shinobichocobo: Dont get me wrong, I love Aion and will be playing it exhaustively (over WoW even, the content of which im kinda tired of), but it is very limited as far as skill/playstyle customization goes, when you compare it to games like LotRO and WoW. you talk about getting new attacks and spells, etc with Stigma, but thats exactly what WoW's talent tree does, only instead of being limited by 8 Stigma slots, you have 3 trees to choose talents from and effectively each class has 3 very different ways to play.

Stigma system is young, theres some promise there, but its nowhere near the polish of WoW's system, even if it is trying to merge the talent and inscription systems into one.
