I mean, I recently watched a highlander kick a pillar into pieces and fight a guy using only one hand. I'm not sure that gives highlanders everywhere cart blanche to start making doors in walls.
It's not possible to establish, either. Roleplayers will find what they feel works for them and run with it. The challenge with THAT is that things snarl pretty wildly when the group thinking hyper-deadly aerial combat is the norm meets the group that feels that's reserved for the truly elite.
Honestly, I look for any excuse to post this.
Replace "throw into the sun" with "murder a soft target with my rocket jump." Ascian? Sniped. Traitors? Sniped. Any mortal challenge whatsoever? Sniped. After all, those spears are used to kill dragons! What chance does anything smaller have?

Honestly, and I mean for this to come off as neutrally as possible and as someone who truly values things like continuity, solid explanations, and above all 'rules' and high standards in my RP, but I think you're fixating on a very, very, small portion of roleplayers. A subset that you, yourself, by your own admission wouldn't be playing with, anyway. I get it, we're in the same boat, even, as I'm likely not going too interested in the legions of Miqo'te Azure Dragoons who've been in Ishgard this whole time but worship a different god and are also a Nunh and don't help populate nor govern their tribe(s) that we'll likely see, soon.
Stop fixating on a .25% figure and look at the grander scheme of things. Ishgard is getting a much-needed expansion (here's hoping for Ala Mhigo next!), Ishgard's most fabled warriors are getting a bit of spotlight for doing the actual thing they are meant to be doing. They aren't invincible, they aren't godlike, and they certainly aren't a one-shot solution to every problem. Honestly if we're going by in game lore and MSQ's etc, the Monks have by far the greatest amount of Dragonball Syndrome in the game.Â
Will some (a very small percentage) take the cinematic and apply it to their superman complex? Yeah of course they will. But those are the people who are ALREADY doing it and have done it with other things. They don't matter. You stated you want nothing to do with those people nor they with you. That's fair. So stop stressing over it and trying to convince people that it's a problem when it isn't. You just do you and let others sort themselves. People like you and I have bigger fish to fry, anyway =)
