I agree with you completely....I have not seen a"cap" so to speak for my
cleric, However many of my meleeist friends, including my In-game Husband
who is a ranger", are losing interest VERY fast in this game their skills
have capped at 200 and they have nothing at all to look forward to. they
are geting bored, people need to see progress, improvement in their
characters.
If they do not raise the skill cap up and the levels in which we can attain,
there are going to be a lot of people leaving for other games. My in game
husband says he has nothing to look forward to anymore, except a few more HP
per level thats it, he will never be a better fighter than he is already and
for me it's sad to hear that.
