So people want more weapon slots, and the game's really not set up for the diehards that don't want to use any swords. Also, we all want more weapon slots to spend our CE on.

I say everyone should get a new sword-only slot. New characters start with one normal slot, and one slot that is "locked" to be sword only: players can purchase up to three additional weapon slots, up to a maximum of one "scrabbard" slot and four "any weapon" slots.

More weapon slots means more weapons purchased, which means more CE spent. And the players are happy, because carrying more gear is always shiny. It'll encourage even pure gunners to carry a sword into battle, as they have nothing to lose.

Thoughts?

This seems dumb and limiting, I'd rather have another normal slot. I don't use guns or bombs, so I sympathize with the people who don't want to use swords either. One of the nice things about this game is it doesn't pigeonhole you into a class role like most MMOs do (which I hate, cause I always get bored playing my class and don't feel like leveling from level 1 to start over, then I just quit that MMO). Last thing we need is type-locked slots.

i'm horrible with the sword for some apparent reason, so i have to use a gun/bomb combo. i don't want a cant use the sword

many people will leave undoubtedly because if this was implemented because there some that are like me who cant use that darn thing and want to use something else, and we NEED TO have a diversity of players, elite bombers, gunslingers, and dual swordsmen and anywhere in between can actually play without wasting 150 energy a month trying to get a extra weapon slot.

all in all, i oppose, and so would be about 1/2 of SK players.

We could reverse this and

We could reverse this and make it so you have a "gun-locked" slot. Since guns are useful for hitting switches and when you need to kite. Would you approve of the idea then? Probably not as I'm assuming you use mostly swords.

Limiting people's choices to what you like (and that's what this is) is never a good idea. What if you join and you want to be a bomber, or a gunner, instead of a swordsman? To get 4 slots to put your weapon type in you have to buy 3 slots instead of the 2 a swordsman has to because somebody decided "hey, you all should carry a sword". Not a good idea, and downright unfair to anybody that wants to be anything besides a swordsman.
