Correct.

If a player wants to make a heroine in a fantasy world who is as strong as the strongest man, then why go out of your way to stop them?

 

 

because a game world filled with 10,000 Xena's is pretty lame.

I think there is a better way to set it than Men = Specific stats and Wemon = Specific Stats. I would rather see things based on size itself. 

Think of using the body slider as more than just how big her boobs can get and really get into the character making size change how the characters stats are. Think of making a Rogue built like a amazon or a warrior thats a 5 foot twig tank . This would provide some interesting combinations, Using a small sized character as a warrior given a higher attack speed but little damage that is very hard to hit. Or a heavy set mage designed to actually be in the middle of the battle with a sword in one hand and a spell in the other. Its basically making the package fit the avatar.

So I take it you aren't a fan of the finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

And as an additional counter to your point, Superman is wayyyyy stronger than Xena so does that mean that all male character should be able to shoot laser beams out of their eyes?

Apples to Apples.

Kal-El typically could kick Kara's (Supergirl's) ass without much effort. It's unclear/dubious if he could kick Kara Zor-L's (Power girl, of the enormous rack fame). The difference between the two (both female Kryptonians) appears to largely consist of Franchise Character power-one was never written with more respect than a "B" hero (except her shining Death moment), the other was.

I recon all male toons in MMO's should be able to shoot lasers out of their eyes. This would go down famously until real life laser guns were invented. After a while some kid would shoot children in a school with a laser gun.

MMO’s would then be pointed at, “Look at those male toons with laser beam eyes!. That’s why he must have killed those kids!”

In some ways we are better of sticking to swords, the media have less opportunity to point the finger at us then.
