What new character will have hundreds of thousands of gold to do this? Exactly.. Vets will continue, with stores of money, will do this to top off their schools all the while not being in game.

I guess what this does do is take so many people out of the game no one will be around to do much so it's easy farming for the noobies.

I dunno, another band-aid thrown at a sucking chest wound IMO.

Maybe it could work with better fore thought but as it stands now I just see people offline skilling and not actively playing and how can you pvp kill someone for loot/reagents/gear while they are offline?
