Extremely Important

[Belle Hibiki]

And you don't think them getting to keep their abilities is a reward enough for their time?

Hell, those things are more a reflection of actual performance than powerlevel is, as they are given out as a reward for writing quality in sagas and such. They still get to keep those (last time I checked), so isn't that enough? It's not like they're getting nothing.

Aqua: 18 was pointing out that writing supposedly does matter for powerlevel, as she now exceeds MK, who she was below in the beginning. Of course, I think her surpassing him has more to do with the fact that he was deactivated for the longest time and never got TP. If he had bothered to keep up with bi-monthly posts, I'd be willing to put dimes to dollars that the gap would still be quite significant.
