Just wanted to quote this because I think it's COMPLETELY true, often overlooked, and understood by few. A lot of games are made better by the lack of total balance. Across the board vanilla balance is something that I find most great games are lacking.

Everquest (classic)... not balanced.
Dark Age of Camelot (classic/SI)... not balanced.
Warhammer Fantasy (the tabletop game, pre 8th edition)... not balanced.

They are also the best games I have ever played, and the non-vanilla feel has a lot to do with that.
I agree. You haven't played Final Fantasy Tactics until you've completely raped a map with an overpowered, all-classes-mastered Orlandu.
