I have a small concern I would like to address. It's actually been a long time coming, but I was waiting to see if there would be any changes and well... there wasn't, so I thought it should be brought up.
First and foremost, I would like to state that I appreciate everything you mods do for us. Luceti is a huge game, and there's a lot of things that come up, and you guys handle it to the best of your ability as far as I've seen. You can't make everyone happy, that's for sure, but you seem to do your best to be fair about it. So I thank you for that.
That said, I have some issues with the way the draft lists are handled. I understand the way it's done - we muns sign our characters up and when draft time comes along, you go in order down the list, clearing it out once a draft is over. First come, first serve, which is fine.
And yet, each time a new draft list comes out, I always seem to be seeing a lot of the same names over and over. Yuber, Kain, Rydia, Nu, Ceasar, Buffy, Shadow, Vincent. There may be more, but the fact that I can recognize that many off of the bat bothers me.
Again, I know how the draft works. Once it's done, we can sign up again, which in this case is both a win and a lost here. I like that our characters can have the opportunity to fight more than once, but I think some people are taking advantage of that. Once the draft list is cleared, they can sign right up again (and they obviously do) and then once again they're at the top of the list for next time. Meanwhile, people who have to wait until their characters are accepted to sign up end up being last in line. At the rate the drafts have been coming, it can be months before their turn finally arrives. Seeing as the draft is one of the biggest plot points the game has to offer, if you're the one sitting out, it can be hard to feel as if your character is involved in the game.
While I understand the ratio between the people who've gone before to the newbies is relatively small, there's a big difference when you consider that the people who're always going tend to be given more opportunity to contribute to the plot. Luceti has a wide variety of fighters available, so why should these characters have more right over the others to influence it?
If I could offer a suggestion? Maybe a limit could be set on how many times a character can go on a draft in a row. Say two times, and then they have to sit out one, for example. Or alternatively, maybe we could see more roles made/go to characters we haven't come to expect to be the ones that fill them. Give other characters a real chance to shine.
If you have better ideas, I would love to hear them - or just your thoughts on the matter if you don't consider this an issue at all. As I've said, it's been bothering me for some time, and from what I understand I'm not the only one.
