I agree with Sarumar, even though it does take longer for the high level players to level up giving them more skill points would be counter-productive and allow them to gain levels way faster.

If (for example) starting at level 200 you get 2 skill points instead of 1 every 4 levels, Sarumar would have approximately 50 more skill points now that he already has. Imagine how many skill points in quick learner he could have...
I'm a big fan of Quick Learner, but even I think only using this skill is a waste when there are more "fun" skills around. The problem is, since many of them have 6-10 prerequisite skills, it might not seem worth the looong grind (if you're already high level and it takes longer to level up), and I thought this might encourage more higher level players to go for those skills. I suspect even if you used each "easier to get" (relatively speaking of course) skill point on just Quick Learner, you'd still get diminishing returns.

An additional 50 skill points can be turned into an additional 250% boost in XP (on top of whatever you already have) if it is all invested in Quick Learner.

If something like this would added IMPO a cap would needed to be added to many of the skills, including quick learner.

Well they way it would work a cap on skill increase would be 2 or 3 as Max skills and adding this skill even for current would still start at 0

Forged those overpowered build..

How about a new skill "collector"
-You got 3 extra skillpoints per level of this skill; prequisite for this skill is Merchant 1, Treasure Hunrer 1, Magic finder 1. You can upgrade this skill to level 2 when you have all of those prequisite skills at least level 2, etc

Also overpowered.

Spend 3 skill points (1 TH, 1 MF, 1 Mer)
Spend 1 Skill point (Collector)
Gain 3 skill points (thus getting TH, MF, and Mer for free)

With this in the end you would be spending 1 Sp to get 3 skills.
