I know a couple of mage players like that. A mage can't just run on the scene and nuke everything. The other players add and work together, you can't steal the show with the flashy spell of flashiness (and this is from a mage who, with a time stop spell, could nuke entire armies with his spell combos).
I LIKE the new license. The worst thing that broke old DnD beyond class balance was the squillion of books written by anyone and his horse.
Critical miss actually covered it (check this siote out, it's hella funny even if it hasn't updated in years) http://www.criticalmiss.com/issue7/scenarioinflation1.html
Basically all these companies want to sell their books, aye? Now they could do it by publishing interesting stories, riveting plot or indepth role play. Or they could just put in the shineist item and the most unkillable prestige class. Now, tell me which will sell more...
I had long since insisted on a "core books" only policy. One advantage of Whitewolf is all the books were made by the same people so I could trust the balance. So if it limits the number of sources in my book that's a GOOD thing.
