One million limit points for a sidegrade? What is the Dev Team's logic behind this?

[noodles355]

I'm going to keep this short and to the point.

• With a few exceptions, most of the new "Meritable Weaponskills" are sidegrades to current available weaponskills when merited to 5/5.
• It takes 100 merit points to upgrade one weaponskill to 5/5. That is one million limit points.
• Considering they are weaker than current alternatives if merited to 4/5 or less, it is pointless to merit them any lower than 5/5.

The question I would like the community reps to forward to the Dev Team is pretty straight forward:
Considering the disclaimer displayed before logging into the game, who on the Development Team thought it would be a good idea for players to spend time gathering one million limit points for a weaponskill that is no better than current alternatives, and why?

We have received comments from the development team about their goals for some of the weaponskills. They openly admit that they want them to be side-grades. The question is, how can they justify one million limit points for a sidegrade?

100 merits is like what? 10 Hours of exp?

Meaningless. They should have made it more.

In a lot of cases these new weapon skills are worse then pre 75 WS we already for example, Vorpal Blade, Hexa Strike, Raging Rush are all higher damaging then the new WS.

I do not know what the dev team is thinking making people get 100 merits for a 96+ weapon skill for it to under perform compared to what is already available.

I think the idea is for you to merit these weapon skills on jobs that can't use weapon skills like Hexa Strike and Raging Rush.

Yeah, cause meriting the club WS is totally going to get me to use club on WAR and BLU

Yes. There is nothing hard in the game anymore, I'm bored.

Pre-nerfs, Realmrazer looked quite viable for BLU.

With no real good clubs at 75 and them not giving blue any more, even if it wasnt nerfed, would blu be using them over swords?
