So what are you saying, Fro? The characters like it, lets screw it?
You're assuming that players pick the point system because it allows them
to make more powerful characters. What you aren't thinking about is that
perhaps more it's being chosen because it allows them to make _better_
characters. Ones that are more well rounded and who fit their concepts
better. Just because something is popular doesn't mean that it's broken or
to powerful. And it shouldn't be weakened because it's good and it works.
What's next, equal time for the priority system marches? :)
