It seems dumb to not use it when it fits games with the features I mentioned, a game doesn't has to be just an arpg and nothing else, it can be an arpg and a wrpg at the same time.
>diabloclones wrpgs are action rpgs
They certainly would go under the action rpg tag, not that I ever encountered a diablolike wrpg because they are all linear and completely focused on the gameplay and character builds. Diablo doesn't seems like a wrpg to me despite being made on the west, it lacks a lot of things i would expect from a wrpg, I would just call it an top down view arpg, I wouldn't recommend it to a fan of wrpgs. Aa far as I know a wrpg with gameplay like Diablo doesn't exists, if there is a diablolike with multiple faction storylines, a moral system, player choices then I would gladly call it a diablolike wrpg and recommended it to someone that likes wrpgs like Gothic or Fallout because what makes a wrpg is not how you attack the monsters but if there is player choice, more system, a relative sense of freedom and non linearity, etc, not if it's turn based or first person.
>roguelikes wrpgs are crpgs
Didn't play many roguelikes but the few I played were definitely not wrpgs, with how little they care about the story or characters
>are blobbers wrpgs?
If there is a blobber with wrpg features like open world, multiple factions, a moral syatem and side quests then yes thav would be a blobber THAT'S ALSO a wrpg, but so far most blobbers I played have more common with jrpgs.
