What you are claiming is that we staff members abuse our power and thus to make the game fair everyone needs to know the same thing. I do not hold to that philosophy. None of my characters ever had an advantage over other characters because of what I know as a player and being a staff member.
I'm not talking about staff. I'm talking about players with wealthy characters who can find these things out for themselves. If the relative effectivenesses of weapons were kept secret, the player with a character who could have all the powerful weapons in Cantr in his inventory at the same time (in other words, most of the experienced players) would be at an advantage, because his other characters would be able to use the information gained by that character.
And no, I don't trust players to be able to compartmentalize their minds in that way - if you're capable of having your characters play out the whole discovery process, that's good for you, but I don't see most players doing that, even if they had the moral fiber to want to do it.
