Actually, the zone as a whole has not become trivial for me yet. I will get that message until I reach the point in my level where my maximum skill level increases. You get 5 skill points per level, available at 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80% (I'm pretty sure). Then I'll get a skill-up and it goes back to saying it's trivial again.
This matches my own experience. Instead of just letting you jump up 5 points at or near the beginnning of each level, EQ2 doles out the points to you one at a time - every 20% of the level.
This holds true for all skills, not just foraging... difference is you don't "trivialize" casting or combat skills. But it does stay in the flavor of their whole mini-ding concept.

It should be telling me I've reached my level cap for that skill, if anything.
I agree with you here too but I think it's just a matter of convenience for them... They really need 2 unique messages and the code to determine who gets which... they only have one message and everyone gets it!
