yeah test the shit on one "test"(min/max my toon)server , and later make a pwn toon on real one...thats your actual idea right? This is all you folks care bout ...your benefit.
Quite obviously you've never been an active tester before. I've helped with player testing on multiple games. You can't tell if shiet is outta control unless you can test both the high and the low values for things, and see if the scaling is accurate inbetween. FYI my toon is 47 STR(3 pts statloss), 50 Fort and 50 Agi. Maybe get a clue about someone before you start saying shiet about them. I have no desire to "make a pwn toon" as you so moronically put it. Dont start posting about the objectives of people you know nothing about.

specialy this is sad imo
Well that is you opinion and you're welcome to it. If there is not going to be an easier stat reset option other then let your stuff decay then macro bricks for weeks to raise str or whatever stat you are working on, and a skill cap down the line with no easier way to respec skills that doesn't take weeks than its entirely valid IMO to let players try and TEST stuff out on a TEST SERVER so they don't get stuck into something they cant enjoy cause they messed up their build. This is more about down the line when addition skills are added and players are actually forced to make tough decisions on what skills they want and what they will have to skip on cause of the softcap.
