[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 5873469, member: 6689464"] However having pregen-only stuff detracts from customization, what happens if I have this concept in my head that would really be complete with a certain element -like a pet from a ranger theme, but it happens that it is a ranger theme exclusive thing that also involves naturey and archery stuff, but my character concept calls for a streetwise and lightweapony theme instead, now I'm unable to play the concept in my head because the designers though nobody else would want the pet without the archery and nature stuff, while someone else wanting the ranger theme without the pet could just go with a custom theme with the archery and nature stuff and certain feature that just happens to have an unforeseen sinergy with that and now is broken as hell. Min/maxers will always be an issue for as long as there is customizability, trying too hard to stop them just detracts from everybody else's experience. Nothing will stop the most dedicated min/maxers out there short of shuting down all options to customize at all. [/QUOTE]
