Request: Alternate Weapon Types

[DWolfwood]

You realize that the developers are actually trying to do the opposite of this right?

...they have since seemingly been abandoned as an idea, but I would like to revive the idea once again.

I completely understand the current situation and decision. I'm merely requesting otherwise.

I'd rather not go down the road of complexity for complexity's sake.

It's not for "complexity's sake," it's merely a visual thing, exactly like SMN getting new egi glamours. I'm just asking for the random, different type of weapon here and there. The only real necessary obstacle I see about my particular suggestion is that Storm's Eye would now be seemingly useless for hammers. Do they make Hammers do slashing damage? It would probably be fine if they did blunt damage, and you had a Monk, but it would be something to think about.

It's not entirely aestehteic unless you intend on making them still do their respective damage (paladin does slashing with a mace), which then doesn't make sense aesthetically to a whole new level. It ends up becoming such a cumbersome looking thing on paper that it doesn't feel like it's worth it, especially when it thematically does not make sense for the job itself.
