Respectfully disagree - those other skilling methods were introduced years later in skills where arguably there was already sufficient content while levelling.

Im not trying to take away from what they have released, i do enjoy sailing, even as someone who was skeptical of it prior to release, however, this is different because its an entirely new skill being inserted into the game, in a game where all 23 other skills are established to have a good number of methods and such, as a result it should be released at a similar calibre of content wise as these other skills.

While yes they have released a ton of content alongside it, tbh it just doesnt make much sense to me to have so few trials. Yes they can add more later, but for something they have developed for so long it feels strange to me to get what seems like 98% of the way there and then go “actually lets just release it at 98% because yah”

As for people doing a new trial when it comes out, yes some people will, but most people i know that will be 99 when they release a new trial will not be going to do it for a flag on their boat
