Lol.. I had to say something, In the end our choice between having anything staying or not, really doesn't matter. It's the admins choice to choose alright lets keep them or alright lets get rid of them and set new rules. Let's just stop arguing about this and let the admins decide.
Me personally, I am not trying to tell the admins what to do, or not to do. I'm giving my opinion, and everyone else is giving theirs. The only reason we do this is so the admins know what we think. If we were to let the admins decide by themselves, what was the point of this thread?
Putting a cap on certain skills, to me, would make the having good stats, a stale topic. That also means there is no point in making mctop in a certain skill. Without high skills, how is anyone going to be remembered as the guy who had the highest axes, swords, unarmed etc.?
Resetting the stats is a temporary solution to a problem that will reoccur.
Limiting the skill cap will make hardcore pvp'ers lose interest in getting mctop.
There is no true balance when it comes to this. There are people for and against this. The only way the admins are going to make everyone happy, is if they compromise to the fullest extent of their power.
If don't give stat grinders, an incentive to grind, they won't grind anymore. Their incentive to keep grinding, is the reset stats.
Donut, one more thing, im not to sure there is 'skill' in clicking your left/right mouse button, and moving your mouse a few times. But i do see your level cap coming into great use. It would make the elite battles equal, and some gym battles equal. I like where you're going with that thought, but if we are talking about pure pvp, as in outside of gyms and elite battles. I don't think this would work in it's entirety.
