It seems like if you use an autoset from the beginning (or at least use
autoset to get an idea of where stats should be), then you'll have a lot
fewer headaches later. If you end up with a world where equipment stats have
no relationship to their level, difficulty in finding, or usability, you'll
end up retouching half the world by hand to get balance.
The really important thing is getting equipment and mobs standardized; later,
the battle system can be tweaked with play testing to accomodate those
numbers.
