The reason I had thought it should be a separate hall is because it's not really training. It's actually a bit different. But it doesn't really matter if it's added as a new hall entirely, or an addition to Advanced Training. All that matters is that it is added, since it would be very helpful.

@ Orangeo: Actually, certain items from various lines are so considerably different, you'd have to add every weapon from every line. For example, the Brandish can become the Iceburst Brandish, Fireburst Bandish, or Nightblade. From there, the Blazebrand, Blizzbrand, and Silent Nightblade. And finally, the Glacius, Combuster, and Acheron. The Iceburst and Fireburst are almost identical except for the matter that one deals fire and the other deals ice. However, the nightblade and fireburst are quite different, both in appearance, and what they do. The Iceburst deals elemental damage, meaning, it's considerably useful against Construct and Undead, whereas, the Nightblade deals shadow damage, which is very deadly against Gremlins and Slimes. The Nightblade also, unlike it's "burst" variants, does not deal any particular status effect. And that's just an example. There are so many variants of so many weapons, and most of the time these variants have different potential uses. Be it because of their effect, their characteristics, the damage they deal, or even their intended fighting style as a whole. You can't just add the Brandish, and say anyone who has used it will have used the Fireburst, Iceburst, Nightblade, Blazebrand, Blizzbrand, Silent Nightblade, Combuster, Glacius, and Acheron. And as for your statement about the armor, Armor description is helpful, but so is being able to actually test it out in a real fight to get a better picture on whether you really want it or not, which is the whole purpose behind the concept of the WAATF. And as for organization, they could simply apply the organization the player arsenal has, with the addition of a search feature like the Auction House.

@ Fehzor: Perhaps the original idea did not have enough support? For any idea to be looked at as a legitimate idea by the game developers, the idea must have a good amount of support by the users. If this gets enough support, we might just see a WAATF in a Spiral Knights update.

@ Hexzyle: No, it's intended to be a free service, much like the Advanced Training. Not EVERYTHING has to take your money away - people aren't going to want to have to spend their crowns that they are most likely saving to craft or buy a weapon with, to TEST the weapon. Making it cost crowns would defeat the purpose as a whole. The idea is to let you test weapons out (normally weapons you are planning to buy/craft, but want to check out before actually using/crafting/buying), so that you DON'T buy/craft a weapon, only to find out is a weapon that doesn't fit your needs/fighting style, and possibly find another weapon whilst testing them out, that actually does fit your needs/fighting style, and you can then work on obtaining that weapon.

Erm, that was my point? xD

There's no fee for the Advanced Training, is there? You don't earn anything or get anything from the WAATF, it's just to test weapons out. Things like Lockdown have a fee because you actually get something from them (Krogmo coins and earnings), it would make no sense to charge you for something that gives you absolutely nothing except more foresight on what to craft/buy and what to not craft/buy. And really? Show off? Considering it's a place that very obviously lets you select whatever weapons you are using, be they weapons you own or not, and it's not going to be just a few people who know about that little fact there since in order to GET there TO group with whoever it is, they too would go through the weapons selection thing. Henceforth meaning that going "You like my Glacius?" while in there, would just make you come off as ignorant. And besides, if you invite someone, it's someone on your friends list... And your friends tend to see you more than just in places like that. So my point is, if you go around flaunting this 5-star load out, and then you appear in a friend's run with all 3-star stuff, they will notice, and you will look like a fool. So I honestly don't think ANYONE is going to be using WAATF to "show off".

That was my point entirely. And the reason we need the WAATF to be added into SK.

@ Nubskills: Considering it allows you to choose any weapons/armor, regardless of equipment, having a feature that still limits you on what you can try out simply because you're Tier 2 or lower would not be very efficient.

@ Canine: From that view, you're right, solo would be more efficient. Plus, it would remove any incentive for people to just use that as a replacement for actual play.

I have no comment on the interpretation you have of WAATF...

@ Extribble: Exactly!

Hmm... you have a point. But if a fee were to be added, it should be in the way you described it. A very small, very affordable fee (100 crowns), that gives you access to the WAATF for a full 24 hours.

Indeed, it would.

@ Diamondshreddie: Hopefully Spiral Knights developers would also like to see it...

@ Nubskills: ah, sorry I misread what you meant. :P

@ Magnicth: Thank you.

@ Manomi: And hopefully it will be put the game.

@ Sizuki: If you want to make your own suggestions for the game, please do so via a suggestion thread, not in someone else's suggestion thread, thanks.

@ Phiero: Thanks?

@ Az-Rel: Bad idea. That would make it so that in order to test out weapons, you have to be in a guild. And not everyone wants to have to get into a guild just to use something like this. The only two efficient options would be to either add it as a new room in Advanced Training, or add it as a new area in Town Square in Haven.
