It's will be good option for Ranger, IMHO. --91.78.177.37 14:02, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Crossbows are classically a weaker weapon than the long or shortbows. They take about three times longer to reload and have only marginally improved accuracy, and that improvement degrades as the skill of the marksman improves. Besides, who in the hell would use one? We'd have to make a second ranger class just to accommodate one new weapon. No. --Jette 09:09, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Crossbows have much more hitting power and much more accurate. I'd still like to have crossbow on the game. I like the idea and I always wanted to get a crossbow in the game. It would be interesting to have crossbows. chu-ko-nu is a crossbow witch can make a rapid fire. --Rated Five 14:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This a RPG, not a simulation. (Nothing in GW1 works as in real life, and you're wrong about RL crossbows anyway) Backsword 04:01, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Uhm...NO? Bolts usually have metallic tips or are steel all together, are thicker, and have WAY more impact and stopping power. They take about 3-5 second to load, if you know what your doing. I thing a Crossbowman would add some Soldier/Imperial feel to the game, most of the profession's have a home-grown, backwood, "I-learned-this-in-tha-desert-from-a-ninja-sage" feel.
