== WPS merchant service update ==

Some thoughts on updating the article after the service update: I think it would be clearer to have two tables, one for the point-to-assess-description under a Mechanics section, and one for points-to-services under a Merchant Services section. The article needs to make it very obvious to someone reading about padding/weighting for the first time that the combat mechanics and service points are completely separate things. (It's also a very confusing table at the moment because there's no explanation of what service points are, whether the values are per-step or cumulative, whether it's possible to service items that have a negative rating, and many other questions that have been asked in the official thread.)

The resistances offered by 620 aren't exactly 'padding'. Also, this page needs some work on its layout. - Andy talk 17:18, 18 May 2007 (EDT)

Really not sure why it took so long to remove this section. VANKRASN39 (talk) 06:38, 24 June 2015 (CDT)

The padding/weighting numbers are finally accurate. GS4-WYROM (talk) 13:34, 10 February 2016 (CST)

The article needs to make it very obvious to someone reading about padding/weighting for the first time that the combat mechanics and service points are completely separate things.
