IMHO there should be no special dispensation for dumbasses. Some of the above arguments pretty much equate to:

"We need to have meaningless stats so morons can't gimp their characters".

If you are presented adequate information about stats (in EQ this certainly wasn't the case), then anyone should be able to make an informed decision about stats allocation and equipment choices. God forbid the game actually require strategy or thought...

Meaningless stats was one of the gay things about EQ. That combined with caps makes every character the same beyond a certain point.

However, if the game has a fairly deep skill tree, that is a different story. Some form of "respec" is in order to change your skill specialization. It should be a bit of a hassle to do though, since respeccing every 10 mins would be pretty ridiculous.
