You've been around here long enough to know that when we say "stats are broken", we don't mean that "stats do nothing at all". We mean that "the implementation of stats is unintuitive and the gains are not consistent and the benefits of any one particular stat, while stated in-game, are not immediately noticeable by the player through regular gameplay".

Don't try to put your own narrow interpretation of "stats don't work" into our mouths when you know perfectly well what we mean.
you say stats dont work, and people who read these forums think it means they have no effect, you think people know but they really dont. People think they do nothing, people ask if they should even allot points the stats that are the main function of thier class. Trust me when i say, a lot of people think when you say stats are broken, you mean that stats dont do anything, or it isnt worth allotting into anything but vit and mnd. To be honest, i really didnt understand why yall were saying stats were broken until you just told me what you meant.

I will say that even knowing now, what you mean, i have to disagree, stats work, they boost my properties, not as much as a weapon, or direct boosts, but thats logical, most stats effect multiple things. They will probably change how stats work, and i will adapt, but if the stat system stayed the same, i really would be fine with that. (barring mage stats, i know nothing about them)
