I've tried set ups with lots of STR and DEX and some with much less (around 40 less) and I noticed no difference in my damage or accuracy. STAT+ gear and food are also rather pointless with the exception of HP+, which makes crafts like Goldsmithing and Cooking rather worthless.

No, no, no.


My big gripe with most MMOs is the atrociously small amount of customization they give you. Being able to assign stat points is one of the best part about character design in this game. The only thing that needs to be done is balancing the effectiveness of adding points to stats other than vit, and adding a once per week or so full stat reset. I would rather have a marginally less effective character of my own design than to have a preallocated set shoved down my throat in the name of balance.
