I don't at all like this line of reasoning, but it does lead to the point I was aiming at when asking my previous question.

If the VQ is popular becuase it's overpowered - and therefore the obvious choice for munchkins everywhere - then nerfing is a valid option. But if it's popular simply because people like it... Well they paid money for the game, and they're entitled to play it how they want. I don't think nerfing the VQ into oblivion just to make people choose other Pretenders is a reasonable objective to aim for.
