On what basis do you have for thinking this?
The biggest concern.
How? And don't say "use your imagination." If you're going to contribute, actually contribute and back your statements up.




Anyways. The problem is that you already block arrows from the front as long as you're idle/walking, so to add sword to the mix would make you pretty much invulnerable from arrows from the front while PKing. It would make bows pretty much useless on the small scale/1v1 scenarios since sword users could just rush at you and block your arrows.
