You get points from combat skill usage. But you need to combat, right?

I have seen many macroes around where I am (823), most are runners against hills and walls, some fish into eternity and I have seen some single spot terraformers (lower, raise, lower, raise, lower, raise ...). I agree with people here who claim that current skill system is macro inviting but I still can blame those who macro for misusing it. I also know of few guys with extremly high combat skills (80+), all thanks to macroing.

The problem is that macroing is hard to prove yet so easy to set up. Instead of baning macro users devs should think how to prevent it by overhauling skilling system. I would not mind getting rid of leveling at all, and have skills be only affetced by direct use. It's too late now for some guys but better late then never. Imho.
