[DEV Question] Why is this allowed?

[Reynhart]

Seeing Miste did an actual test on just how significant a DPS loss having a weapon that weak is. Why shouldn't she bring attention to an obvious loophole?

Bringing attention to a loophole is a thing. Stating a solution for that loophole is another. And frankly, I still think the problem here is that the weapon is too important. For example, we all know that accessories cost less tome than little pieces or armor, which in turn cost less that big pieces. It's because accessories give the least stat and big armors give the most.

But, with such a huge emphasis put on weapons, we could end in situation where upgrading several pieces of armor would give you less DPS than the weapon alone, even tough the weapon is clearly "cheaper".
