    And so it begins. Goodbye character control, hello to increasingly dumbed-down gameplay slope (careful, it's slippery).

    This. So much.
    The beauty is being able to control your stats is to make your own character.
    If anything, noobs should be taught what each stat means, so as to make their own decision.

    Hi Dreamer,

    As Yoshida-san said, and the majority voted for, there will still be "with optional attribute point allotment."

    So it's only partial movement of Attribute Points with some customization.

    This is a good thing.

    The current system is horrible. Being able to Reassign 200+ Points has ruined any meaningful Stat Bonuses on our Weapons and Armor. You can move HUNDREDS of points around right now, do you think the +5 STR Ring is really going to make a difference? (it doesn't)

    The current system has marginalized all equipment bonuses, and wastes players' precious time. Does anyone enjoy hitting "Reassign Points" waiting 2 - 3 hours, "Reassign Points" waiting 2 - 3 more hours, "Reassign Points" again, to finally reclaim enough points to shift from a Rank 50 Gladiator to Rank 50 Conjurer?

    Or wait, sorry, you want to grind Alchemist for a bit, oops, you need to max your INT for your Main Hand Tool, OK, back to Reassign Points... 1 day later (after Reassigning forever), click "+" button hundreds of times to reassign whatever you need to, etc.

    Good riddance.

    They are going to have less attribute points that you can assign by ranking up, and increase the attribute points on all exsisting gear, so that R45 chest piece you have will have maybe 15 dex instead of 6.

    That about sums up my experience. Grind Archer, re-allocate points, grind Conjurer, re-allocate points, grind Weaver. Get's kind of old.

    Give this guy a cookie. IF you think the current point allotment is good, think twice and read this post a couple more times.
