>Why don't more RPG dev's go for realistic arms/armor?
People dont even know what "realistic" means.

You arent looking for realism, you're looking for authenticity.
Big difference.

Realistic armor would be armor that actually existed and was used in combat
Authentic armor would be what looks to you like realistic armor but never existed or was only used for ceremonies or might have been only used in certain Tournaments or might look realistic but isnt if you think about it logically.

TL;DR Armorthreads are cancer and everyone participating in them is a midwit
