Reading at this, I feel this is one point CCP should look into.

The academy is a bandaid to match making. And I am not surprised Lord Butts, that you have some difficulty understanding the Skill system in relation with weapons and items, it isn't user friendly. So you end up with a need to go on forum to get some info.

My best advice, ask for somebody currently playing which could give you a hand with skills with voice chat, or Look at DS10 tutorial on youtube.
Understand that when you'll spent your SP, try not to put them in unwanted skills, because you won't be able to get them back.

hey guys look at me, I did just ok in battle academy!!

Was that really worth a thread?

Read the thread, you asshat. I'm new to this and didn't know about Academy and real matches.

I'll admit...two weeks into this game and I suck...but Im having lots of fun

10,000 lifetime WP or 2 million lifetime SP. Shouldn't take long. Even if you only got 500 WP per game, that's still only 20 games.

People bad in fps? No way, no other fps has bad players :D

No, I'm not gloating over my m4d 5k11lz. I've only sat down and played Dust twice: months ago during the beta and last night, and half the time I don't even know what's going on. I'd say I'm fairly decent and just screwing around with the game and not taking anything seriously, be it whatever the objective is to the customisation. However, up until now, I've encountered mostly newbs. I don't know if they're literally new to the game or just bad at it, but playing online has mostly been a cakewalk for me. I generally trot through the map wherever I want and hardly anybody notices me, even if I'm right in front of them. When someone decides to shoot, their accuracy tends to be 12% and I just do my thing. I've noticed that the only people that actually put up a fight is the ones with upgraded weapons, so I'm assuming they're the "pros".

I mean look at this:

I wasn't doing some secret agent shiat. Just point and shoot.

Has anyone else noticed this? I only play the "general" type game, if that has anything to do with it. Whatever it's called. Not Corp games or the other option.
