Increase the number of meritable WS

[Alhanelem]

Pure and simple. If you aren't spec'ed out on a WS now, they don't want you ON THAT JOB. So, you are left with a limited job selection based in large part by your WS merits. This was NOT the case with the merit system in the past.

Again, this means that the weapon skills are too good, not that the merit system is flawed. This didn't happen with the group 2 merits, which added lots of new spells and abilities. If those went around for this long without threads like this coming up, then the merit point system itself is not at fault for the current situation. The weaponskills themselves are.

It's not like there Aren't any other threads complaining that one or more of the weapon skills are too good.
