You cant build a character in a MMO with 999 anything. It would throw off the balance of the entire party. If you were an Archer with 999 STR then one shot and you would pull the mob off the tank and instantly die because your other stats are at base. I like the idea of making your character minimally customized. Like having an amount of points that automatically assign to your character on level, then you have the choice for 3 or 4 points to a stat. Making a more accurate Lancer over a powerful lancer, things like that.
