Complete resets would also free up how people play a large chunk of the 'early game grind'. You won't have to kill yourself for x CP heavy req skill in the early days or SUFFER for it later. A huge portion of early game for anyone coming from mabi to mabipro, is training CP heavy skills while staying under total 100, even if it takes weeks of off and on play. Even if they can't stand it. For anyone actually new to the game, everyone yells out "Do your WM first!" and then listens to the new player either take that advice and hate the game after a few hours or burn out, or ignore that advice and hate it later.
Yeah, -CP gear is a thing, but that can only help so much once your CP starts going higher. This doesn't replace -cp gear either, just opens up the way for people to repick how they want to play, or not have to care as much about the 'grind' early game and actually enjoy the game.
As someone who played smart from the get go, i got a few things to say.
I did wm, refine, metallurgy, and unlocked trans all before 100. I did most of the quests for demi, but don't think i unlocked it till just after 100. Now, all of this, was done before any custom content was added to the game i believe. We have 2x training which makes things easier at least.
At this point, i know refine's been tweaked some, to require less fails but more successes and we've gained new missions, including tribal missions, as well as dungeons. Take advantage of these. The hobgoblins in the tribal missions have absurdly high cp. They're great for training. Blood In The Water mobs also have moderately high cp.
I still advise wm, refine, and metallurgy asap. Other skills are cp dependent, which can greatly slow your training progress, but at least with the custom content that's been added, you have more opportunities. I do support adding the ability to get resets, but at the same time, a player without dedication and determination isn't going to last long in mabi. Mabi's all about the grind, whether it be for items, for xp, or for skill training. Skill training gets tedious and dull, yes, but it's also a good representation of what you have to look forward to in the game. You'll go to plenty of different areas and see plenty of different mobs, i'm sure, but in the end, the general flow of the game is going to be roughly the same, regardless of what you do when. The main difference will be the pace you set by what you train and when.
