Discontinued Items Becoming Tradeable

[dice]

I think it is a good idea that discontinued items that were once available in game through gameplay and through prime access should indeed be tradeable.

 

For those that don't know what I mean, here are some examples:

 

- Wraith Weapons

- Vandal Weapons

- Prime Syandanas

- Prime Extractors

- Prime Player Icons

- Excalibur Proto Armor

- Etc

 

Does anyone else share my opinion? If not, please comment why this may be a bad idea.

No. Exclusives are exclusives, because they are exclusive for the one, certain player who got them. They should never be tradeable.

Moved to the proper section.

I have a feeling that Wraith and Vandal weapons will become available through the faction quests or something like that in the future.

 

Trading for Prime Syandana..? I.. I don't know. People payed a LOT of money for it. I wouldn't be surprised if 5000 plat was considered cheap for it. Since it's scarce and very expensive.

 

Prime Icons may be okay, but still would end up pricey due to the exclusivity.

 

Proto armor was kind of like an anniversary thing, same with the DEX Furis.

 

As much as I'd love for a way to have someone let me borrow weapons to gain more mastery, I'm sadly going to have to say no. It would kind of ruin the point of making them event/exclusive weapons/items.

I'd like i to happen. Mostly because the vandal is absolute * anyway. I'd rather have space again for something more useful.

"Exclusives should remain exclusives." and what if the person with it doesn't want it anymore and would rather let somebody who wants it have it?

It's my weapon. I earned it fair and square. I should be able to give it or trade it. besides the amount you could charge for something like that is insane...

I don't see why the option shouldn't be available, it wouldn't add any more into the game and would retain the same exclusivity that it has now.

Maybe blueprints like Ether Daggers, Machete or Boar. Event weapons although they were never stated as exclusive would have to come back into the game though a separate means that to this point DE has not ruled out yet. As mentioned above, the faction quests would be my logical guess as to where they would be reintroduced.

This.

I was thinking the same thing for discontinued or hard to get blueprints.

 

I've been saving up a Gorgon and Machette blueprint for a mate who hasn't been able to play previously. Now that he can, I can't give them to him to make.

 

Similarly with Seer - I've got a spare blueprint and all the components that I'd like to give him, but instead, he'll have to do however many dozen runs to get it for himself, while I have useless extras.

 

It'd be great if we could trade these sort of things.
