Weight belts, let's get into shape folks.

[Admerius]

Add item: Weight belts.

6 versions:
Model: NONE
Weight: 40(Massive) 20(Huge) 10(Large) 5(Medium) 3(Small) 1(Tiny)
Gold value: 100(?)
Slot usage: 0(maybe 1?)
Equipment slot:(weapon slot? or maybe hand slot if that won't work)

These weight belts are there for broke tincans so that they don't mess up their play style by playing in too light gear when farming some gold.

Reasoning: I usually play in my heaviest(expesive) armour early mornings... some times I ruin my economy from being tired(too tired to sleep, so I have to play cRPG) and end up having to go peasant armoured to repair it all...

This has some addictive "benefits"... all of sudden I can move again with about 30kg less equipment... and run about like a drunk freak that had too much coffee. I don't like this, it messes up the long grind of imprinting my chars level of mobility in to my bones.

Please add weight belts so that broke tincans can farm gold with the same equipped weight as their full default gear.

Secondary benefits are that people can experiment with what weight they want to have equipped in serious strat or battle servers with two or more competitive clans online.

My full peasant gear Mauler (Shirt+foot wraps+Great maul) Weight: 0,2+0+8=8,2
With quiver of arrows: 8,2+5=13,2

My full tincan mauler:
Weimar Helmet + Gothic Plate with Bevor + Heavy Gauntlets + Cased greaves +Great maul= 4+27,9+2+3,6+8 = 45,5

45,5 vs 13,2...

Buff quiver weight to 35 or add weight belts

But you do realize that one quiver weighs 10 kg and not 5? With two quivers you'd have total weight of 28,2. Should be slow enough.
Forgot GM takes 3 slots. Well, yeah, then add weight belts (which will never happen anyway, I hope  ).

You be right, I was hoping to sneak in an edit, but since you corrected me I won't Macropus. And now I will focus on trying to back stab you on EU2 and 1 for your opposition to my suggestion!   

For the record I have no hopes whatsoever that this would be added during 2014... but perhaps later when there are less demanding things that needs developers time.

The main reason is as always: Trying to plant some ideas on stuff I haven't seen suggested before.

You might wanna bind "Walking" to some key, alt for example, and press it periodically so that your character cannot get enough acceleration. Not an easy solution, but I don't see any other.
