Honestly, It is really difficult to explain why this is just a stupid idea when people have no intention of listening to an opinion that does not cater to their ideals, but I’m gonna give it a shot.
First off, getting rid of Biju is unfair for those who have spent significant amounts of time fighting just to get a chance at earning a beast. This is a painstakingly long process that most of us have had to go through, and to throw it away is literally a slap in our faces. Just because some of you don’t actually care what happens, does not mean others don’t. In fact, I care very much what happens, because this is my ONLY reason for playing SL anymore.
Second, the beasts are not the problem here; the people are.
What I mean by that is people only fight over beasts because they grant the highest buffs this RP world has to offer. There is no one here who can deny that tailed beasts provide the largest chakra pools, strongest techniques, and overall highest prestige when it comes to in game items, while staying *legitimate *(Keyword).
Except maybe Warren, because he argues literally everything that I say.
If you take the beasts away, all that will be left are in game items, and village ranks. So give it a month or two, and topics will start to sprout up about people who are battling to collect weapons, or maybe coveted techniques, and the arguments will be just as heated as the Biju topics.
It’s not the beasts who are flawed, it’s the community as a whole. We are the ones who start the arguments. We are the ones who break the rules to keep what we want. If you truly believe that the beasts are what is causing all the Drama, then you are truly ignorant to the world around you.
Seeing as I am the one preaching, I’ll go ahead and use myself as an example.
I have already decided that if the beasts are voided, I am going to fight and kill as many people as I can IC before Ryoji’s inevitable demise. Why would I do that? Because I am here on SL to fight for the highests stakes I can.
At first it was the beasts who I wanted, because it was something I could strive for that actually amounted to something slightly important. It was something I could focus my time on here on SL.
Though with those goals being taken away from me, I must look elsewhere for entertainment; and what higher stakes are there than your character's life? Years of hard work that can be taken away at any time. It’s great! Not only that, but there are a number of people on my shit list who I would sell my lung for in order to grind their hard work into dust. The reason I don’t do that is because I have something like tailed beasts to occupy my time and focus my energy into, as opposed to ruining the game for other people like I openly plan to do should this actually come through.
Of course that example is a bit extreme, but you get the point. People strive for conflict, that's why something like world peace is an impossibility…
Too philosophical? Yeah I thought so too.
Getting rid of the beasts is a temporary fix, to a permanent problem, and I’m blown away that you all don’t see that.
Just as a hypothetical, say we do ban the beasts. What is to stop someone from just claiming all nine of the beasts, and waiting for their inevitable reinstatement? I mean, if he did the RP to collect them all, then who are you to say he does not have them? Sure they were void by the handful of people who use the forum, but now they aren’t, and he did all the legitimate Rp to get them. Do you plan to ignore his hard work because he did exactly what has been suggested a number of times, and simply ignored the people who voted to ban the Biju? Food for thought.
