Just A thought that I think would make Guildwars more realistic is...
The higher require the weapon the bigger the weapon looks. Big weapons would obviously require a higher mastery of the weapon (dunno how wands/offhands would work though). Also it would give new value to the undervalued require 11/12/13 items.
Anyone think this would be cool? Also a Really big Mursaat hammer would be HAWT!
Higher Requirement = Bigger Weapons?

hmmm.......no
higher req weapon means its less well balanced, and therefore harder to use
thats what i assume anyway

And op, no. Some weapons are already ugly enough as is. Don't need bigger turds in game, especially when the higher req ones drop far more often.

Why do i absolutely love this idea? It's one of the only suggestions i've ever seen that doesn't have to do with "nerf/buff this" or "new title idea". The only reason i could see anyone opposing this is if they're one of those people who pride themselves on their req.7 items because of their expensiveness instead of their potential effectiveness...

Size alone doesn't make a weapon harder to master. It could be poorly weighted, it could have a weird handle, or maybe it flexes when you try to wield it. Regardless, it's not just size or weight that determine how hard a weapon is to use.
Anyway, lower requirements are only important if you don't want to put that many points into the weapon skill; i.e. if you're not a warrior primary and still want to use a sword...

No thank you, It will bring some more strangeness in this game from people.

Why would you be a war with 12 in healing and smiting ? To play in RA ?

Req7's are stupid. You should be running at least 12 in your chosen mastery for decent damage from attack skills anyway. I <3 my q12 Chaos Axe..because i always have 13 in Axe Mastery, and that's why i deal killer damage.
But @ OP, no more upgrades fro GW1 pls.. :/

nah.. i'd pass on this suggestions
personally, i'd prefer req 7 > req 13 anyday. not because reqs don't matter, but b/c it's the fact that you have something as rare as a req 7. personally, i use 14 axe/sword/hammer (1+1) and 14 strength (+2) so it's all the same to me.

I like the idea, however I don't think you have propperly thought out how it would change the values of items.
If a weapon looks awful bigger then the price of lower 7/8/9 requirements would probably increase further.
Then you wouldn't even be able to give away the bigger versions of the item.

I'd like to see this, it would probably make more people interested in buying req10+ weapons(imagine an even bigger fellblade).

It would be alright for some weapons (Axe, Sword, Hammer, Scythe) but not all. I don't think giant Daggers would be good, and Bows and Spears are proportional as it is, making them bigger makes them seem wrong.
I do laugh at all the discussion about weapon requirement when this thread is not about that. Discuss req 7 versus req 13 in the appropriate place.

as for the op, /notsigned higher req should make em bigger. just add some massive sized new skins. so we can all look like inuyasha or final fantasy. I dont care I play a sin and use daggers or a bow. But a big ass massive doom dealing axe of doomyness would be cool.

Not happy with weapon size being related to skill but I would welcome a new class of weapons for GW2 which might need more skill to use.
Call them exotic weapons, the reason being there are many historical weapons that don't fit into the normal weapon classes.
Usually they are more cumbersome or unbalanced thus needing more skill or at least very different training.
This could include polearms which while not that exotic are not in GW as yet Scythes and Hammers being the nearest gw equivalent.
I am thinking of the oriental chain weapons like the kusarigama or the indian Madu "shield with 2 blades" and the european flails and so on.
The Abbisinian Shotel is another example it being a heavily curved sword designed to attack over and around shields.
Probably they will remain a dream but they would be fun to fight with and against.

What if I like my swords small? :P I don't want to design my build around looks, so a better way to do this would be to just have weapons drop in different sizes!

For Strenght requirements maybe, but for others like bows daggers it do not make much sense.
Maybe for GW2, if they change they way weapon requirements work, but not for GW1.

it would not make it more realistic because even though it is bigger, it still wouldnt do any extra dmg

Not to play on the old cliché here.....but bigger isnt better
For example your average Foil...why would you want that bigger? surly you want it nimble and light....

How exactly would making them bigger, make it "more realistic"?
There are already some big weapons ingame. I'm not fond of using them because they are what I'd consider to be too big. Making them bigger will make GW more like japanime, which is something I'd rather avoid.
If you want a larger weapon, simply choose a skin that is naturally larger.
