To add onto the previous post, this has made me realize that things like Magical Beasts, Night Creatures, etc are a big contributor to the PVP mindset. They're able to spring up, grow to insane power within a week, and be a problem off the bat. This incentivizes further the meta-building, because they need wins to be able to do that without dying in the process.
At least with a RB potion on a normal player character, you have (or should have) some semblance of IC to try and keep afloat, otherwise you get the side-eye from people that see what you're doing. It's a lot less impactful because you're fixing what's already there, instead of just throwing a new 'character' to the wall because you're capable of getting them to comparable power in a fraction of the time.
Not to mention, those same characters (less so Night Creatures because of the capture rule differences, but still) can permanently end a character who DIDN'T get to PVP spam their way to 210, and instead had to grow them organically. I started on the last day of January, and I'm at 224 on a normal human. I've been playing daily. If I lost that to a character that sprung up a week prior, I'd probably quit the game, I cannot lie.
