The reason I suggested the values I did for the update scale was because of how many points you could usually earn. Since the update scalr has been introduced, the number of points available had increased dramatically, rendering the scale pointless. Normally in STHS, very few people have skills over 90. We have an abundance of players with 99 in a lot of skills, something we were trying to avoid. Honestly, I'd propose another update scale, which makes getting elite skills cost a lot.

70-75: 2 points
75-80: 3 points
80-85: 4 points
85-90: 5 points
90-95: 7 points
95-99: 10 points

No more perfect players. To get a skill to 90, it takes 90 points, but to get to 99, it takes 165. If you want to be really elite at something, you have to pay for it. More variation in players, and the update scale actually does its job.
