800 is to high would throw off the game completly

Even when I used to play the first time around you could make a great warrior (gming many skills anat, tact, melee, and parrying. Healing took a little longer and gming resist could be a little bit of a pain) in a day or two of playing by see-sawing and bone-knights or sparring (don't know if see-sawing is around, I know it changed at least for a little so people couldn't do it, at least not as easily).

I can understand how its frustrating, I don't think the stat cap reduces anyone elses play except your own. I don't mind having the stat cap as it is now, I have 7 full soul stones.

I think I prefer soulstones anyway (compared to an increased skill cap). They're much more flexible, with the ability to customize any character on your account by swapping out skills.

Soulstones saved me a whole lot of time it's like having ready made skills at yur desposal
