It would be cool if you guys could put new weapons for pvp like swords or bows or something like that instead of just wands

Say they introduce "Weapon" for this example I'll use Bows. They'll be encouraging violence.
I would stand strongly against any "weaponry" into the game as kids as young as 8 play this game.
Well if you want 8-year-olds running around hitting each other with swords then go ahead and keep suggesting, and shooting each other with bows. Also, please find me a kids show for 8-year-olds, and younger, which is using swords & bows.
I know they have them, but they don't use them violently. I wouldn't put it past this game for kids going around saying "I'll stab you with my sword" and with kids, they pick up words and therefore will start saying that stuff IRL. I've seen it happen loads.

I also saw about 5-10 suggestion about this on the old forums.
I am no longer arguing with you, this is just childish. It's dragging this topic off-topic. Remember, making 2 threads regarding the same thing is breaking the rules.
And I know you're probably thinking "But Qbees aren't real. Where's the realism in that?"
Violence has more of an impact when you are in control of it. The Qbees are animated, and not 'humans' by any means, but when a child gets to create violence themselves, or has the same violence done to them, it has a much larger impact. There is a saying, "Show, don't tell", and that is exactly what the difference is between cartoons and video games.
Also, Boov's point about wands being more fantasy-like is exactly why there are wands and not swords or bows at this point. In most kid-shows where there is magic, the wands being used are more for disabling or disarming someone rather than injuring them. Even in CC, the only wand that 'injures' is the harm wand.
Anyway, I guess my point is that kids will pick up on everything you throw at them, so maybe we should throw softer objects, yea?
Sorry about the rant >_<
Debates is a natural occurrence upon forums, but there is no need to be insulting in the process.
