You assume that the game should be balanced based on what is considered "realistic." This is a video game.

Think of warrior using daggers and its skills, u see a huge man jumping around in huge ass armor up and down and twirling fighting with small daggers. It doesnt make sense to me and I have it, I think it ruins the rpgs purpose, i understand its creative, fun and possibly smart, but it just doesnt make sense.

- Classes were made to be separated
- Cross-classing is like being a bisexual, crossdressing, he-she
- Doesnt make any sense
- Ruins the whole rpg part of a game
- Can get out of hands, it already is, when i played in old days i saw everyone normal except a casual ranger with hammer from time to time, now these days, in arenas, AB, everywhere, people are messing it all up completely.
- Advantages to the people doing it and disadvantages to new players playing the game
- If everyone played their class normally, then everyone would follow the same class balance theory in GW, it would all be perfect and everyone would have the same chance in everything



NO i am not saying get rid of secondaries, i am saying a warrior using axes/swords/hammers suddenly changing weapon and learning new tactics and skills is ridicuolous, certain classes shouldnt be able to use different weapons, here are a few exceptions:

1. Everyone should be able to use a bow, it is like the very basic skill that in the early ages would be considered important.
2. Rangers can use bows and spears.
3. Casters can use shields.
4. Warriors should be able to use swords/axes/hammers and scythes.
5. ..............



Suggestions:
- add penalty for cross weaponing like -dmg, not able to use attack skills, etc.
- simply a requirement on each weapon to different classes.





Now what i expect from you guys, simple yes, no, neutral, please no flames, i know i prolly am gonna get flamed but its my opinion and its your choice to support it or not.
5.
Besides being a bigot,

you're dumb.

No, it's not based on the "early ages," whatever that means. It's based in a fantasy world called Tyria. That alone pretty much shoots down all of your assumptions.

What I will agree with is that RA is full of R/As and D/As with daggers. Actually, today I was on a team with R/A, D/A, and two Assassins - the assassins had a staff and a sword/shield.

Quite the odd team, but we had a streak going. That streak was ended because the two assassins got into a fight over whos build was better and one ragequit

Funny how you say it's fun and yet say it's bad. I always thought fun was the point of playing a game.

Another thing, since you want it to be more realistic, I guess all the magic should be removed, right? I don't think people in the old days did a lot of spell casting. And, of course, you can't really learn a weapon just by picking it up and using it, so each skill you learn should take a while to get. You know, you should have to attack a practice dummy a lot, slowly getting better and better. To be realistic, lets say you have to spend a few months training with a weapon before you can actually go out fighting anything. The armor system is pretty silly too. No one could craft a full set of armor like that that quickly. Here's an idea, you go to the crafter, order the armor, probably pay him a bit upfront, and then come back a few days later and pick up your finished armor. What else isn't realistic... I know, the monsters! What's with all those "skales" and "oni" and stuff? Those aren't real. They should go, and be replaced by wolves and bears and things. Basically, make the pet animals the only monsters. And of course, the storylines would have to be drastically changed. When the last time you saw lich lords, plague monsters and evil gods?

Anyway, I think you get it. It's a game, get over it.
