A 50,000 ilevel character would have an average stat value of 46.666%, with a lot of allocation control, while a new character's stats will average 30%. You never gain stats by removing stuff. It doesn't matter where your stats come from anymore. You just need one column to show the percentage. The percentage wont change when you scale. Mythic companion base stats would equal 2,000 at 100% bolster. Augments might gain +500 in their three stats.
  
  This is a good idea. Put augments at 1k to enhancements i think though. Unfortunately this good idea won't be considered most likely =/. A shame.

  After thinking more on scaling and running numbers... I believe the following would work better and be easier to manage and understand:
  
  
  1. Remove combined ratings from the game. (except for select cases)
  2. Set all default starting stats at a flat 25%.
  3. Each Item Level adds 5 stats or equivalent value.
  4. Scaling upward adds 20% of Item Level differential as combined rating. Scaling downward subtracts 20% of the Item Level difference in combined rating. (50,000 IL scaling to 25,000 IL would lose 5,000 to all ratings)
  
  A 50,000 ilevel character would have an average stat value of about 41.666%, with a lot of allocation control, while a new character's stats will average 25%. You never gain stats by removing stuff. It doesn't matter where your stats come from anymore. You just need one column to show the percentage. The stat percentages barely drop when you scale. There is room to raise the caps to 100%, and room for growth exists up to and exceeding 100,000 IL.
