Darn right they do. Most players know _exactly_ the stats of their
favourite swords. If they get a sword with particularly good stats, they
would be furious to have it reduced, as the distribution is a bell curve,
and getting ahold of a good sword is a fantastic thing for
them. Example: The average steel longsword in Achaea has damage modifier
of 100, to-hit of 150, and speed of 150. They are fairly expensive, as
they are, after all, longswords, but not particularly so. A nice pair of
diamond earrings would run you more. However, boost those stats by about
17%, and suddenly we are selling them for a lot of real money (we sold 4
at our last auction, at an average price of US $274.75). So if you are a
player, and you manage to get your hands on a particularly well-forged
sword with stats of, say, 108, 161, 160, you are going to be _damn_
possessive of that sword.

I think you vastly underestimate the analness of players, or at least our
players (and that's not an insult to them. I would be similarly outraged
to be affected by your suggestion were that to happen to one of my players
in Achaea.)

Well, in my experience in most certainly is true. I am quite sure my
players would be extremely annoyed to find their groups of weapons being
averaged together stat-wise (and I don't like it design-wise either, as I
like there to be a disparity in the quality of things).

Yeah, I see what you are saying. I suspect it would probably save some
space, but in our case at least, the amount of memory it would save
probably isn't worth redoing the way things work so fundamentally. Still,
I appreciate the idea, thanks.
