i'm just looking for answers here, so please don't take any of this personally.
how can i possibly beat an RPier who has been around since "back in the day" when he posses such incredibly OPed? the only way i see here is by whoring my self out for techniques from other members from "back in the day"
the power gap between the two generations was created because of rules like these, and the way i see it is that this rule will only increase it.
the older members will be forced into dropping their creative and well thought techniques and only keep their OPed tech which usually don't even make any sense.
my suggestion:
a lot of you will hate me for saying this but i will say it anyways; i believe the only solution for all of this is that all approved techs would get reevaluated and be forced either be dropped or to be edited, so that there would be one standard for all techniques regardless of their owner's joining date, this way winning battles can only be achieved through skills and strategy and not through OPed jutsu, and most good RPiers i know rarely ever use OPed jutsu even though they posses them, some of them even dislike the use of CJs.
of course such a large scale move would require a lot of work and might give birth to more petition waiting to be signed, and i really don't RP a lot, as a matter of fact i rarely do any RPing, so if there's any flaw's in my suggestion, please point them out for me
btw, i believe i only posses three CJs which a friend of mine offered me without me asking for them, they are three owl summons or something, i can't really remember lol
