Please raise the combat and weaopn skill max merits

The job system is actually a good example of what an "uncapped" system looks like since people are free to cap jobs as they see fit without limitation. For any given person though there's actually very little benefit from capping everything though so most people don't bother, they just cap the things that interest them. But if someone is interested in capping everything, they are free to do so.

Uncapping HP, MP, combat skills, whatever wouldn't really create much tangible advantage for players who cap everything over someone who did not choose to do so since stats don't really apply to all jobs. my INT, MND, CHR merits are doing virtually nothing for my melee jobs except in rare cases, my STR, DEX, AGI merits aren't really doing much for my mage jobs when I'm playing those. Having capped MP merits doesn't help me at all when I'm playing DNC.

Debate is academic though because they're not going to lift the cap completely because they don't understand economic rationality.

That is my point exactly. Uncapping the weapon skills has absolutely no effect on content balance. People are already doing the content with groups of fully merited jobs.

Uncapping makes it easier to form good groups, gives people something to do with merits and enhances the job distribution because people who were uninterested in jobs that they can't max out will be able to max those jobs out that way.

There is absolutely no balance being achieved here by capping these.

Sure, if the three weapon skills you like happen to overlap with other jobs that you also like. That can go both ways though. Some jobs have access to multiple weapon skills that don't overlap with other jobs. Say you play war and you want the axe, GS and GA weapon skills. Now you can have weapon skills on thief, whm, drg, sam, monk etc. In the case of war, you can't even maximize all the weapons for just that one job.

There are no exceptions in this case. The cap on WS has no positive effect.

The problem was that you didn't think I was talking about the weapon skill category. I should have been more clear.

I rarely say "you're wrong" to anyone in the game. They paid for their toon, they can do what they want with it. If they ask for my opinion I'll give it, otherwise I just move on. Even on here what I'm usually asking for is all jobs to be equally relevant, although I disagree that the way to do that is to boost everythings' DPS, especially when the job isn't a DD. People should be able to play the way they want to play, but that isn't the tone on here unfortunately.
