Hm, in online games, many items and props are far larger than they'd be in RL so that they stand out and you see them.
Thats also why the huge sword that would weigh 30 pounds if it were real got started in the FF series games; so it would be clearly visible, not because they thought it would be practical.
Once the style got started, it crept into armor, animals- all kinds of things. (Its why common rats in WoW are as big as cocker spaniels to human characters- so tauren players can see them easily, because you can't resize them for other players of smaller overall size.)
Now its become an artistic convention in games like WoW, so yeah, shoulders are completely out of hand...
