What do you think of the point allotment system?

[Augury]

Don't think people are approaching this thread right, as it's been derailed more times than a train in the 1800s which has the words "We're carrying LOTS of VALUABLE STUFF" on a neon light sign going across the cars.

The reason most people don't play the game anymore is because there is a ridiculous lack of content, there was a ridiculous lack of support, and the game's upgrading system outside of the armory system is fairly linear (not something that is good for MMORPGs), ontop of that the game has 2 currencies rewarded for completing quests, and Gil probably isn't the best substance to build a player economy out of.

All of that crap aside though, and back on topic... Self aligning stats are something which has been argued about since the early days of Dungeons and Dragons (a looooong time ago), and no matter how much it is argued the conclusion is always "we can live with it, or without it". It's easy to get upset about it, but it's also easy to enjoy it, especially if there is a convenient reset button. It isn't really a matter of player freedom or mechanical integrity, just something which works, but having stats auto-aligned works pretty well too.

I, personally am still for it, but I could certainly enjoy the game without it as well.
