In reality, some of the equipment in the game were not particularly effective.
For example, armor.
It was quite heavy and big.
Of course, in special situations, such as when one was sure one was going to fight and there was no need to hide anything, wearing armor would indeed help one survive!
Perhaps one's skills or even cold weapons could block a large amount of damage.
However, it should not be forgotten that reality was reality while a game was a game!
In the game, if one was equipped with armor, one's defense would increase. No matter where others hit one, one would enjoy the effect of increased defense!
In reality, equipment was a powerful defensive item, and weapons were sharper and more powerful. Just because one was wearing armor, it did not mean that the damage to one's neck would be reduced.
