awesome idea and would be easily executed IMO. |Even without prizes or incentives would make for decent bragging rights,
a couple forum emblems showcasing these achievements or a little side banner on website would be a nice addition

Humans, we can do this as a community run event too if it doesn't happen officially.

I really like this idea and hope it’s implemented!

Sounds like a pretty cool idea I'm pretty excited about more kinds of community event/competitions, although, from that list, I think the 'best skiller' idea is the easiest one to implement, with the most potential.

The only issue i can see with this is that there has to be a way to balance the rich and the poor.  Some skills can be sped up with cold hard cash while some can't. Poor players would only be able to compete in skills that money can't buy like fishing mining etc.

Good point. There would be many ways to go about holding these kinds of events though, so I'm sure there's ways to circumvent the issue.

Eager to hear more thoughts and opinions
