Stats being used in skills, for their skill bonus, is one of the least important aspect of stats. Honestly, if anybody set their stats based on what skills they affected, they set bad bad stats. I don't think the complaints have much validity at all.
A well balanced character creation requires the insight in to what you stats that character needs for whatever guild you plan on going in to. Most reasonable players assume, there is virtually no reason for putting a lot of stat points in to a stat that has no benefit for your character's guild. Now what were are being told is we should have guessed this would happen? Thats completely unreasonable to say the complaints have no validity to them.
