I have some serious issues with the way GS treats post-cap advancement.

1) You get one crappy PTP and one MTP every 2500 experience. This is pretty pathetic. It takes my post cap Empath forever to accumulate enough
MTPs for one lousy extra spell rank. Whee! One extra CS point after weeks of play! Such power!!

2) You get 1 MTP and 1 PTP every 2500 experience, REGARDLESS of your stats. It doesn't matter if you are a warrior who placed his stats to emphasize
getting PTPs, or a wizard who wanted more MTPs. You are post cap? Tough nuggies, stats be damned, you get one of each every 2500 experience. Period.

My capped folks so far are all spell casters. I have a level 98 rogue who I am currently working on. I'll see how her post cap training goes. If it sucks also,
I'm going to downgrade to prime, and retire everyone except one character ... probably my empath ... and just log in periodically to say hi to friends and read the forums.

It was hinted out during simucon that there is going to be a post cap prestige system to earn points to get character attuned abilities that you normally can't. We are told to expect more info this year.

Wyrom says, "Ordim is the reason savants won't be coded as well."

You're talking about coding an entirely new system, which could take years. I suggest that they could simply modify the post cap experience gain to
something resembling that at level 99. When a character hits level 100, keep the stat influence on TP generation the same, and modify the experience:TP
generation ratio to be just a bit higher than at level 99.
