It gives a potentially infinite progression system where players are always able to "re-cert" into their ideal play style, but they have to earn those certifications by playing.

Me three. There are fanbois out there who will blow massive gobs of dough -- at least as much as they spend on renting game modules for their Wii -- to be the best at everything faster than everybody else. It won't be years until they max out; it will be a few MONTHS. And there will be plenty of them.

There needs to be a hard cap, and there needs to be some sort of mechanism whereby they can surrender certs and pick up others.
