation and all of the above to everyone at novice of any skill.
DO YOU COMPREHEND BALANCE?
