I get what you are saying Verad, but things like these are just fun to talk about.
Certainly, but when it becomes a judgment on RP because players are supposed to "see sense" and go back to the more historically efficacious weapon, it becomes less of a fun thing to talk about and starts being an indictment on the people who chose it in spite of the historical use of the weapon. Then when there's the assumption that people made that choice because they're ignorant of the real use of the weapon, and not that they might be choosing based on different criteria, it becomes even less so.
Luckily no one suggested that making judgements in RP for people's 'weapon choice' is or should be a thing =P
I can see how you'd think that would be the case, but you wrote a very strongly-leaning post consisting of several huge paragraphs that seem to indicate that people picking greatsword or Dark Knight are wrong because reasons.
I'm not responsible for your interpretations. Though rather than assuming something is a way you could just ask to gain clarification. It would save these threads from baseless accusations. I'd rather not have people start whispering about "toxic behavior" just because I stated a preference on writing and tropes I don't personally care for. I don't have the time in my day or the energy to sit there and pass judgement on people for how they RP, I can only account for myself.
In the end, when we talk in these threads without actually having a source cited from SE about whatever in game topic, or a historical/current source to back up our claims we're all just spouting opinions. Some opinions can be wrong or misinformed, as well, but I'm not the kind of person who is going to pretend that my opinions are somehow law. They're just what I think at the time and are, of course, open to discussion.
