User blog comment:Alyssa5582/What Constitutes OP?/@comment-24280582-20150920145931

I feel like I want to comment with something, but I don't actually know what to say and my brain is just scrambled in general lately and I can't actually form any coherent thoughts xD

Firstly, thank you for making this post, Alyss *bows down in worship* :D


 * Personally, I feel like people don't have a problem with a character being 'powered', it's when they start to stack multiple powers that they become 'over-powered. I'm not sure, but I think that's a big part of the issue?
 * I also kind of feel like people get annoyed when one person has more than one character that's on the edge of becoming over-powered, and then it creates one user who is kind of over-powered themselves, sort of? Like, if you've got a number of characters with high up positions, a couple with special abilities and so on, then you start to feel like you've got more power than the average user. I know we have limits on the number of races one person can have...but this is kind of different, I don't know.
 * I also agree with what Bond said where it isn't exactly a sorting thing sometimes, because some forms of power come later in life, which makes it difficult to maintain and limit. I don't know the solution to that.
 * In a way I feel like intelligence also can make a character over-powered? I don't know, but I know that (myself included maybe) often like to think of their character as 'the smartest in the year' as part of their personality, but not every character can be the smartest.

I don't know what else I was going to say...I'm sure I've missed loads of things. Sorry I'm not much help at all xD
