I'd be all for it.
You know, with all the options broadsword has I say skip it for awhile and give some love to the friggen katana. I am seriously thinking of rerolling my main as a broadsword because of all the cool sword options it has. Let the ugly step child get some goodies for once and skip the darn BS a few times 
Given there is about 0% chance of ever getting a dedicated fencing set in game (and if there was it'd be a smegging 'it's so cool you have to pay!' set ¬¬ ) this is probably the best and closest option. /Signed

If anything Katana would be more suited for a rapier. I mean honestly, the raw force put into the broad sword swings would looks silly with a wimpy little rapier at the end of it. I mean come on... head splitter with a rapier?

If you think Rapier would look funny in broadsword, it would look three times a strange in Katana. The rapier is not generally a two handed weapon. It doesn't have a hilt long enough to manage a 2 handed grip, so you'd have one hand floating at the end of your sword. Plus the animations for Katana are probably even more wrong than those of broadsword. Besides, Carnies have been using broadsword animations for their rapiers for years now. I wouldn't say it looks "right," but it's not so painfully bad that people have been screaming for a change.

This. As a fencer myself, the only weapon that wouldn't look utterly ridiculous wielded two handed would be a Sabre, and even then it'd still look pretty daft.

I really think they need to forget broadsword for awhile and give the katana and the other weapon wielder underdogs some love. Broadsword has enough options as is. Just look at the recent barbarian set for example. Broadswords gets a sick new addition. Katana... nothing
I'm still waiting for Carp Melee.
Omega Zim - lvl 50 Rad/Dark/Power Defender, Alpha Zim - lvl 50 Tri-form Peacebringer
Theta Zim - lvl 50 Tri-form Warshade, Nightshade Zim - lvl 50 Dark/Dark/Psi Defender
Omicron Zim - lvl 50 Emp/Psi/Power Defender, Scrappy Joe - lvl 50 MA/SR Scrapper
Red Terror of the Spectral Pirates apparently uses a rapier with attacks based on the Broadsword set. I rather enjoy Dual Rapier swashbuckling, though.
'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
