It's at his own discretion to convince us or confuse us. :^) I know of Gruk's part in the mod. Whether his statement was true or not, his comment was unnecessary. This is not a debate about whether mithril weapons will be removed, but whether they should be removed! Gruk's comment essentially shut down all further discussion on this topic. If we can't discuss, we can't change the modders' minds. And honestly, if the mod team are so set in their ways, how do they expect the mod to improve? Unnecessary? No, I was just being honest. We are not going to remove mithril weapons, just becouse lore states they didn't exist (although I don't see why not, a steel core could be used to add weight) . If I really were to stop you from discussing, I would just close this thread and be done with it. Discuss whatever you want, but it's us, who make this mod and we decide what is good and what is not.

You were being honest? Oh, it was just a completely unnecessary honest statement, then, which discouraged further discussion because people now knew it was already decided, but without any actual reason for the decision.

Besides, you obviously didn't comprehend my argument. It was not 'just because lore states they didn't exist'. You have not shown that you are knowledgeable on the subject. You have not made any valuable point here. Actually revealing the mod team's reasons for the decision, as Mevans often does, would have been extremely useful. Then we could have pointed out possible flaws and alternatives. But no! You decided to just leave the decision, not the reasoning.
