Okay, the system is antiquated, some players accept a decent roll in 15 minutes others wait for a couple of hours to get a perfect roll. Newbies get burned because they roll by hand and get slightly less than decent stats.
I don't like the system, but I honestly don't see a need for a change. I don't see scores of players leaving CF because it's too hard to roll a character.
What I don't want to see is a coder tackle this project which would likely be at least two to three weeks of coding, testing, and deployment, as well as the mulling over it would require from Team Game-Balance to make sure all the point distributions are fair, when that valuable time could be spent: fixing things that really are broken, designing and coding new areas, coming up with new cabals, creating new races/skills/classes/powers/spells, etc.
It comes down to an issue of priorities. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being absolutely critical to keep the game running, and ten being a nice-to-have if anybody has some spare time to throw at the problem, overhauling the rolling system would be an 11 IMO
