I haven't played this game in a while and was thinking of changing back after finding out how disapointing Scions of Fate was, but i heard about this new "skill system". Is it for the better or the worse and is it worth playing?

ware, awsome gaming from this brand only!
Hey, I think the new skill system is just awesome.
I used to play before version 7 came out. I had quit for some time and in that time the game was updated and tweaked a bit with ver. 7. When I came back, the biggest delight was to see the new Skill system.
The old system, we all know. Spam your skills to raise your skill level. With the new system, you no longer have to spam your skills to level them up. Now you get an X number of skill points every time you level up. And you apply them to a skill. Let's say you want a certain skill, well, just like the old system, you still have to level a particular skill up far enough that it unlocks a higher skill. The new system is still the same in this respect. Except now you don't have to spam skills with every free second you can squeeze out. If a new skill opens up, you just apply the points you need to attain that skill and BAM!, you now have a new skill. No more spamming your shortcut keys. No more AFK skill bots.
The good thing is that when they redesigned the skill system, if you have been inactive for a long time, you will have a ton of skill points credited to you.
But hey, best of all, NO more skill spamming.!!!
FlyFF FTW!
Godfatherk, I am sorry that you don't like it. I really like the new skill system.
I am trying to think why anyone would like sitting at their compuer, with Flyff open hitting F <whatever> again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and for hours on end just trying to level their skills up.
Now if it were like FFXI where you leveled your magic skills as you used them, that would be a welcome change. Of course, there are your battle skills that you level up while grinding away at mobs, sure. But skills like Protect, you just sit there spamming them to death.
Personally, I am glad that you don't have to spend all that extra time leveling up skills. I am glad that I can just get back to grinding instead of spamming skills all day long.
But if you liked that aspect of leveling your skills up, I commend you. You're probably a more patient player than myself. So, kudos!
If you want to play again I would reccomend a job that wasn't so skill-intensive, like one of the merc classes. Pretty much acros and mages got screwed over big time by the v7 update. Before v7 I was doing 2400+ dmg per spell cast. After v7 I was doing 1700. The fact of the matter is with the new skill system, if you're going to play a mage, you're not going to be as strong as the people who were high levels before v7 came out.
In time it won't really matter though. If they change it back then no problem. If they don't then the older players will eventually leave the game and you'll be on par with all of the other post-v7 magic users.
It's still a fun game if you can hang in there. And I'd suggest playing on the newest server cluster also. If you go for mage then you might want to look into specializing in only 2 or 3 of the elements. *shrugs*
Try to play with friends, buff random people (if you're an assist), fly around, annoy people in server 4(PK), play in a normal/adv. party, kill a giant monster, join a guild, do quests, chat with a random person/group, duel people in the PvP area, or sell things. Then it should be slightly more fun. If it hasn't, then, well...congratulations, your mind has officially resisted the addictiveness of this boring grindfest of a game...you should move on to another MMORPG before you actually do get addicted and continue to lvl and lvl just to reach that new weapon/skill/equipment set/class, until you start to ask yourself what's the point of this game at the 50/60+ lvls and then finally leave, feeling as if a great burden has been lifted from your shoulders....
This advice is in no way related to my gaming experience in Flyff...well maybe some parts are. Or all of it.
OMFG I HATE FLYFF'S SERVER. Sorry bout that but ive been trying to connect to it for like 3 days and it wont let me, yet my computer will connect to Maplestory and other internet programs just fine. This Flyff server is a peice of shit. Because even when i do (finally) connect it just d/c's after like an hour or two and then i cant connect again for like half an hour!
What is going on????? Is it that stupid GM dude called Chris?
Are you having a bad day?
Simply Alt+F4 and all your troubles will go away!

Now the skill system changed, because of the disappointed players that where asking the gms to change it. And I'm glad they did. Before as an assist or a mage noone could max they're skills, but now they can max all their 2nd job skills. That's why every level you get points. At a player 61-80 lvl you get 5 points each lvl, at 81-100 6 and so on. Also when we change job we take bonus according to class we had chosen
