What about we simply remove skill scrolls? Or seriously reduce their 
frequency?
I think one could acquire a skill either "randomly" (drop in water a few 
times, you start knowing how to basically swim - but you can't progress 
much), or through some masters (want to learn karate? then find a dojo where 
to train, and acquire basic skills, and when you're somehow higher level you 
can train for higher level access).
Of course not all skills would necessarily work like that (how do you train 
woodsman without really using it?)
