Remove bonus stat points

[Myric]

I'm in the process of unlocking my 5th job and the point allotment system really seems pointless. You just always put it in your main stat and that's it. It's the same as not having it at all really.

Not really. While most people will min-max, it does give you another option on tailoring your character, like giving you Paladin some piety for more mana, or your Black Mage some vitality for more HP.

And you really have to mess with the bonuses when you level Arcanist.

I doubt any paladin is putting points for more mana. The black mage vitality is a big maybe if they are under gearing content, but even then I don't think most are doing that. Arcanist isn't that complicated either. You do all int if summoner, all mind as scholor or do half and half if you play both. If they let us put points into the secondary stats like crit and accuracy, then maybe it would have more of a point.

Bolded part.. Actually you don't.. just dump it all in Int and maybe 2-4 points in vit and you will be fine.

Not recommended if you opt for SCH as your main, which I have.
Cleric Stance, while it swaps your MND and INT stats, does so at the cost of a 20% nerf to your heals, no matter which of the two stats were initially.
So, if you max your INT stat, which rocks for SMN, you'll never perform as well as a SCH as you will SMN (your Fairy's stats will reflect this, too! She's only as strong as you are!).

This is, at the core, why ACN's have extra to consider when allocating their bonus stats. You can pour all into one at the cost of the other, go half and half, or put some stats toward VIT or DEF, which could potentially benefit both.

I'm lead to beleive that as more jobs are added, this will be a consideration for all classes.

Why do you want to take the tiny bit of stat customization away that they gave us? Its not enough that I have to wear the same armor, and use the same weapon as every other BLM out there.

We are all cookie cutter and I hate it, but glass cannons ruined building a custom char so here we are with a laughable system and you want them to scrap the scraps they gave us in the first place?

No thank you, I have to say I respectfully disagree. I may need to reallocate those bonus points later to sure up a stat.

All classes from 90% of mmo are all cookie cutter. Only Rift, Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies and a few others would let you have a unique character.

All people I know will cancel sub if stat point customization is not removed. Also, you could always zoom out camera instead of allocating the points. Worked for me.

Why would people cancel their sub over something they see as irrelevant not being removed? What's the big deal? Set your stat points once, and forget about it. It's not even worth the work required to remove it. If such a tiny, miniscule issue makes someone want to quit, then they were already going to quit anyway.
