Auriga (atys)
The devs coded it on purpose, AFAIK. Yes, there's a bug, It's in the client that doesn't show the correct values while doing PvP.Only that this bug is known by GMs / Devs doesn`t make it a secret Ryzom feature, what kind of ridiculous argumentation is that.
The server bypasses the values that are shown as maximum in the client, this actually is a bug, was a bug and will always be a bug, no matter if it`s known or how you want to call it. ... get serious
There are many other cases where the correct values don't show up in the client, some that i consider more important than the jewel resists. But YMMV, ofc.
Regarding your (only?) argument that my argument is ridiculous, i find it ridiculous :-D
Have fun,
Nuno
