DJ_Redwire Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) It's a finicky thing. There are pretty much two schools of thought to this whole issue. Reasons for - No: 1.) The receiver of the item likely did not participate/complete the event in which it was given, and therefore does not deserve it. 2.) Event rewards are 'trophies' that represent event participation. 3.) The items have likely already been used, which by current standards of weapon trading makes them 'ineligible.' Thus, trading of event rewards would only cater to a very, very small population of players who have not used their event rewards since obtaining them. 4.) Adding items that are unobtainable into the Trade economy often creates rifts which end with a miniscule supply to a skyrocketing demand. (see: Primed Chamber, Arcane Helmets) 5.) Players who own event rewards are subject to harassment by players seeking their items. (This has been reported to happen to players in other games when similar scenarios take place) 6.) Some event rewards were retired for reasons not related to the event, and thus should not return. (ie. Snipetron [Vandal]) 7.) Many event rewards have been confirmed to return at a later date and possibly become permanent additions to the game, therefore the option to trade them is unnecessary. Reasons for - Yes: 1.) Event rewards are just items with no special properties and the owner of said item should have the choice to sell or not sell as they see fit. 2.) Many event rewards are already tradable, such as event mods. 3.) The framework to trade weapons is already in place. 4.) Players currently do not have access to obtain them in any other fashion. 5.) Many players who participated in event and received rewards have multiples and/or have not used the items they received, meaning a useable and sought after item that owner does not need/want is sitting idle in their inventory and cannot be given to another player who wants it and would use it. 6.) Many event rewards have been confirmed to return at a later date and possibly become permanent additions to the game, therefore the option to trade them should be irrelevant because any prior exclusivity or event related participation restriction will later become void any way. Note - none of the opinions above necessarily represent my own, these are purely observational. Edited January 11, 2015 by DJ_Redwire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyInShinyArmour Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 No. I was gonna play devils advocate, but LordOdScrugging brings up an interesting alternative. I'd heard that DE was looking to bring back events as quests, but nothing about rewarding the weapon from it. I'd much rather see that. No one can complain about people not earning it, because they'll have done the same thing as everyone else. You have the badges to show off that you actually participated in the live event (I don't want the badges rewarded from quests), so can't complain about exclusivity.

Nakimato Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 There was a post recently about this Event Weapons trading NO NO and ehm NOOOO Why see below.... https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/382929-why-cant-players-trade-event-prize-weapons/ Recently i got my hands on Grogon and realized that this is a weapon of my dreams. But then i found out that a better version of Gorgon exists - Gorgon Wrath. And i started to spam market channel with WTB Gorgon Wrath... And some guys started to convo me and say that i can't buy it because event prizes are untradable. Why is that? I don't really understand. First: tradable prizes are good for players because some of them don't really need the stuff and wish to get some money dolla money cash for them (like me and the recent fomorian event, i dont know why i got these prizes because i never really play archwing missions and this stuff will now just gather dust, lying in my inventory) Second: tradable prizes are good for developers )) because i will buy platinum for trade. And third: i have a slight feel of butthurt because i will never get some stuff Well sorry but i don't like the idea of making Event Weapons Tradable 1. It was an Event you had to participate to get it so it is your price Why should you have access to a Weapon you did not even participate for? 2. The Event Weapons have alway's a Potato in it so it is modified and like Syndicate Weapons it would have to be unmodified to enable trading 3. We don't know if they maybe come back in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsahiOka Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I want to say YES, but i don't want to see MR2 or in other words ppl with 50 hours and 1100 of PL with a braton vandal or another vandal/wraith weapon -.- I want more events where we can win that weapons again or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't really correlate to your play time or mastery rank as it requires you to play the event when the event is on. Maybe making them tradeable is no, but surely, there's nothing wrong about making it available again in the game (via quest or something). With MR affecting daily cap (and possibly more in the future), I would say it's a good reason to bring all the exclusive items (minus the Founder items) in the game.

While this is true, some of these weapons were from events that happened over 8 months ago. Yea, all you would need to do is participate, but that participation happened while the game was still very young. They were there way back then to participate. It shows seniority.

WERElektro Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 No.... If you didn't do the event, you don't get the reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)ShapelessHorr0r Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Yes. 1) I got the Latron Wraith. It is literally the best weapon I have right now. I've used it for at least 50% of my ~130 hours. That kind if power should be distributed when it is no longer needed by the previous owner. 2) DE would make a buck because those weapons would generate high prices.

RoboticApplesWithLasers Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Gonna say no, because no one really needs event weps. Many of them aren't even used by people who own them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanadra Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 It's an event weapon. Did you do the event and fulfill the requirement necessary to get said weapon? No? Then no. This, and this is coming from someone who's bitter he didn't just get the damn Hunter pack (and thus Excal Prime) when he still could, no, neither event weapons nor founder stuff should suddenly become available to all. I felt the same way about my poor Brakk, that shouldn't have become available to all either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuestenjung Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 No, they are exclusive to the event. You missed them, get over it. I missed a few too, and although I would like to own them, I have no problem with them to be not available again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken_Child Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 "Earn" is a strong word. If by "earning" you mean just being logged on at the right time to play the same boring mission over and over again *cough*eyesofblight*cough* . I thinik you're exaggerating . I was dedicated and I did it. So why cant they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deidaku Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 I was dedicated and I did it. So why cant they. Erm maybe people have other things to do even if you're a dedicated player you can't be logged on 24/7 , some have , jobs , other kids ,some are exams. Or just can't because they're staying somewhere without their regular gaming gear or without internet , OOOR , their PC is broken the list goes on. Events aren't about being dedicated , they're about being at the right place at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaosyn Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I both support and do not support tradeable event weapons/weapons I've missed... I mean burnout is a real thing...I can't be on all the time even though I am disabled and have all the free time in the world...Sometimes it isn't possible to even LOOK at the login screen without turning WF right back off. BUT at the same time I am the only one to blame for missing certain things...so yeah,there's that. I wouldn't mind if they implemented it and it COULD be done easily (simply restore it to rank 0 upon trading)...problem is it would lead to people asking for MORE things to be tradeable. I can all but guarantee that the DAY a Braton Vandal becomes tradeable there will be 100 threads asking to do the same with Excal Prime and everything else from founder packs. So yeah, I'd LOVE a chance to get the Braton Vandal or Gorgon Wraith,or Latron Wraith...but once you start going that direction there's going to be all kinds of flaming,begging,and even harassment. No need to make the forums and the game any more ugly than they already are.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xardis Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Nay, Those weapons are not obtainable now and probably they wont be ever. + you can trade only unrancked and unused weapon, I dont think that any player has event weapon that was not used. Also I think that those weapons are untradeble just because of that. Even if you did not ever used it DE preinstalled it with catalist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few of the vandals are pretty much unaccessable, but most event rewards are actually considered "in the vault", i.e. not locked up permamately, meaning they might see the light of day once more. I mean, I wouldn't mind this, but it wouldn't affect me, since I ain't buying that latron wraith I missed for the crazy asking price that these event weapons are inevitably going to sell for. And no way in hell am I selling my event weapons anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
