User blog comment:ChishioKunrin/How much work would go into a RWBY MMO?/@comment-25555436-20150911195523/@comment-4010415-20150911232549

I think, with weapons, I misread what you said.

You said "Everyone wants to make their Edge Master use their Spear-Sword-Shield-Canon-Rocket-Lasergun-Knife-Scimitar, yes....but of course, customization, or better said creation of weapons would be too complex for that."

And I thought you meant that, letting the player design their weapon the way I was suggesting could lead to people trying to make a spear-sword-shield-cannon-rocket-lasergun-knife-scimitar weapon. I was like "No, no, I don't mean 'Choose a whole bunch of different things,' I meant 'Choose a gun, now choose a melee part.'"

And I was not saying "They need to make a ranged + melee weapon," I was saying that, if the player chooses to go the route of having a ranged + melee weapon, they'll go one ranged weapon combined with one melee weapon (in other words sniper rifle + scythe), since that's usually how most of the ranged + melee weapons in RWBY are.

Like I said in the blog portion here, the player could choose what kind of fighting style they'd want: ranged + melee weapon, melee + Dust weapon, raw Dust. Stuff like that.
