Money is worth less over time because the total supply increases and your share decreases, both in real life and in-game. Stats become worth less over time as everyone else gains stats, so that relatively you become weaker. There's a big difference between the first to 100 and getting to 100 years later, and there's a difference between having stats *now* instead of in the future.

What you are talking about is relative to much larger and complex economics than this, and the basis of value is demand. Getting better stats is always in demand, so your reasoning is bunk.

Unless dev points get switched out for something else, and endurance becomes useless, Endurance will always be the better buy.

I'll try to explain this more simply: stats only matter in relation to other people's stats. Whether by bragging about your rank or beating up other players, only the relative value of your stats matter - the absolute number is meaningless.

Edit: and the basis of value is supply and demand. Base inflation happens primarily because the supply of currency (both cash and stats) increases, as it does constantly and steeply here (and most online economies).

how did you not understand this?

if you can afford the trainer, go for it.. I dont personally, since i do not have the appropriate amount of endurance to equip my final upgrade, which is something i would like to do if i have the battle stats for, i've had the stats for the 20 endo long blade for months but still short on the endurance...
