General WoD Discussion #2: Its time to Celebrate!

[Cirrylius]

Would a vampire Elder generalist be able to effectively compete with peers who are moderately or heavily optimized to one particular theme or another? I don't have any experience w/high XP vampires, but just as a first impression, it seems that the usual low vs. high optimization character problems would be exacerbated in high-level games, virtually to the point of unsurvivability.
