Race/Stat attributes

[Shougun]

I'm fine with race/clan stats as long as it doesn't reach the degree it did in XI. Often people were pigeonholed into racial roles because of the inherent statistic benefit. But like it has been stated, it's looking like ARR will have them be fairly minor; though I wonder what the purpose of adding them to begin is when they become irrelevant in the scheme of things.

Nod to immersion without causing limited gameplay.

Just gets rid of the idea that there is a growth rate difference. So the haply passed phrase "try hard enough and you can do anything" is preserved but the negative idea that someone could always do it better in comparison is lessened (like on average men for strength and women for flexibility - if both practiced at the same rate).
