Seriously, how can I ever advance if I don't get any skill points!?!

In the last 16 days I have taken 53 cases; one wrong accuse and maybe 2 quit; from which I have earned 3 points. Is this normal or am I being punished for some reason?

I think you are doing really well to have 96 total skill points at 21,720 exp points. I have 149,800 and only have 120 total skill points. It starts taking more and more exp points to earn 1 skill point. One time I kept count and it was about 10,000 exp points to earn 1 skill point. (I stopped counting after that) Keep working at it, you are doing fine.

My stats:
483820 exp points
134 skill points

I think that you're not being punished, it's normal.

Ara, once you hit that 150,000 it slows down more. I am up to 20K for one skill point, i have 318,000 exp

Mave, I've generally been able to solve cases fairly regularly (few quits) at a difficulty one or two levels ABOVE what I was getting in favors. If you try that, you should get more skill points since you're doing harder cases.

You will probably also have to quit a few more cases than you are used to, so that's when you have to decide if earning skill points or getting the satisfaction (and quicker favors) from actually completing the cases is more important to you.
