Crazy idea about weapons

[Anduril]

Now I know this will never, ever happen, but I was thinking to myself: "Why can't we pick which hand to put our One-handed weapons in?" I personally think this would be a great way for people to customize their play styles.
Now my idea isn't like you put a saber in both hands and get a Twin Saber, more like you put two sabers and get a saber with one PA and another with another, both only useable by switching to the appropraite hand, like we do with a saber/handgun combo. (ie. Saber+Saber=/=Twin Saber, Saber+Saber=Saber+Off-hand Saber)
I think this would be a good idea, especially with Rangers so they can have two different elemental bullets equiped without having to shift to a different pallette space, and even with Hunters, especially when facing off against mixed element mobs. I think it would be nice, what do you guys think of the idea?

I agree. Pre-AOI I kept wanting to put a wand in my left hand. Thankfully they came out with Tech-mags.

Ive had the same idea before. It would allow a lot more options if they let you pair whatever you want with whatever you want. Two mixed sabers and twin sabers. Mixed handguns as twin guns. Also, I would prefer to equip two Tech-mags rather than a mag and a wand... but i guess thats being a bit picky.

Hmmm... Xbow and Mechs (or cards, for GT) in one palette space would be neat, or even just dual crossbows...

EDIT:You would have some downright idiots running around with dual Ebrozikes or something and thinking they were being useful party members though...

o.o this would be useful for things like Twin Crossbows, or something.

You can LOL at the ultimate AFK Autofollow Weapon! Twin Shadoog! :3

Twin crossbows would pwn if you had an ice in one hand and burn in the other. freeze em, burn em, watch em die.

[Akaimizu]

Not really. They could already PWN in that manner. It's no battle advantage simply to have two different bullets in both sides of a single pallette entry. That is, except taking up less pallette space.

Heck, you see me doing that with Twin handguns. Just two different pallette positions. I can apply Twin Mayalee in a round, and immediately do the other bullet, right afterwards. Or any combination of the elements. I'm a fast flipper.

Been thinking this since the game launched. >_>

It isn't gamebreaking since you can still only use one one hander at a time, it's just a bit more convenient.

Want to know my opinion on why they didn't give this option? The code (or ST's laziness) probably doesn't allow for mirroring PA movements correctly. For instance, when you use a saber PA, the code might instruct movement of the right arm specifically, not necessarily the hand it is being held in in general, etc.

[IsoDonk]

I think it's a question of balance. Who would use Tech-MAGs when you have a more powerful wand to use in that hand instead? Also single pistols are a bit more powerful than their dual equivalents, thus making duals obsolete as a result.

It's a great idea, but there's definitely more to it than just laziness.

Craziest Idea ever...(Ididn't know you can freeze them while burning )

I would give you credit if it wasn't burn...
Freeze =/= Burn
Freeze = Virus

It would make RCSM's actually useful to gunner classes. Since guns are equipped in the left hand or both it makes no sense to give gunners RCSM's. I can see GT maybe but there's better guns to be put in the left hand (xbow, card, mechgun).
