Re: Combat Weapons:
Actually, I would think whoever owns the shard has ultimate say in how things should be. If an idea is well thought out, increases enjoyablility, increases playability, while not throwing off the balance of other classes and pvm. Then there is no reason not to impliment it besides it "not being era accurate" which we can all agree isn't a bad thing if done correctly (and is done currently...hence trophies, bi-hourly events, unattended macroing allowed if not encouraged, etc.)
Re: Combat Weapons:
The shard owner(Derrick) has stated that the shard's main goal is accuracy. He of course has the ultimate say so on any topic, but he has made it clear that era accuracy is a must. That is pretty much the top priority that is listed on the front page of the web site.
The events are the only special case in this circumstance. This can easily be cleared up and validated for its reasoning though. EA servers had many events during this time. This includes PVM and PVP. The technology and possibilities for such a thing to be automated simply did not exist though. However, when it comes to such a sensitive topic involving a PVP mechanic like the one discussed above it matters significantly. Something like this may be considered fun for you or the next person, but it would not be for someone who is looking for an accurate t2a shard. Only following the rules of operation for an era accurate t2a shard matters in the end. If you don't follow it than there is nothing that seperates this shard from the other fake t2a shards out there currently.
