that makes no sense, the person training more should be better!

yes, I agree with that sentiment. however this is not what we're talking about here. we are talking about a couple things, 1st off is when a player can train less, and have higher stats. obviously this is gonna happen but the degree to which it is happening now is absolutely off the charts. 2nd, should level affect battle capability. The obvious answer is yes, people spend time and/or money increasing their level and it should show in their combat abilities, just like it used to. Just like higher stats mean better combat ability, higher level should as well. the degree to which the hp difference affects battles these days is almost non-existent.
