Am I dense?

hmm im not sure why it should be different for PVP, it is the exact same scenario, if i have better gear than someone i should have an advantage or else why bother? not trying to argue but i think this is a valid point.

if someone can get 500 STR from melding then all the power to em, in fact im sure they deserve whatever benefit they get- without the stat-police saying "oh no we will have to cap you at 350, sorry bout that"

brass tacks- the whole stat system imho is a complete mess, everything about it is counter-intuitive and overly complicated.

changes have obviously been thought about though- going by yoshi's post, so hopefully it will come good, but i think it is flawed on a fundamental level and needs drastic changes.

The way I understand it they just want people to be able to use more Materia than the base attributes.

With a lower cap on those, it opens up for a wider use of attack or crit attack and things like that. So something quad melded still will be superior, but all four of those melds don't have to be str anymore.

Again, as I understand what others are saying.

Bingo.

They lower the soft caps, but at the same time increase the weight of those numbers on the math magic. It allows for a wider array of options when it comes to the types of rocks people cram into gear.
