Its hard to find a good balance of having a fun set of equipment without giving anyone a huge staggering advantage. In all reality, 2H are probably the last players I want to give an advantage too. It's impossible to give archers an advantage, without providing bows. But then its a guessing game for me on how many archers will show up, and how many bows will be used. I think the majority of the battles will be arbalest(s)+something else. This gives everyone a chance to get some kills, especially those without any PS, while providing a ton of EXP because arbs are expensive. It also doesn't give crossbowmen too much of an advantage, because they can't reload afterwards.
Also, someone will always be unhappy, because this is CRPG and everyone loves to complain!
