What they should do is instead of nerfing pirates, which would make a copious amount of people unhappy, they should simply and something for us to use those skill points on. I mean what is the point of using an overpowered skill point in something you could kill with a Rusty Cutlass? I think we should keep our skill points, I just want something worthy to spend then on...

Its as I've said before, when they added level 15 weapons like the Stiletto and fine cutlass weapons went way over the heads of our enemies. It wasn't much of a challenge when using the level 10 cutlass as a level 40, but thanks to the addition of these weapons things became way out of whack. They don't need to entirely adjust the power of the weapons, but it is the power of the combos. The amount of power you get from Rank 5 moves should be the power of these moves at Rank 8. They should be weapon bonuses. I believe this to be so because when certain weapons with +3 to a combo can at times add 200 points of damage or more. Simply put, if they are going to do that, keep it reasonable. I once had a person using a broadsword and only hitting me with a single combo move, but still beating me thanks to a combo bonus.
