Perhaps maxing skill loss to 5% or whatever, below max attained level. Your progress could be stopped but not reversed. Even that when i say it, why? In what video game is backward character progress fun? Not for this guy anyway and I don't think that is what many people are going to like at general release. I think devs should fix it before then. That probably won't happen so I will move on ignoring the skill bars as much as I can. Silly me enjoying progress.

High fives to everyone who came here to tell me to be better. Y'all are the best.
