Quartermasters Shouldn't Sell Weapons to Their Own Troops! (Discussion)

In a lot of these games you get a "quartermaster" who is supposed to be the guy who has all the squad/battalion's weapons, and he is a merchant! The guy responsible for giving out the weapons to the troops shouldn't be selling them, he would be strung up and killed by his own men if he did. Quartermasters in the game should give out weapons for free, not good ones nesecarily, but decent ones. Say you talk to a white mantle quartermaster and tell him you need a weapon and your in a jungle fighting plants, he could give you a fiery weapon for your class. Having to buy your own standard issue weapon from the people who are supplying it to you is annoying.

Why this is a good idea

•   Adds to the realism.
•   Because Arenanet could make max weapons unusable until a certain level.
•   New players would have easy access to decent standard weapons

Why it may not work out

•   People could run to an area, talk to a quartermaster and have a max weapon at the start of the game.
•   Dropped weapons by monsters would be redundant
