I was in beta and I'm a 3332 imperial pilot. I'll admit I think I moved up faster than any new player in the imperial pilot program as that is what i did in beta but I understand how frustrating it is to see people with master level skills a day after they became available. Personally I think it's the biggest flaw in this game. A Master pilot should not be a qualification you can earn in a day or even a week. I would have hoped a month or more would be needed to make master. All that xp to grind and it doesn't mean anything when missions give you skill points. (Spoiler) Lower level pilots may not realize is but tier 2 is the last place you need to grind. Tier 3 is all mission based. You complete a mission, you get a skill. I assume tier 4 and master are the same so it does not require grinding out xp or lots of kills, just need to finish the mission.

I don't think there were master pilots on day 2 but there were master shipwrights... That was the biggest slap in the face imo. If they'd made that profession advance more slowly it would have helped a lot because you can't complete harder missions without better ships. Several master shipwrights said it took them between 4-6 hours to complete the profession. Granted that requires a lot of resources stocked up but it's still just 4-5 hours and poof you are a master shipwright.

All of tier 4 xp is grinding, but the duty missions make it a bit more bearable. The missions are about the same diffculty as tier 3 they just seem easier because your equipment *should* be better.

The Beta freaks always always always get there first and ruin the game for everyone else. Why? Because there is nothing left for them to do but GRIEF!!!!!

The Beta freaks vs the Casual Player, no contest-- the Beta Freaks rule any game and as a result end it for everyone with the game going belly up.

Something to think about.
