You're missing that for some reason the developers refuse to change this so normal people will understand it. There's just about a post a day on this.

Your "proficiency" score is not the same as your skill level. If you do a mouse over on the skill you'll see the proficiency score. To get a 60 proficiency I believe you'll have to get something like a 70 or 72 skill level.

It makes no sense at all why they did it this way, it's confusing and stupid even in retrospect. But take heart because you're not alone!


@DarkStarr, you guys need to change this. Seriously, no one gets it the first time and if it were not for the bug hunters refusing to submit a ticket because it's "per design" you guys would have exponential support tickets for it. Please safe yourself the trouble of wondering why you didn't change it to be more intuitive (making the skill and the proficiency the same number) before this game approaches a larger population.

@Attenwood Please submit this for review. Confusing design is confusing.
