Number 1 is always a good goal. But such big fictions have a tendency to exclude newer users, not on purpose but due to their lack of experience.

Number 2: You haven't been here long enough to make that statement, no offence. Fiction like the War of Ages, Annihilation and many examples without the Xhodocto have been integral and influential. However, that sort of fiction just doesn't happen anymore due to the problems Drodo has outlined. It is hard to pull off a universal agreement on the damage it causes, and its effect on other fictions is undesirable too. There are also differences between users which means makes such a thing harder to pull off now, we tried last year at least twice and failed.

Super powerful fiction just isn't that easy to pull off. It is either viewed as an unoriginal rip-off of fiction done already on the wiki, or only works in niche stories that don't effect anyone. And the problem with the Xhodocto is that they are so powerful and beyond comprehension that anything done with them makes them look parochial.
