There is not supposed to be, but there is.
I was a huge tradeskiller in the classic era, and the advice on EQ Traders (and everywhere else) was clear: success rates have no effect on skill learning, only on how many items you create. Now, there was plenty of "knowledge" that was passed around in that era that was false, but tradeskillers tended to be extremely data-driven and I'm almost certain someone had done research to prove as much.
Thus, I'm at least 80% certain that the tradeskill algorithm we have here is not classic, and is based on changes they made after the classic era. But sadly I haven't been able to find the research to support that since EQ Traders is blocked from the Wayback Machine.
