Wow.

Nice thread, highlighting/tackling one of the single biggest problems of FC/OC VS Battles wiki since its inception (well, the other was Goku/Superman clone characters, which are thankfully lesser nowadays).

Agree with this thread a LOT. I honestly have no idea why people feel this inexplicable need to create horrendously powerful characters, with a rubbish story.

Plot, character development, themes are far more important for a narrative, instead of "winning VS fights" against other characters. Heck, it's far more interesting to see regular Tier 7/8/9 characters duke it out instead of two Tier 1 characters, a fight which ALWAYS has one of two conclusions: (1) God-stomp (2) Inconclusive; -__-

Another good point made in this thread is the MORONIC key system. Sure, characters have differing levels of power throughout the story (maybe a couple of tiers), but if a character's key has enough versions to put combined keys of extremely long-running characters like Goku and Naruto to shame, something's going terribly wrong.

I cannot stress this enough: '''Tiers are NOT akin to transformations. Transformations which boost more than a couple of Tiers is generally lazy or terrible writing.'''

In any case, I am glad this problem is finally being addressed. Hope to see strong action by both the staff and the community, in order to improve quality of this wiki.
