Non-tradeable weekly weapons are a good thing

Its a good idea. It puts value back into jackpot weapons like they should be.

I ahouldnt be vendoring jackpots because i cant even give them away in zone chat...

I wonder what would happen if i offered a free wolfman or witch hexer in zone chat???

Farming the jackpots is not an exploit, i dont think that it ever was called an exploit. Its just somthing the devs do not want us to do anymore. Do you really think its the devs idea for every player to have every named weapon from the event.
Besides, you can still farm them, you just wont be able to swap your doubles. I have no doubt i can still get the majority of the mk2 versions.

I don't have the best luck getting good weekly pulls from the events. The good guns I have I have bought from others. That's my concern over this change. You cannot buy good weekly guns from others to get the ones you've been missing/wanting.

@TNO You're saying because you can't put in the time to farm and/or trade for the weapon you want, that makes it okay to to just pull it for free in a cheap way?

@Holy Good for you that your clan gives you named weapons, but that is not a common case. So you got a reasonable price? Good for you. The xbox 360 named weapon player market is a complete joke. Not a single item is worth over 10 million scrip in Defiance, yet people charge over 20 million for some just because a few moneybags are willing to throw that much scrip around. I heard the drop rate for this event was boosted a good amount, but regardless players will still be trying to scam others hour after hour for the MK II weapons. Now that the original named weapons can't be gotten anymore, bet on people who have them taking it upon themselves to raise the price of them drastically just because they feel they are entitled to that much scrip.

My problem is not with people purchasing extra character slots to get weapons as that is a legitimate function in the game. Although locking the weekly contract weapons is kinda pointless if Trion is still going to let players use the claims glitch. My problem is when players make several different accounts with 4 characters on each account in order to farm weapons and boost one character on one account unfairly. It's a shame I can't name the players here, but I know several several people on xbox 360 NA that have 10-20 characters each so they can farm all these weekly contract weapons and transfer them all to 1 character on their main account to sell and make millions of scrip they shouldn't be making. <- This is what this post is mainly about, is those few scumbags. If you only have 2 characters and want to transfer 2 or 3 named items to your main then go ahead, it's not giving you any big advantages. But getting 40 free named weapons per event, that's when trion needs to step in and shut that down. Call it what you want, I call having 20 different characters to farm contract weapons for 1 accounts benefit cheating.

Isn't using multiple accounts against the ToS? Having two accounts that have no contact with each other isn't, but a majority of games state that having alt accounts that are used to boost a main account is against the rules.

I guarantee this change will drive some players to not play this event much or at all and possibly even drive them from the game completely.

Lemme just say I disagree that that's boosting unfairly. If you ha e the patience to play this game through all the discos and lag that's about to slap us all in the face you deserve every pull lmao. I find it difficult enough just to come back and play one character. 20 is some serious dedication to defiance and or love.

I wont mind it until I pull 3 of the same thing and have to vendor the spares.

No, it is not against the ToS if you have multiple accounts.

It doesn't affect the prices actually. Because how many people are going to non trade able jackpots? Exactly.
