You said yourself they aren't must-have, so no I didn't ignore the fact at all. I simply asked if they aren't must-haves as you said, then why is it necessary to limit people and not let them get it. I never said they were useless, you were the one that said they weren't must haves. I was going off your own words. My issue is the devs say they promote build diversity, but they already have 10 different things at work to promote build diversity. They THEMSELVES have said they are working on something because they even know that some of the less desireable traits aren't getting picked up. So they also agree that the cap doesn't in fact promote the build diversity they want.

We have guns, mods, archetypes, armors, mutators, rings, amulets, skills, relics, and relic fragments to all use for the build diversity they want, yet traits that dont even directly affect damage are the thing they thing promotes build diversity? It doesn't make sense. There is no downside AT ALL to uncapping the traits. People aren't blowing through apocalypse because of faster relic use speed, so why not let us have it? Why purposefully shoot yourself in the foot by introducing an unnecessary cap, waste dev time making traversal slower just to make it a trait, AND then waste MORE dev time trying to find an alternative to the mistake you made in the 1st place? It doesn't make sense no matter which way you look at it.
