Wow! What a nice report.
You are great
But as for Mages... we have several other problems.
Mana makes us regulary waiting.
I don't have a problem with restrictions for skills. The system is based on the idea, that you have to chose wisely while resting, which skillset you want to use. All things you will face till the next resting is depending on your decision.
With the presets you can build yourself a PVP, PVE, Mining, Gathering, whatever Set. You just need to rest to change it, a simple campfire will do it.
Yes, you can not change if you accidential hit on PVP... buuut, depending on the area you will live in and you want to discover, you chose your set.
If you have a friendly Gatherer Skill on Tartaros you can get nice stuff, but you live with the risk, someone could come across... or you chose to find harder the stuff you need, but you are able to survive, if there are bad boys behind the next tree.
I like that kind of system.
That makes the gaming experience way more interesting, because it counts, what you chose and you have to live with the consequences of your decisions.
Or more clear said, if you wanna have a slow skill, take a Mage with you
