    Please give us option to reasign watch points

    Just simple option to reset single stat just like in skill tree Respec Element. You can even charge me with credits, gladly will pay.

    As much as I'd like that myself, it would mean people could switch back and forth to match their current build. Making players' lives easier is anathema here.

    Also, they were saying they would upgrade the barber to allow people to change their characters' appearances. They already even have the whole UI and mechanics for that from the character creation. That was back when I stopped playing the first time, when they first added an item exclusively to the DZ, breaking their own word, and screwed up everyone's farming by "reworking" talents. I wonder if they just count on people having forgotten that by now. Point being, even if they said they would do it, I'd just keep on keeping on as if they had said nothing.

    We all know anything that makes the game “easier” won’t be done. After all the game isn’t meant for players it is meant to make money.

    Would be nice to be able to change watch levels for different build types but I highly doubt they will do this for the players. Just like how they are nerfing most popular items again when you need those items due to the drastic imbalance in the game. It is sad when you have to beat the devs and beat the game at the same time.

    This. And just let us pick the category for each point instead of the rotation thingy.

    Don't you end up filling all those slots in the end?

    Then no one would ever pick the option that apparently has the watch defecate crafting materials on your hand, and you wouldn't be forced to waste 1/5th of your leveling.

    Yes, but for those of us who aren't watch level 999, it'd be a nice feature.

    I think this is the most likely explanation, given that any potential advantages of deviating from the default would diminish over time.

    I suspect that this is a cheating countermeasure; not in the sense that weighted distribution is cheating, rather, that forcing balanced distribution across all players controls that variable and subsequently makes it easier to identify outliers (cheaters).

    On a positive note, given an unavailable alternative, I'm thankful that I haven't had to farm East Mall lately for polycarb.

    I'm going to say no, simply because I'm sure there'd be some highly game impacting glitch brought about as a result of such an option being added. If the game was more stable....like alot, then I'd say yes.

    You make a good point. They might bungle the fix/add/patch to reassign watch points and end up creating something like the DPS bug, which could lead to a second ban wave, more controversy, smaller playerbase.. no we don't want that LOL.
