I wouldn't recommend saying "wala" again, the point would've been made without butchering the language!
As for skillbooks themselves I do agree the system has drawbacks, but ultimately one of the best games of the last 20 years had an interesting skill mechanic - Guild Wars.
Regarding someone foolishly proclaiming the game is "dumbed down" with a system that rewards players for being intelligent with their resources (in this case, skill points and which skills to take) is akin to believing that a classless system requires fewer brain cells activating in sequence. The classless system is just fine and worked out fairly well - obviously a few more companions would've been a boon but still, the game is enjoyable and those feeling it's "dumbed down" should stick to Sudoku to increase their brainpower.
I find it ammusing that people don't seem able to conduct a rational conversation that has an opinion different to them without using personal insults.
Believe it or not people are able to formulate their own opinions about things that will differ from yours, and even if they make spelling mistakes or disagree with you it doesn't make them stupid, nor does it make them wrong.
Thankyou for your opinion. You might like to work on your people skills though.
