No. You see this is where we're misunderstanding one another I think.

Imagine on this chart the left is how little someone wants to log in due to something, while the right is how much people want to log in because of something.


Now, what we have right now is this...


This is neutral, people don't want to log in more, nor do they want to log in less necessarily, meaning this update has no impact by not being done. This is what I was saying is the case.

The way you originally worded your statement is "If not being able to max all weapon skills is pushing you towards not logging in, there is probably a lot more serious issues that have pushed you in that direction already." which would look more like...


Which is showing fewer people wanting to log in till this kind of update would be done. Regardless, it's not what is being said. What is being said is that right now we're at that neutral point up above but doing this...


Merits don't limit you, they give you choices for customization.
They only give you choices for customization via limiting you. So that's basically saying they don't limit you, they just limit you. It's a "one man's trash is another man's treasure" situation, call it what you like it's a limiting system either way.
