SAO Plot Hole

panteradraco:

Why’s there a Beast Tamer in Sword Art Online even though there’s no job system? What about the merchants? Strange… Are all weapons equal? 1000 skill level means maxed out. Will a spear be as strong as a dagger at that level? I thought Kirito only wielded straight swords not Japanese swords…

There aren’t any beast tamers, silica is just called that because she’s the only person to tame a feathery dragon.  Just like Diabel calls himself a knight, or Asuna is known as a fencer, or Heathcliff a paladin.  Taming is just another game mechanic.

Oddly enough I don’t think comparative weapon strength is every really discussed beyond weight and sharpness being important.  in the original SAO the major difference (the most important one anyway) was the sword skills the weapons could use.
