It's unfortunate to see yet another good writer leave :poop: You'll be missed, Gunther.
My two cents to your problems with the Omniverse though:
-Ultimately the Omniverse is an RPG because you roleplay as someone. It's really that simple. RPGs with stats, attacks and the like along the lines of Final Fantasy or other titles of that sort are RPGs too, but a different form.
-In regards to the pricings of powers and proficiencies, I think that they are priced according to the amount of utility they bring. Acrobacies are fancy but they're not going to make your character go from Zero to Hero. Mimic on the other hand gives you an enormous amount of utility because your movepool can become as large as your opponent's.
-I think that the focus on offensive moves and toning down things like Healing is partly balance purposes, and partly to avoid boring stall fights. It's not going to be interesting if both characters armor up and stack shields while healing any scratch inflicted. In terms of balancing, Healing would likely influence events like DA a lot more if it was cheaper.
-Ultimately what matters above all else is your writing. Stats are a numerical version of "this character wears armor" or "this character moves fast." 6 SPD vs 0 SPD won't mean that the 6 SPD character pretty much auto-wins because they're unhittable, it comes down to how the players write out this huge difference in speeds. A good writer will always win over a bad writer with an optimized character.
I realize that this won't make you turn back but if you have problems with moves, try the Workshop or ask people. We're your friends, not opponents.
And I wouldn't worry too much about a banhammer. Greg and the staffers aren't dictators, they don't ban free speech and you didn't go insulting anyone or do ban-worthy stuff in general :frogbon:
