Come on guys. It's not fun if it's not EVERYONE.
For about 2h in a day is fun that everyone is a peasant, so no bonus dmg, speed or whatever. Also it would make the 0 level equipment have some sense, and we would see butchering knifes, daggers, forks and all that kind of crazy stuff rarely seen ingame, actually being used as weapons
.
Everyone's the same, so no heirlooms, level or gear advantage.
Afraid of depending only on your skills?
