Stats Actually Working

[AlexiaKidd]

I think the problem is with the Physical Level system. As people can have such different ranges of stats they have had to tone down the effectiveness of stats. For example a MRD who focus solely on his stats that he needs would have a huge advantage over someone who balances their stats more evenly, if stats were given there full effect. In order to combat this they reduced stats across the board apart from MND and VIT on Physical as they are tied to your HP and MP so they needed to work a bit.

By toning them down they they have pretty much killed all stats on gear and food making everything pretty much worthless. I know a lot of people like the freedom the physical level system brings but look at what it has cost us. It's a balancing nightmare, hopefully SE will be able to figure it out if not though I would have no problem with it being removed and stats being allocated automatically per class like in FFXI. Then add a Merit Point style system at cap to add a little customisation but not to the extent we have now that can cause these huge gaps.
