3.5 is inherently imbalanced, but is that really an issue?

Unfortunately, I'm unable to find it for quoting, but I remember vividly as some OP tell about how one player "overshadowing their whole party"
Herewith, the OP played as a Wizard, and the "gamebreaker" - as a single-class Fighter...

We are talking about what making decisions means when a fighter presents a plan for the party wizard to implement. I made a point of stating that decision is at the point of DOING on the grounds that a proposal means nothing compared to spells available. Especially when the fighter doesn't even necessarily know what spells the wizard has available, doubly so if this is to be an in the day problem. Even if not the wizard may not have even taken wall of stone yet, or even inexplicably banned conjuration.
