@Digdux                                                                                                                              I most disagree,by showing characters working together in a team can show a lot how each character acts  and reacts with others in given situations and opens large areas for development but if want to look within someone, ecspecialy someone who is so underrated, is by showing them in their own focus. In other words he needs his own spotlight by constantly saying that the mane 6 are the focus and that they need to be shown making the developments completely destroys the idea of Equality between "importance". Spike is actualy in a sense one of the most influential and human character of the main cast. He needs recognition for all the work he does and yet never really gets credited for because the Mane 6 are the ones who somehow always get way more credit since they are the "main focus". I don't think you understand quite what it is like to be in Spike's position. His six closest friends are all super famous and get way more attention then him while he has to do all the bag carring and list checking. He doesn't have a soul to turn to who isn't given more attention or on a higher social rank. The only place where he is given great respect is in the crystal empire but even there the writers still treat him like some imature child who can't take his responsiblities seriously. He has to do all the heavy lifting behind the scenes when we have already seen that he has very human feeling and conscious like in Dragon Quest, Equestria Games, and ''Castle Sweet Castle. ''He has so much room for character improvement and yet the writers constantly hold him back and a multitude of bronies think he is worthless and hate him dispite all he has done.

I don't see how you can say that the one of the main focuses is group activity and yet not say how important it is that the key to Spike's development lies within his interactions between the pony race  and personal friend relationships. The writers need to show more of spike's inner thoughts and feelings for others as well as show how capable he is on a mature level when people need him.

....Okay I think I got that off my chest.I have a lot of built up steam I have been working with about Spike. I just love that little guy but he just isn't given enough respect. If there is anything that will drive me to abandon this fandom and the show, it will be spike abuse...
