Energy Generate: Rank Requirement

[Himitsu Kasumi'Oji]

So, as Ray kindly brought up in chat, the rank requirement for energy generate techniques is "bogus." I agree with that sentiment, and I can't really think of any real reason for why a class 1 rank 2 character, someone who fights at the level of a strong VC without bankai, should have to pay twice the cost for EG techs.

Maybe there is a reason for the rank requirement that I don't know about, but I think it makes sense to get rid of it all together. Mods and members alike, feel free to chime in.

This has been brought up before, a couple of times in fact, and since there's now a thread about it I'll go ahead and add something. Every week we hear someone saying how there needs to be more EGs, or how good EG is and why isn't anyone investing more into its pools, but the technique itself punishes people who aren't the proper rank to use it. ZK is right, a Class 2 should be more than powerful enough to use EG without some sort of rank penalty. I remember there being talks before about the requirement actually just being removed but that doesn't seem to have happened.

I had forgotten it even existed... I'm all for removing it. It was an artifact of a different time.

I'm with Kyo on this, I don't see why the Rank requirement should stick around.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

3rded. 1 LAMs and 2 MAMs means that unless a HAM has thoughts as to why it should exist, we can get rid of this.

[Kento Waffles]

Sure, dump it.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Given the overwhelming mod approval, it's been dumped. Changes are already made.
