My party members are going to assume that I placed most of my points in Intelligence or Peity, but instead I placed them in STR or DEX.
Your sig tells me you at least craft a little. Now imagine having the game put points in for you for any crafting or gathering job. Now you have all these random stat points that do you nothing when if you could distribute yourself, you could have all your points placed into the 2 stats that your class bases their main and off hand tools from.

I would rather be able to choose where my points will go instead of having them put into useless stats on particular classes. Going by that we get to pool points separately for each class, this is better than the current system.
