That's the greatest game design decision ever. This is almost as good as Steam making paid mods to Skyrim.

    I'll have to find a better image. You're really grasping at air here.
    Accuracy caps do exist for lower level content. (e.g. Stone Vigil NM is likely 269 or 270 acc cap)
    It's just that the lower levels go by so quickly that nobody really cares to research and compile a list.

    Also, because leveling up gives you accuracy, the sample size a single person can feasibly collect is fairly small.

    Missing at lower levels also isn't quite as bad in general than it is at higher levels, in part because (as you said) you get more acc when leveling. Missing alot would of course still be bad, but a few misses isn't going to be a death sentance.

    End game, though, it becomes more important because you only get more from your gear, but at the same time for most content a few misses won't cause a wipe outside of coil (though for all I know a few misses might still be tolerable) and Odin trial.

    Also when it comes to stat caps with acc: If I'm correct its just acc period, regardless of the source. Get a good food choice and you could let go of some acc on your gear and make up for it with food. There is also hitting from the flank which also provides an acc bonus (granted, only really works in fights where you don't want to be stacked on top of each other all the time.) Shive EX has the highest acc check if I remember right for Primal EXs, but unlike Titan strats DPS/OT can flank her and only worry about moving behind to not get hit by her bow. Lets you take out a little acc from your gear.

    Thus it'll be the same when we can level again, acc on gear won't be quite as important till endgame, atleast unless the reworks they are doing that are supposed to make SMN better don't change multiple stats instead of just spell speed as we currently think.

    Also remember that summoners are still required to have melee flank cap because of their pet, and that cannot be made up with food.

    There's also the fact that accuracy requirements go higher and higher as you get to higher content, and so does the accuracy that's provided by gear (maybe). Because of that, you don''t exactly get "more room" to play with stat budgeting, only pray that your upgrades have same accuracy budgeting as your previous one (high acc stat, lower crit/det)
