Because BABs said "imagine if we changed Build Up from a +ToHit, +Damage power to a power that built a small cottage at your location."

Thank you.
Although, I'd still take that power.

Instead of +tohit and +dam it acts as cover and gives a +regen and +def (all) bonus. |

I believe it was Castle who made the statement, actually, since he's the Powers guy while BAB is the Animation guy.
Now, BAB did make the Fairy Laugh rule.

We could not find the original post, but here is a recent post by Castle.

Basically, the Fairy Laugh rule is the same as the Cottage Rule, except for graphics instead of mechanics.|

BAB made a point of saying everything will have fans for it. His example was how some people would complain that a fairy's laugh should be more bubbly, not tinkly and what not and that it should be changed. Naturally, the people who liked how it was would rally against change.
Long story short: The Devs are leery of changing ANYTHING unless there's a damn good reason.

"The Pastry Elves' laugh should be less bubbly and more tinkly. Our giggle should remind you of gazing at the stars as a child, and our smile should make you think of the taste of honey on a cool spring morning."
I wish I could remember one of the other BAB quotes- something like "I want to change the Martial Arts assassin's strike but I know I'll get an angry PM from someone named Horse Stance Groinpuncher about how I destroyed their character concept."

So you think you're a hero, huh.

With the recent addition of alternate animations Dr. Groinpuncher could keep his Nutshot of Doom while others use a different animation. Power customization is one of the better post-launch additions.
i wonder if it's possible to have alternate animations use alternate sounds?

I understand what "The Cottage Rule" means*, but where did the name come from?
What does it have to do with Cottages?
*My explaination of the rule: They won't completely change the effects of a power away from one function from another. Lest it break existing characters.
Example: Instead of yanking the redundant Conserve Power from Electric Armor Brutes in favor of a straight Self-Heal that was heavily requested, they replaced it with Energize, which is still an Endurance tool, but also has a Healing component.
