Based on previous experiments (example: old version of shapeshift spell/skill), I'm pretty sure everyone would just go off and spam these for a few hundred hours before 'really' playing their characters, if that's what they had to do to be 'optimally effective'. Most likely complaining about it all the while.

I mean, we had people who never in their life would ever win any kind of a PK even if the other guy was linkdead feeling like they 'had' to get shapeshift skill ASAP to compete in PK. I don't see this playing out any different in practice.
