I'm really fond of the "idea" behind the stat system and skill / armoury system. But it didn't really work out the way I imagined it would. I'm glad you and others are addressing these issue's. I'm personally not that attached to the level part of the game, and assuming they fix the attribute system, people would be way over powered at lower levels with a physical level 50 background. Your idea seems solid. I just hope that SE implements it soon. I'm really enjoying ffxiv right now and am very psyched about future updates. I like growing with a game.
