1| the linkedsword system, unedited, is pretty much broken. the sense of skill in sword fighting is based on abusing the system's issues such as horrible latency and a smaller mesh than hitbox.
2| clans thrive on innovation. WIJ wouldn't be anything without its technology. you can't innovate with linkedswords outside of making them a bit less broken.
3| the huge trend right now is RCL, people want to get good at it and they know sword clans aren't the place to do it
4| sword clans are dying out as a whole due to innovations in gun scripting and publicly accessible, lag free systems.
5| sword bases are more annoying to design because you need to focus on terrain without making it feel like it's designed for guns (i.e. barricades)
6| the stereotypical sword fighter is a pretentious, annoying moron.
7| the community of pure sword fighters is being absorbed by the gun community (see 3) |

"1| the linkedsword system, unedited, is pretty much broken. the sense of skill in sword fighting is based on abusing the system's issues such as horrible latency and a smaller mesh than hitbox."
True. However, not all swords-styled fighters fight like that.
"2| clans thrive on innovation. WIJ wouldn't be anything without its technology. you can't innovate with linkedswords outside of making them a bit less broken."
It's called swords and guns.
"3| the huge trend right now is RCL, people want to get good at it and they know sword clans aren't the place to do it"
The majority of people new to clans still prefer swords over guns, thus killing your argument.
"4| sword clans are dying out as a whole due to innovations in gun scripting and publicly accessible, lag free systems."
Get out. I've seen 3 sword clans pop up and they already have 100 members in a week.
"5| sword bases are more annoying to design because you need to focus on terrain without making it feel like it's designed for guns (i.e. barricades)"
True but when done correctly, sword bases are often the best bases.
"6| the stereotypical sword fighter is a pretentious, annoying moron."
Coming from a typical flaming RCLer.
"7| the community of pure sword fighters is being absorbed by the gun community (see 3)"
No, a lot of people who like swords are simply making sword-only clans. |

| If you weren't some "ELITE BE AMAZIN" killjoy and actually looked at the general community, the majority of new-comers to clans still enjoy swords. |

| There is a lot of innovation that can be done with sword combat. |
