That is just plane ole stupid. Its an easy fix for them fortunately. What they should have done is made 100 the soft cap, and then put a hard cap of 125 or 150. Which would make items and buffs useful in the end game still.

I think part of the problem is, there is no end game. The end game is really just Village/City capture the flag, whatever PvP you can find, and grinding more resources/regs/items by exploiting a broken PvE system.

Don't make me have'ta Troll ya Bro!
