We in no way implied or guaranteed that everyone would get great stats easily, nor are achieving and rolling great stats much easier than in S3. What we pretty much guarantee is that a player will always have playable stats through the use of a tri token.
If a player feels that they need great stats to play this game, then they themselves are putting themselves into a spot where they will need to collect hex and drachma tokens until they have enough take a chance. The chance is small however, since they can simply roll 5 tri tokens afterwords and get what we feel are good enough stats to play the game competitively until they collect more tokens.
There are plenty of more hex tokens zoned ingame then s3 and their are at least ten more entries in the random zonings list for them, so while they may appear to be less accessible, there are definitely more of them out there.
If I take Thraxas as an example, the mud has not even been up for 2 months and his character possesses the stats of
ORG: Str[13], Int[17], Wis[17], Dex[16], Con[17]
If I go by the majority of reactions ingame, our changes to rerolls are working...
Good stats are more easily achieved on this version of sloth, what most of us deem as reroll hell should be, for the most part, removed also.
Atleast I think so and I hope plenty of other people do.
Btw, the octagonal token is 4 drachma, Im not sure why it went back to 5.
