Even with this, someone would just redo the textures so they show up on the first three levels. At that point looming the new 3 would do absolutely nothing but waste points. In a game that's as easily moddable as this one, anything where people have to do a lot of work just to look a certain way is going to fail.
so - sbdy mods crpg, he makes his own newly looking version of warband where everybody looks like shinny rich knight. i say why not, its his choice - he can replace the regular models even now. but its also his choice he won't see any difference between loom +3 and +6 then and most of the others will still see him as a regular figher if he will hold on to his +3 weapons. why this should be an argument of not implementing this? there are people using color arrows mod, will we remove arrows because of them?
all i say is i want these models to be unique, not available to everybody. right now almost everybody has loomed something. i feel like this game is about medieval slaughter of rough smelly ugly guys with rusty weapons and not about a fight among golden swords.
thats why i suggested what i suggested, i'm not sure if it is the right way, maybe it is not. or maybe only fief owner's loomed weapons could look like these. i don't know, just suggesting...
so i guess there are just 2 attitudes - these designed weapons for almost everybody and we will all look like in amusement park or the other way where only a few people have them. i support the other option, but i guess its minor oppinion as i see the other reactions (less intelligent than yours).
(also if you think that "anything where people have to do a lot of work just to look a certain way is going to fail", than you probably haven't played any mmo at all)
