From my summary of the last Q&A:

> [@Dev Q and A Question Gathering Time!](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/dev-q-and-a-question-gathering-time/34109/219):
>
> To give a bit more detail on what I remember from the talk about this matter:
> 
> - A shortterm solution would be just the removal of Dawnbringer, but that would just shift the problem to the next weapon down (Runic Blade). The devs would therefore prefer a longterm solution since other weapons like Dawnbringer might exist one day.
> - One idea for a longterm solution is offering a weapon just like offering troops, but apparently that system was already tested/used before and not very popular.
> - Another is removing the hero and adding an epic troop choice.
> - The third thing named was limiting the rarity of weapons. I didn’t quite catch if that only means the weapons of the AI or the ones we can pick as well. If only mythic weapons would be banned or legendary ones as well wasn’t said, I think. Basically, there’d be a lot to decide here, but this was named as the third basic idea.
> 
> All these longterm solutions would require coding, of course, and the devs weren’t completely opposed to a shortterm fix since there’s no ETA for a longterm solution, but they would really, really prefer to do it right with a longterm thing.

I also remember them saying that the person meant to work on the issue had been changed to a more urgent bug fix prior to the Q&A. No clue if they have gone back to working on this by now.

Also there was the information that unless a longterm fix would be found, no more weapons like Dawnbringer would be added. I forgot if that meant Soulforge weapons in general or only mythic weapons like Dawnbringer.

Also yes, apparently the devs had gotten complains about Runic Blade before DB existed.
