I would like to see maybe some of the responsibilities of academies done in GUILDS instead. Assassins guild train assassins in their skills. A merchant guild trains traders in their skills. A Blacksmith guild trains.... etc. So now there becomes a real reason to have guilds other than milking prestige and honor points, and having all the training done under one generic "academy".
