While real life is not a video, are there any game breakingly powerful tactics, weapons, techniques, etc. for just about any occupation in the world? What would be an example of a game breaker in real life?

Certain people who opt to go for businessman class tend to end up with ridiculous amounts of cash and resources, at the cost of losing a lot of Karma.

The problem is that Karma loses all meanings when you control half the world.

Being born to wealthy parents is the biggest game breaker in all of the MMORPG called In Real Life.

Just having resources is nothing if you don't know how to use it. It is when they are used to buy influence they become Game-Breaker.

[up] Some characters are already born with that done for them, and it's really hard to fuck up.

Horse-Archers used to be absolutely overpowered, broken and imbalanced.

But then firearms were released and horse-archers where nerfed to worthlessness over multiple updates.

feh, i remember back in the closed beta, where Guy With Big Stick was the biggest freaking gamebreaker, but then they had to go and add a class that completely made GWBS worthless. :<

And that was until the first batch of DLC came out, and only the greek got it in the west.

I'm interested in the Asian version, though. I hear it had an entirely different progression from beta to where they are now.

[up] Not really, no. If you use up all your nukes, you leave yourself open to other countries to threaten you. Nukes are mostly a tactical resource amongst pro players.

You also destroy the rest of the game,so literally it does work

Nukes only serve as a deterrent force. The problem with them is that there are gentlemanly agreements never to use one - if you do, you will be met with your utter obliteration.

[up][up][up] Yup, Spain.

Though that's maybe 'breaking the game' in a whole different way.
