This is a really salient post. It makes me really fucking wonder how exactly Grabowski's group was playing to make him so concerned about the game he had to add the Great Curse. EVERYONE brings up the "I don't want my group to play like Lawful Good Paladins", and leaving aside how that's a player's choice...Creation is already a setting without easy one size fits all solutions. Even major benevolences have consequences. How did they deal with the Guild? Or do they deal with two rival kingdoms with legitimate grievances? Even forcing peace is a not neutral option.
GC as a meta opt in thing like Essence had could be cool I guess for really encouraging those stories and for fellow players to have buy in not to be too squicked out about it...and for those few Exalts that desperately do need some form of limit track for some particular setting things, like Alchemical Clarity or Abyssal Resonance...they had that shit before the Great Curse was even a thing for them.
The poster boys for the Great Curse are the Solars and comes up in every discussion about the GC, but they literally do not need it to occupy the same setting history, because the bulk of their issues is that they have lots of easy, society sweeping powers and naturally form power blocs centered on themselves. The Limit Track barely interacts with the sometimes decade long madness that certain Solars of the First Age do.
