Personally i'd like to balance him on a flaming tight rope suspended over various vicious (normally) caged beasts, with a killer bee hive attached to one end of his balance stick and on the other side a monkey flinging poo at him.

That might be just a BIT extreme.

OP has my support, and it looks like 64 others, too xD

Hello Square Enix. Just thought I might bring this back up again since the content seems to be getting light due to work on the Expansion... Maybe throw this in an update and shut everyone up while they squee for glee and merit their fun Weaponskills?

P.S if you tell us "No, Because if we raise it to 5 you'll ask for more" - I'm booking my ticket to the next vana'fest so I can convince every player there to ask the Dev team to raise the Merit point limit on WS.

Camate / Oki and other CR's can you please bring this up to the devs. There is a large amount of support from the player base on this issue and it won't effect "game balance" in any way.

I already predict a responce much like this one...

Good evening, Vana'diel!

As a part of the character growth system, we will be increasing merit caps and adding new categories in the future. However, we will not be removing the cap entirely.

The reason we are not removing this cap is because it would allow players to ultimately max out everything and cause characters to become universal or too versatile.
The whole idea behind merit points is to offer many choices and allow players to choose based on their preferences. This way, even though it’s the same job amongst everyone, their proficiencies and roles are different. With that said, by totally removing the cap from merit points, the fundamental purpose would be lost.

Nothing to do with balance, they just don't want to let everyone do alot, you pick and choose the best things and the rest are a waste of time.

I'm fine with a "Pick and Chose" Scenario, But 3 is too limiting. 5 Seems like a Balanced number. 3 Is just an insultingly low amount.

I can get every single WS in the game, Relic, Mythic, Empyrean, etc if i work hard enough... So i don't understand the logic behind making a new set of WS completely unobtainable at max power to the playerbase (I.E they're functionally worthless withput 5 Merits)... But I get that they want them unique.

I just 3 Is too unique, and 5 would be a great compromising middle ground both players and Devs should be able to enjoy.

Need to be able to pick 5 not 3. Even 4 would be an absolute minimum at best, 3 are just overtly stingy!!

Why does SE have a problem with letting people spend time gaining the 2,000,000 extra limit points that would be necessary to fully merit two additional weapon skills? It doesn't make sense.
