Eh, I don't necessarily see a problem, how many people have blind-fighting and don't have the IC to back it up, or how many people take a history trait for the actual history of their character rather than for the stats that benefit their current build, or are an actual Masseuse (instead of just passively farming youkai friendship).

Is everyone on Korvara utterly sentimental about their weapon just because almost everyone takes that trait?

I'm with Sawrock on this one, I think enforcing IC on mechanical advantages of most traits will just lead to more people trying to fit all these things in to their character backstory.
