To point, I've always HATED the notion of promoting teaming by castrating characters in some specific field. Yes, it's a valid tactic, but it works off a base I REALLY hate. It's based on the old MMO notion that players suck and player characters are wimps, and the only way to defeat the truly interesting foes is to band together and out-and-out bum-rush them to death. Carried over to our universe, our heroes are weak, and weaker still in specific ways, such that they need both allies and allies of a specific type.

I don't like that. Why is the belief that if people don't HAVE to team, they WILL not team so prevalent? Remember the old arcades that came with two joysticks per cabinet? All the characters in there were strong in their own right, yet people still played them together. Even the big machines that came with three or even four joysticks (say, Knights of the Round and Sunset Riders, respectively). Why is it such a no-no to let people be proficient in their own powers without having a crippling weakness by missing something they're really going to need?

For my money, the most fun teams I've ever been on have been the ones where everyone can take care of himself to a large degree. Teams where I can trust and rely on ALL of my team-mates to be strong and tough and not needing to be looked after all the time. Teams where we look at each other, smile and say "Let's do this!" No roles, no complicated plans, no character with great offence who needs to be guarded by a character with next to no offence.

Every time I can spot balance as the SOLE reason for a crippling weakness, it bugs me. There are plenty of ways to promote teaming and create an interesting team dynamic WITHOUT having to cut the legs from under all the people present. Even on a team of all Scrappers, for instance, damage types and powerset design can make things interesting just by themselves, and that's stuff that's already in the game.

I sincerely hope that MMOs will break out of this mould one of these days.
