This is a case where something seems to a player like it must be really easy to add, but the way the code is set up it actually be a large task that would take tech and threaten the schedule.

My point was that until you disclosed the existance of this tech limitation, you gave the definite impression that you've been testing these proposed Melee Power changes and the revisions to them while Melee Power was accruing starting at level 20. To now come back after doing that testing to say there's a tech limitation preventing you from assigning MP at level 20 makes me wonder how you were previously testing with that in place?

In short, what I've come to understand is that you were somehow successfully testing with a component in place that could not be there, and I find that worrisome.

Edit:
It seems to me this limitation should've been discovered prior to the OP being drafted, or at the very latest during the "testing" that accompanied the decision to cut the Destiny/Character level contributions in half. The apparent fact that it was not discovered at or prior to those stages is what I am concerned about, not the limitation it's self.
