No one will be unique and nothing will be a challenge anymore.

Wai...hu...wha.....what? Your saying we wouldn't be unique? Compared to what? You mean compared to a system in which every class is locked into the EXACT statistic clone of every other player in that class, also known as the current system?

You're not an exact static clone with very light allotment and if you work to get triple melded or more Materia on gear. Also, you're assuming with totally free allotment that people will be making all different types of builds. Trust me, they won't be. Also, with the way the formulas work, the end all be all gear at that moment will be even more limited since you will already have the ability to push your STR against or over high VIT mobs such as Ifrit.

What this will then do is make fights like that only about stacking attack. Even more linear than before. Also, not only that, with full freedom to allot everyone will be capable of 3 minute Ifrit runs. Last I checked, it was labeled "(hard)". In order to make fights like these hard again, you'll have to go back to overly complicated formulas that will require even more balancing.

Very light allotment is the way to go.
