I'm so torn on this topic. People who've known me on staff have known how against custom characters I've been.
Unfortunately, with such a losing interesting in Dragonball Z, Chubbs needs something new to keep interest. People can only write about DBZ characters for so long before losing interest. Custom characters would help stem the tide of people losing interest.
On the other hand, I hate the fact that we're all going to lose our characters. I love Broli. You can just look at my personal storyline to see how dedicated I am to him. If you rip away my character, I'm going to try my hardest to create a character as similar to Broli as I can imagine. I really don't see any reason why to take away our characters. Sure, some get passed around a lot, but how is that any reason for people who love their character and who have put a lot of time molding that character?
As for the power gap, don't you think there may be a better way to create a dynamic system that helps people catch up to super powers than to just wipe clean the entire slate? You're essentially saying that people who've been here for five years will be on the same level as people who've been here for five months. What about everything earned in those five years? How can you just take all of that away?
By the way, would the new system be like the VS system?
