So simply put, I want to try to convince people on here why working towards a unbeatable or powerful PvP app is the wrong goal to work toward. And I only bring this up because I do notice people(including myself) put a lot of effort into trying to make a magic or combination of applications powerful in terms of PvP, but doing so also leads to disrespect. Even if they don't brag about it is clearly seen in their apps if one looked, and to be honest that kind of thing kills the inspiration to role play.
So first, why is it bad to work toward a unbeatable PvP app. Well first off, all magic and equipment apps are built with their own strengths and weaknesses. That means that the app should always find a disadvantage, how many times they come to a disadvantage depends on how easily or powerful their strengths are. Now of course we could say that is not how some apps are made on here as their strengths and weaknesses are not always like that or fair, but it happens easily in other things too, like custom lineages.
Custom lineages are the second reason why to become unbeatable in PvP is not good. I will put it bluntly, with a custom lineage you can say your magic cannot be negated or reduced, you can say your character is immortal, you can say that your app's effects ignores other protection(resistances, immunities, armor, and protection). You can even say that you app works regardless of what they say, even if they said that it ignores all effects. The worse part in terms of PvP is that you can have more then just these effects, some custom lineages carry multiple of these powerful traits I have mentioned and more.
But I only bring this up to show how useless it is to be the best in PvP. Even if you say your effects happen no matter what, then all one has to do is put on theirs that they are unaffected no matter what, and then what?. And I would like to bring up one more point, it has been previously noted by even staff the site's PvP system is trash tier as it can be easily abused. So really? Working to be the best in PvP on here is a toxic process that eats at you and annoys all others around you to absolute hell. And I only say this because I have tried to make my magic something I want to rp with on here, but then I see how much better other people's apps are in PvP terms and I work to make it as good. But as I do so, I feel annoyed that my efforts of making a magic I want is rendered so useless by merely a thought and a edit on a app. But then I had to realize that the magic I make, the equipment, the lineage I choose and make, all those things have to be decided by what I want to rp with. And while I do know this now, it took me half a year to think of it and well...it's a hard line to determine when it's something you want and when it's absolute BS in PvP terms. So that brings me to my suggestion.
Below is something I want put in to the rules and guidelines about equipment and magic in one form or another. But the point I want to bring out is that the goal of making apps is to enjoy rping with them, and not as tools to try to boast a superiority among others. Because as I said, PvP is so easy to be the best here, because the system is not meant for it and it's easy to manipulate and achieve.
So yes, my idea is to remind people or tell them when they see the guidelines to make applications with the thought of enjoying your role play experience on here and not based on to beat other people's magics on here. I would like to know if people would think the idea is good or not and have reasons why(or at least answer the poll please), or a word from staff if they would do this or not.

- Spoiler:
The purpose of magic, weapon, armor, pet, and custom lineage applications on the site is to give you as the role player a better time of role playing on here with others. As such, do not come here for a good PvP experience. This is because the guidelines here are meant to give order or structure to making the application, and can still be abused even with grading staff's efforts. So with this in mind, create applications based on what you want as a role player and not to match or be better then others on here. Because truth be told, people do not like role playing with unfair and powerful characters.
So yes, my idea is to remind people or tell them when they see the guidelines to make applications with the thought of enjoying your role play experience on here and not based on to beat other people's magics on here. I would like to know if people would think the idea is good or not and have reasons why(or at least answer the poll please), or a word from staff if they would do this or not.
