its honestly tough for some of them, and i understand what you mean, but if you think about it..
zenith added level 60 items that only 15 people could use at the time, and she put an 80mil house on the market that only one person at a time can afford (maybe 2 or 3 at this point, but i doubt it...)
i also think weapons/armor should have a skill requirement but that hasnt happened a whole lot yet
so why not add perma bonuses for careers??? the earlier they are implemented, the more people will actually go for them instead of spending it all on stats b/c thats all careers are worth at the moment
heck, make the perma bonuses at level 10, idk. its all tweakable, changeable, and its all a concept
