[dev1210] Why Not Merit Weaponskills ??

[Alhanelem]

That's a highly disrespectful and demeaning comment. You're just outright insulting me and anyone who disagrees with you at this point.

It was a joke at the time, not an insult. Also, it's the only such thing Ive made in this entire thread. I have not been insulting you or anyone else who disagrees with me, whereas I've been called multiple names including "moron" for my opinion. Have I called you any names? No. Have I called anyone else any names? No. Others have been FAR, FAR more disrespectful and demeaning to me.

There's no justice around here, I'm the one being attacked for my opinion. I've made it very clear that I'm not trying to attack anyone or anything, that inspite of my view I still find significant flaws in the merit system, and that while I hold this viewpoint, I do understand and respect the view held by others. So why you all seem so hellbent on attacking me, calling names, and making me look bad, I really don't know.

As I said before, if I've made up my mind and I've acknolwedged the other viewpoint and I'm in a minority, why try so hard to break me down? If SE decided they wanted to make changes to merits based on this thread, it's pretty obvious what they'd do so it's not like you have anything to worry about.

You're shooting your own argument in the foot by downplaying the effectiveness of the merit weapon skills.

Actually, I'm strengthening my argument. If their impact is minor, they are totally fine to remain as they are. Customization doesn't have to be extraordinarily useful. The benefits are minor but so are the pitfalls.
