Kind of agree with that. Also agree that the present buffs are too crude.
Would you like to spawn your first character in w10 with 100 in each attribute? Or perhaps a full set of top-end gear for good measure, and a base already built for you? Progress feels meaningless if you didn't actually earn it yourself. As such, I can very much understand not wanting to receive random buffs for no reason.
I personally think the bonus limit (max bonus equal to base stats) is sufficient to still make it feel like you're progressing through your own actions, but I can sort of understand not everyone wanting this progress boost for no reason.
