Am i the only one bothered by how most non-mage characters not ACTUALLY use their weapons??

My most hated examples of this are Xenon and all the Explorer warriors and Shade and Ark kinda

For Xenon he was so cool, from 1st to 3rd he used his own whip blade, though he mainly kinda uses it for the whip function. He only has 1 skill where he doesn't but it's one of his 2nd job skills... but then after 4th he just essentially throws it away in favor of this big whip blade he summons out of thin air to spin around with (in whip mode of course but it doesn't extend that far for some reason)

Then the most egregious one of all is where he just... puts Roo-D in an endless teleport loop to attack LMAO, just turning his weapon into a summoning stick (wonder if that's what inspired Beast Tamer) save for 1 skill and it's surprisingly his hyper bind skill but still.

Then the Explorer Warriors where all 3 branches through out 2nd to 5th job never uses their weapons!!! they all just summon a magic weapon outta thin air! to make matters worse is that they removed the unique skill animations depending on what weapon you were using! (except Dark Knights, they use spear animations regardless of using a pole arm prior to the remaster) just adding salt to that wound man. Then there are these 2... startin' off with Shade.

Shade pretty much only ever punches at 1st job but after that he just becomes a spirit user, only ever using his knuckle weapons as a glorified magic catalyst. Ark on the other hand NEVER uses his knuckle weapon because of his awesome specter arm, only ever using high flora magic and specter magic (what does he even do while using basic charge drive btw? is that a spin kick or a punch?) which also glorifies his weapon as a magic catalyst...

The only rare few that DO use their weapon from 1st to 4th kinda are Dual Blades Shadowers Hayato Zero and Dawn Warriors. And then Phantoms Cannoneer Corsairs Demon Avenger and Mercedes. but they do have some weird things such as Cannoneers Corsairs and Demon Avengers having 1 skill where they either use it for mobbing or attacking then the other skill where it's the opposite

Mercedes on the other hand DOES have 2 skills she uses where she does use her bowguns at 4th! like her spammable stunning strikes and her hurricane. But she is weird that the fact she still mostly uses Elven Martial Arts i guess mostly for mobbing and bossing iirc lmao.

Oh god how could i forget all the archers, who have the same exact problem as the explorer warriors!!!

God this has to be my biggest peeve in Maplestory lmao... guess they also knew about this when making Adele, she is literally a warrior mage with a weapon that doesn't show on her character.
