I'm actually looking forward to this update. It'll be nice to have more slots open. Attributes, combat skills, and magic skills will be nice. The "Other" Category... meh. I can get another 1% Crit hit rate/-1% Spell interrupt rate. It's not so vital.
Will be nice to add to my Summoning Magic, since I already had mine taken up my Elemental and Blue Magic. xD

You're an idiot, straight up.
You'd probably complain if someone offered you free candy and money.

I'm not sure why people are even complaining in the first place!
It's a bonus. *Bonus*. You'll never lose anything, you'll only get better with these minor adjustments.
Again, it's a *bonus*.
People complain for the dumbest things, I swear >_>
Would you enjoy it better if it was a nerf? >___>
Agreed. +1.

Much welcome changes.
Yay something to spend merit points on
I wouldn't mind 15 merits. Or even 30. I just hated the kendred crest part.
lmao rowland ^^

You know as soon as they add these merits and people spend all they have to upgrade, suddenly there's a new limit break and you need 15 merits to get level 95. Then you say "***, I just spent all my merits, now I have to get an abyssea party just to get merits again."
And then you die a little inside.
And then you die a little inside.
After putting in new merits, we'll all be sitting at 20/20 merits again before we know it.
As an example, my RDM hit 90 about 5-6 days ago. It's already fully merited, and I didn't need to join any exp alliances, either. We all gain an absurd about of exp in Abyssea just by farming lights, chests, and NMs. I never really noticed it until a few days ago since I sat at 20/20 for so long.

I have 2 or 3 stacks myself. Think even 1 or 2 stacks of high kindred crests too. I don't see it going over that. I certainly hope not. I do toss them when my inv is full of ??? pop items. :(
Ah finally, wake up to something nice from SE for once!

Honestly, I think post 99 we will see a revamp of merits.
To keep people exping a little longer. I would think they would just fully unlock merits at that point. 2 major updates post the 99 cap is what I think.
Max out every merit no holding back.
Just no point in doing eminty + and - unless you can toggle which one.

This felt wrong, until I noticed you have Aegis/Excal/Apoc. Then it all made sense =(
Meh, I've long since gotten over the fact that emp weapons are 2 or 3 times better than relics and take a fraction of the time to complete.
[+]
Woo! More hp/mp to stack, 3 more STR for my jobs, another weapon to max (GS, Dagger/Sword maybe), defensive skill to max (evasion prolly), another magic skill to max (prolly Summoning or Dark), and one more crit % and spell interrupt. It's WIN/WIN!

They honestly should just remove all caps on merits and let you literally merit everything.
It'll get there eventually, why not just do it now.

If they did this, the Epeens couldn't tell you what to merit. This will make some people :( and might cause and AH economical crisis for a week.
Doesn't matter, still going AGi 8/8 and now I can merit parry and dagger fully.

How would removing the caps on merits cause an AH crisis?
Also, the epeens don't tell me what to merit.

/Stare
Now I can cap 2 more combat skills instead of having those dangling 4 combat merits to piss me off.
That alone makes this good.

...I can...merit my Summoning Magic and finally put in 8/8 Marksmanship Merits (and possibly more)!?

Very good start I'll admit but would like to see them open up combat skills alot more. 32 is nice but its still only 12 points. I woulda rather seen the attributes remain the same and more into combat skills if it meant maintaining "lolbalance"

maybe not directly...
That wasn't a rhetorical question. How exactly would it cause an AH crisis?
The AH is fairly useless as it is except for food/meds/pop items. I was curious as to how it would ruin the AH.

It's not so much a balance thing... the idea behind the merit system is to make your character somewhat different from others in the jobs you enjoy (or just play) most. Opening it up 100% no caps would kinda kill the idea so I honestly don't see that happening.

"oh noooz. We can't tell nubs what to do now. This game sucks. I'm leaving to play WoW. Kbye"
Jk. It was a total joke. Everyone thinks their ***revolves around them. That's all. I can't be told what to merit either.
