You raise a whole bunch of excellent points. We (the GMs) have already been looking into this matter but have yet to come up with a solution that'd won't end up with redoing everyone's stats or causing more difficulties for people. Short of redoing most of the stat system, I'm sorry to say that I'm at a loss as to how this can be fixed. 

Do none of you use skype? </3 Because making a skype group and discussing this would go so much faster.

Edit: the 1/1000 is a place holder number.
