What most people don't want to admit is there are two types of completely different Haven players the pvp-ers and the farmvillers.
The pvp-ers view quality as a tool to be stronger than those they raid but even if everyone had equal stats they'd still gang up multiple people to one, carry more water and generally find every little bit of advantage possible to best their adversaries.
The farmvillers of which there are subtypes either play to see numbers go up or to decorate their larp realm.
Decorating larpers just quit or significantly reduce activity once they larp target is achieved.
If stat caps were implemented farmvillers will quit because numbers no go up.
If farmvillers quit then pvp-ers quit cause there's nobody left to raid.
This dream of getting more pvp-ers is just stupid. There are many many games with better pvp than haven.
The solution to the problem stat caps is trying to solve is of course pve servers and ingame moderation, but jorb preffers to be poor so we won't get them oh well.
