Also, what about a situation where the ability really doesn't line up with the RP at all. . .Let's say that I planned on putting my experience into metal binding. It's understandable, right? I mean metal binding is a kick ass technique. But where did that experience come from? As I understand, it could have come from anywhere and my character magically now knows a high level ability. I personally liked the training for specific things / earning staff approval thing.

My two cents.

So you think entering a saga and just getting whatever you get makes more sense?

If you want to RP training for Metal Binding, then go RP training for Metal Binding. You're given the freedom to RP training for any ability you want at any time. Yeah, sure, some people may ignore that and just suddenly gain an ability, but that's hardly different from the way it is now.

Your SSJ2 comment is addressed in a fewways. First, there is no SSJ2, and there won't be one for a while. The way powerups are structured right now, people may not even want to get Super Saiyan: all races have multiple powerups at their disposal. And, if you're saving up all that time for SSJ2, that means you're not spending the points on any of your stats. The base for your SSJ2 would be so low, that you could very well be below people with SSJ1. Its a self-balancing system.

Earning staff approval will still have a place on Chubbs in the form of Sensei. By training with a Sensei, a player can learn an ability at a significantly reduced cost, but they have to meet the approval of the Sensei (staff) before they get the discount.
