You're a fricking moron, you homosexual bigot.
The intelligent people with the necessary resources at the top have access to mages and magic conveniences.
Why would they spend their time help bridge the power gap between them and the peasants?
barely relevant.
people build things because they can. people improve technology and designs because it makes building things easier or because they enjoy doing it and new technology gets shared and copied.
if you're going to have a medieval stasis, try to explain HOW society reached the medieval age to begin with.

chinese civilization barelly progressed technologically in 3k years until 19 century british conquered it.
Japanese spend 3 centuries where they forbidden any contact with the exterior.
There's uncontacted tribes that try to avoid contact with westerners.
The assumption that there's a linear progress is a western view.
Western people always assume there can't be other points of view on most stuff.

Because other points of view tend to be stuff like Indians eating cow shit or chinks building stuff out of chalk. Or Russians being cursed by god to have a depressing aesthetic.
Have you realized that not everyone wants to live in California and new york?
The desire to live in a cubicle for 10 hours of everyday just to afford barely enough to feed yourself and not enough to have for a family or free time to spend in the town festival or living in a polluted city eating microplastics.
Would have been seem as an aberration to even pre XX century intellectuals.
Tolkien literally despised industrial cities.

I mean you are right if I lived off of cow shit and bathed in a cancer river I'd probably spent less money living.
I could also just keep working 8 hours a day in a cubicle earning 40 times what some nonwestern earns living in a neo-medieval shithole.

>why would they need our contemporary tech
Why have another generic ass medieval world?
Also the worst are the arguments for tech stagnation in a medieval world with magic that is rare and difficult to master.
The thing you're not getting is that fantasy comes from the middle ages. People during these times all thought magic was real on some level. These games are inspired by what they thought their world was really like.
>fantasy world somehow has humans, human cultures, and human aesthetic senses and tastes identical to real life even though developing in a fantasy world should have drastically changed a lot of that

You're a fricking moron, you homosexual bigot.
It’s more fun when the fantasy world does have more modern tech but it’s only available to some.
Warhammer Fantasy does this pretty well actually.
This is incredibly kino, what the kell are you talking about?
why someone would pick magic to fight over weapons?
You can't learn magic.
Mage propaganda trying to sell morons their bullshit trinkets
You have to be born attuned to mana
>why would someone pick sword and armor to fight with guns?
>fantasy world has 23rd century weapons
>fantasy world is generically medieval
>it has over five thousand years of history
>It's all medieval stasis-land
>Have Magic
Why would they need our contemporary tech?
For reference, it's been many many thousands of years since Humans had language

Same reason technology has proliferated in real life across all types of people
fantasy is a medieval economy, not capitalism.

Try that in a African town.
See how far ya make it down the road
Our world would have been too if not for the Black Death.

>fantasy world has high powered fully automatic firearms
>game becomes way too fricking easy
good job homosexual
>medieval fantasy world develops technology
>it gets erased because somebody wants to keep the status quo or due to a cataclysm
>fantasy world somehow has humans, human cultures, and human aesthetic senses and tastes identical to real life even though developing in a fantasy world should have drastically changed a lot of that
Try explaining how Hobbit culture is identical to turn-of-the-century British villages.
>one autistic britbong hated industrialization so now fantasy has to be exactly the same forever
and 21 century morality
>Japanese fantasy world
>has modern fashions and inventions sprinkled in
>fantasy game does anything
What's the problem?
