If afk scripting of instruments is going to be enforced, and I understand why that is, I would recommend maybe a reduction in how long it takes to get ranks. Going off of Krakiipedia's numbers(http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_learning) it takes a bit over 663 hours to go from start to adept on an instrument. So far, personally, I have spent over 1/3 a year just playing instruments to become adept at them. I have two to go.
