As pointed out before, a fantasy game is not reality. In reality, people can't carry more then twice their own weight comfortably, nor do they use giant lizards to commute to work in the morning. Apart from being a fantasy game, this is a game in development. That implies that there are holes in the rules, settings and overall balance that you can not only fit your own hometown in, but your whole state - and you still would find plenty of space to store all the paperwork you need to do and know in Germany to pay your taxes.
I guess it was just a matter of time until somebody asks for a reset or character wipe just to level the field again. And that will not happen, nor would it make sense (unless there is a major overhaul of many things that would make a re-level important for people to play the characters they want - and I doubt even then).
Instead of whacking each other over the head with polemics and irony, I think it would be a better use of our time to actually log on and roleplay - unless you join the Dev-Team or Skunkworks, most of these debates will be little more than quarries later on. Let's better make them good quarries. I want this project to go somewhere good. ^^
Also, because I can't help it: overcoming all boundaries of the own, limited body and mind leads to the development of technology. And strange ideas like singularities and transhumanism. And even stranger lines of thinking that involve implanted sunglasses and extendable blades at the fingertips. So yes, in any fantasy being perfect in (nearly) all/a lot of things is entirely possible and a common trope. Ascending to godhood voids warranty.
