[DEV Question] Why is this allowed?

[Reynhart]

The weapon is important because it's a weapon.

You realize that this is not even an argument ?

If you remove the importance of the weapon, then why bother doing the Anima questline?

I managed to beat SSS for Sophia EX with an i255 weapon, and literally every other piece of gear below the required ilvl for Sophia, if weapon is so important, why bother farming armor and accessories ?
