Question Re: Merit Point Expansion

[Kaiichi]

Doubt those are the only options, with the way things are going who is to say a group 3 won't be added with the job ability/traits above Lv.75?

On the merit point front, you can rest assured that the development team hasn’t forgotten about this system even with the advent of the job point system. After the June version update we will be increasing the caps on certain merit point categories – meaning that if you’ve already increased HP to stage 15, you’ll be able to put merit points into MP. We’re also looking into increasing the amount of merit points you can store at once.

The above post indicates that they are looking to increase category caps (options 1 and 2) rather than adding new merit options or increasing individual caps (option 3). The example that Camate gave would fit in option 1, but it doesn't necessarily mean they won't do option 2. At the time of his post, I asked for clarification and didn't get a reply.

Although I'm not sure I fully understand the implementation...I may need to see it in action :-)
