That's part of it, yes. However, I'm not so worried about having my own stories influenced really...It's the huge differences in the powers to do so that make it impossible. My own OC has to wade his way through his troubles the hard way, because to me that's what builds character for the stories I wanted to tell in particular. The power that surrounds him keeps me from doing that, unless I shut everyone else out, which I won't do. I've had to rethink my approach over time and find a compromise. Part of that is doing RPs with little or no combat, and introduce an end to what has been established. It doesn't upset me in any way, it's just come as something of a revelation.

As for everyone else, I'm not sure. I won't postulate why others do what they do in that regard, because everyone enjoys their own creations and I try to appreciate them on their own merits, whatever they are. And here, there is plenty of that to enjoy.
