You’re not kidding in the slightest. These hidden scaling systems have done nothing but put a stain on an otherwise great game, and it’s nuts that we’re in a state right now where getting stronger actually means getting weaker.

and this is exactly why scaling ruins rpgs.
Reminds me of FF (I think it was 8)? You’d have an easier time nuking things down at level 10 than level 100. That completely killed the urge to want to level in that game.
