I definitely wouldn't see the scythe as much of a weapon itself, but it would be cool to see something like it as a staff for mages/necromancers/death cultist type characters. Just holding one and doing some kind of death magic would be good enough for me.

well that sounds amazing, never see game that uses scythes as staff instead melee weapon

DC Universe Online certainly does.

I think I've seen it in FFXI, FFXIV, WoW, and GW2 (temporary effect)

The necromancers getting in Guild Wars 2 was a very cool effect so that's a plausible way if they won't implement it as a full weapon class of its own.

War Scythes were a real weapon used in wars. Used in many Uprisings in Europe for about 500 years. They are not structured as a Grim Reaper design though. They are more along the lines of a Single or Double pronged Pike.

I would like to see the 1 handed variant of scythes, maybe even a chain attached with an iron weight for maximum damage. If this game takes on weapon type damage resistances and weakness, a weapon with dual weapon types depending on which end connected would be amusing, such as in this case crushing and slashing.

You're talking about a kusarigama. I wouldn't get my hopes up too much, since none of the races seem to have any Japanese/Korean vibe to it as far as I can see. Putting in ninja weapons would feel off without the right cultural backdrop. With how many Asian mmo's left a bad aftertaste in many players' mouth, I can't help but feel that this omission is intentional.

They could give elves Japanese weapons due to it being a naturally agile race in fantasy.

I think that one of the orcs had Korean/Asian influences.

The one handed version of the scythe is the sickle, I included an image below, as both are primarily used for harvesting. Both the sickle and scythe were make-shift weapons - with both only being effective in the forward swing, as only the inside edge is sharpened, and the later being quite unwieldy in even experienced hands as it is designed for a low swing for cutting at the base of grain stalks.

The Kusarigama, with the counter-weight and chain, takes the Asian version of the sickle and attaches a weighted chain to make it a less predictable weapon than the sickle alone. The Kusarigama was fashioned with the intent for use as a weapon.

While I could see the scythe and sickle in-game they would be very lack-luster weapons.

Sickles will probably be used as tools for herbalism or something. Possibly as a dagger equivalent (as they are in DnD).

That's just not true, the wiki outlines all kinds of two-handed or large weapons. Just because they're not going for oversized manga sword aesthetics doesn't mean "large" weapons won't be included.
