When everyone is special, no one is special. Everyone in RP and tabletops and the like wants to be the unique little star, the center of attention. It's insulting to your fellow gamers, for one thing--if you and your crew are strolling through Stormwind, no one's going to notice anyone but the troll, and their experience and contribution is devalued. For another thing, contrived crap like that is exactly why a lot of people who would otherwise be interested in RP shy away from it, and exactly why a lot of people who aren't interested in RP ceaselessly mock those who are.

People can't be happy creating characters within the universe that has been painstakingly detailed around them... they have to be special little vampire spy cross-faction cross-class divas. It's not creativity, it's Mary Sue at its worst.
