Ah, the good ol' "everyone else is wrong and I'm right" argument. Surprised it took this long to surface.

I rarely post but when something as ridiculous as 'starting stats don't matter' becomes a theme someone has to speak up for reality.

The only people who believe that starting stats don't matter are those who have accumulated enough money to get to soft caps at level 1 with twinked gear and don't remember what it's like to actually be new, or those who don't understand the game mechanics and think that stats don't matter because they can't 'see' the difference because they're ignorant and don't use parsing tools.

If you want to be a realist and make comparisons to other games, then you could say that stats are less impactful in Everquest and you would be correct.

If you want to be a realist and judge whether it's actually worth it for this guy to re-roll at level 25 after going all STR as a Dwarf Rogue then that would be a fair argument on both ends.


But saying 'starting stats don't matter', or matter very little, is completely false.
