The basis of your point seems to be the assumption that people won't/don't roleplay developing their magic. And for the most part I think that's completely untrue. The world and setting of this Eternia and the past 2 has been a magic fantasy. There's no other way to get stronger other than RPing...so of course people will develop their skills through rping.
Besides that, no one benefits from them restricting magic, besides the elitists lmao. The staff have jobs and lives, they want to play the game, and then they gotta read and judge all these apps just to learn magic that was never restricted like this before since the first eternia. They probably want more time to play the game, and we would like to have more freedom with roleplaying, this is a downside for both sides.
Also Chance, sure they got more creative, but that's because they had to be. There is no canon explanation, or one true way to develop these abilities. And that's great. But this change was completely unnecessary. At that point your role playing to get something out of it more than doing it how you want. When the point of roleplay is the freedom to choose and develop your character the way you want, with other people doing the same thing. Shouldn't RPL suffice to be a measure of how someone has developed their character. That's kind of the point of it I would assume, it's also why I think these applications on "advanced" tier magic is a bit redundant imo, but I'd be fine with just having more than 5 magic available without going through a lengthy, unnecessary, process if finding out if I'm good enough to learn whatever type of magic according to the discretion of the staff judging it.
