I don't mind having a point allotment that players can control so that they can be individual (to some extent) as to how they "build" their character.

However, they need to fix the current system so that points allotted actually work.. Aside from VIT raising your HP and MND increasing your MP pool the other stats are pretty broken right now. On my THM i have 17 DEX and can still hit mobs at the same rate as a MRD or LNC in party with 100+ DEX. Some stat allocations appear to have a diminishing return on points over 90 (I've read this a few times over the forums), meaning it is pointless at this time putting points in most stats past this level.
