Probably unnecessary, yeah, but it's irritating to have these threads constantly interrupted with "whatever you do it won't matter, you guys just need to roleplay". It's patronising, unproductive, and reductionistic.
The thing is, the changes in the systems ultimately haven't been that huge. The main problem has stayed the same. People were active at the start, when powerlevels were close, then within a few months it was as imbalanced as it's always been. It's why, when this current system was being suggested, I pushed for diminishing returns or something. We could have implemented a better system then, but many people didn't think it would become a problem. Now, it's generally accepted that it IS a problem. So the logical thing to do is to remove the problem. It's not some neverending, pointless cycle, it's an iterative process that's slowly improved the system. It's just taken way longer to get to this point than any of us would like.
