Also part of the Weapons problem is that people who are Weapons tend to look for other people who are either OOCly or ICly involved with their existing character development. Maybe we should say that people should try and find Weapons that aren't their biffles, before they partner up with their friends? That way we'd get more out of cast CR, and CR from people that we don't usually interact with.

Another problem is that it seems like everyone wants the same type of Weapon, but don't necessarily want the Weapons that "can't do anything." So if you have a character who has a sword fetish, great! There are lots of swords. But if you have a character who likes guns, and there's only one or two of those but there's five players in the round who like them...then it's time to race to the plotting post, I guess.
