Well, I'm not going to get into the long theory, Ashy. But let me point out for me and Aha, the over-use of Dragon Slayers was a phase; we're over it now, and I myself personally don't want to make any more. The main problem with Dragon Slayers is that, while powerful, they're not all they're cracked up to be.

The Slayers of the current generation are weaker? Sure, that's cool, but on wiki-terms, it means a very bad thing. People can and will make extremely powerful Slayers; and while it's not a bad thing, the problem is that people will flock to whatever the main character, or in some cases, what their favourite character has, and spam it because it's "good".

Hell, if you so wish, you can make your run of the mill elemental magic slay dragons with enough power. It's just basically elemental magic, but with dragons, nothing's special about it. The main reason the seasoned users of the wiki detest Slayer Magic is that until lately, we've seen newbies make Slayers left and right; all because Natsu uses it and he always wins. By having a wiki populated with Dragon Slayers, it kills creativity with other magic; it's like the whole Sharingan/Rinnegan/Bijuu/Senjutsu/whatever problem on Naruto Fanon. THAT's the problem.

Any mage can kill a dragon with enough experience and power in my books. It's not the type of magic and the like, it's the skill and creativity of how that the mage uses their power that's the deciding factors in a battle, against anyone and anything. That's all I'm gonna say on that.
