well, I'm not going to get very in-depth with this, as I haven't really researched it enough, but in my opinion you're right. The change in damage with license is noticeable for sure, BUT in the end it doesnt do much - at most you will kill the enemy in 1 hit less, or so.
an example of this would be a friend of mine who has a lv40 weapon with a fully completed orc license on it. That means 80% extra damage as said by the license on the weapon. Well, when we were hunting orcs the other day, we got into comparing our damage. We are both fighters. My weapon does NOT have orc license. When fatal slash hits (defense decrease on mob) and he crits with power hit, it will do around 1600+ dmg. My damage with the same scenario would be around 1100-1200. Now, factor in also that his build has more strength than mine, and that his level was 58, and mine 47. That's not a BIG huge difference in damage considering the facts there.
on the other hand, as a crit-enthusiast, I find licenses fully worth it because of the critical bonus you get in the later levels. it is tasty. This is the reason I use licenses, not the extra dmg versus one mob.
