SAs are a trap that new players always seem to fall into.

Would it be possible to block them off for at least the first 2 seasons? Just grey them out until age ___ or level ___

I was ready to say yes... but then I thought of Pee Wee. I'm not a big fan of Pee Wee myself, so maybe someone who is can correct me, but don't they spend points on SAs?

Sometimes. Some positions more so than others.

Apparently I'm losing my mind, but I was 99.9% sure that Bort nerfed peewee SAs into oblivion because everyone was only buying SAs and winning.

However I can't find an official quote/change log/announcement anywhere.

When Bort starts advertising and makes an iOS app, all of the Christmas noobs will go straight for SAs, and old-timers like us will reign supreme at end build.

A) lol that's ngh

B) Yes.

That is not a good thing. The game shouldn't be designed to trick players into being not good on purpose.

VAs are locked behind an age limit. There's no real reason why SAs couldn't be the same. They could be greyed out so players could see them, and know what their archetype does, but be unavailable to waste points in.

Power of choice. I assume VA points were done this way due to the impact they can have. Besides most of the attribute VA's would be worthless until later levels anyway, and most of the VA's have prerequisites which most level 1-10 dots couldn't meet.

What if it was level-capped like your equipment? You can add 1 point to SAs at creation, and another 1 point per 8 levels, to end at the max of 10 just like free EQ? It would at least slow people down from adding too many too early.

Honestly, this whole question highlights the importance of team owners and coordinators taking the time to educate their agents on how to properly build dots. Surprisingly, not all do so.
