A weapon can be used defensively too.
However I wouldn't take any phrasing present in an english translation as a window into core company philosophy, double so when the source language is Japanese. There is no real direct translation of Japanese into English that is really readable without some degree of localization.
Even so, the realm of pay to play MMOs is super cutthroat. After the boom that WoW created, everyone thought that there was this huge untapped market of people willing to pay a monthly fee to play games. But it turns out there is a finite number of people that are willing to do so, as a result the pay to play subscription model games do have to battle each other directly to stay relevant. It's not right or wrong, but if you want to keep playing ARR as a sub game hope that YoshiP and SE keeps their blades sharp and their eyes on the horizon.
