Xho, I agree that the Kicath and Draconid Imperium do probably would not work as tier fours. Same can probably be said for all the tier 2s and 1s out there. They can be innately more interesting yes but that doesn't mean they will always be more interesting. A very well protrayed tier 4 in my opinion could compete in interest level with a sub-par tier 2, it depends on the capabilities of the respective writers.

Sometimes limitation can be good for creative writing. The concept of Limitation is impossible to remove otherwise everyone would go crazy. It can impose challenges and one of the biggest obstacles to keeping writing fresh aside form the writer's block is the comfort zone, which is a limitation. I could argue that refusing to tone down is itself imposing a limitation because it restricts you to the higher-end stuff, which as I said is what is causing alienation between veteren and newer users because they can't as easily interact.

I agree that you can't write for everyone, otherwise the result is the literary equivilent of watery porridge. Everyone has their own tastes and interests but I don't get why that should allow people to shrug our shoulders and go "meh" to the prospect that there is a possibility of working like a group of friends which I thought is what we are supposed to be here. Instead of being one community, we're at each other's throats all day long like rival football teams over which group is worse.

Katar fiction is incompatible with Borealis and Cyrannia fiction from what we can see, and the result for some stupid reason is that the Katar users cannot easily hold an amicable conversation with the Borealis people regardless of topic. We can either try and sort that out by finding a way to intermingle more (the whole point of my suggestion), or we can shrug our shoulders and sit back to wait for the next big community explosion because it will happen if we do nothing.
