Unfortunately the stats in this game is extremly boring. I bet even players new to mmos agree when they get up to higher levels and realise that new weapons only make you deal bigger numbers and nothing else.

I stopped caring about stats a long time ago and only got the gear I liked to glamour.
An mmo should have interesting stats for end game items imo. And this is the biggest flaw with this game in my opinion (okay the slow paced combat is probably the worst)
