New merit additions needed

I really would like to see new merit additions soon. Experience comes in so fast now it's almost too easy obtain max level and merits - and I hate seeing so much experience go to waste. There hasn't been any new merit additions since way back when 75 was the old level cap.

So I think it's time to add some new stuff we can spend merits on. Make them cost 20 merits each if you want, I don't care - but at least give us something - that way the extra limit points we earn don't go to complete waste.

They mentioned at the last Vanafest that they would, in fact, be adding a second Merit-esque category at 99. I would rather have one of those at the max level than try to mess around with established level 75 abilities.

Catagory 3. [Yes PLease.]
Increasing limits. [No Thanks.]

WAR already has every weapon skill in the game, we don't need them surpassing everyone who has it as a main skill.

Well I'm glad they at least have some merit additons planned, but they could always increase the attribute or skill caps in the meantime, or let you shave a few more seconds off of certain abilities. Letting players spend a ton of merit points for a couple more minor upgrades woudn't be harmful and would give us at least something to spend otherwise useless limit points going to waste.

I just want more combat and magic skill merits and I'm good. Look forward to the new system at 99.

Yes, and that is how it should be, it maintains balance over the jobs that have multiple weapon skills.

Warriors don't have every weapon skill in the game, and certainly can't come anywhere close to surpassing everyone else's main skill levels by using merits. This concern is a fiction.

More merit categories would be fabulous. I'd also love to be able to put more merits in to already existing categories... for instance I've maxed out archery and marksmanship for my ranger because it is my favorite job but I'd also really love to max out club for my white mage. I think people can play so many jobs now that it would make sense to be able to put more merits in for many weapons and magic types.

Sounds liek a WAR to me. lol
You seem to forget that there's only 12 weapons and WAR has 10 of them, 7 of which are B rating or higher(1 D.). B caps @335 at level 90 and then +16 onto all of them? No thank you. The only things WAR is missing are the 3 "Job Specific" skills(Including defencive.), Katana, Great Katana and Guarding.

On another note, the one and only increase I would want to see is defencive skills from 4 to 8. They are the same catagory after all.

Please add useful merits to ninja /
