I think that things won't be too bad as long as they give us enough leeway to where the points we get to allocate actually DO mean something. I.E. If I want to tank in a light party as a PUG, I'd like to know that allocating more points to VIT will have some kind of effect, or if I want to enfeeble, PIE will do what I want it to do(aside from being delicious and better than cake).

I like the idea that removing physical level will allow stats to actually matter, but I also feel that point allocation is one of the things that differentiate FFXIV from FFXI, and I think it would hurt the game if they eliminated that aspect.
