How many people are gonna have non trade able jackpots that they want? I'm guessing quote a few untradeable com paired to tradeables. What I'm saying is, I don't expect the trade able ones to be worth a whole lot due to being able to still farm multiples even if not tradeable.

there will be a market, there's a huge list of available weapons, even with a lot of toons people wont get everything they want.

Farming is not an exploit. Like others have stated, this is all about trions bottom line: Sell more bitstore boxes. Also, if you agree to the change, please don't whine on the forum about how you wasted a week or 2 after being gifted a duplicate.

People like me who only have 2 characters on 1 account have no problem with this, as it barely affects us. The people who are getting mad are the people who have abused this for months and caused this to be put in place. So many people I know have several different accounts they use solely for farming 20-40+ weekly contract weapons from these types of events. If 10 people are each given a different rare weapon, then each of those weapons are in demand. If 10 people are given different weapons then 3 of those 10 people find a way to get 20 more rare weapons each, then the demand for those weapons drops quite a bit. I'm sure this post will have lots of different feedback, negative and positive.

To the people who are mad over this, you are probably a contributor to this restriction having to be placed. Suck it up and move on. Why is it so hard for people to play the game without abusing and exploiting? Sure Trion has been VERY lenient on people who have abused functions like this, but that doesn't give anyone the go-a-head to abuse it.

Unfortunately your grouping everybody who doesnt agree together. I have all 6 toons in use(only 2 are my mains that i use regularly)so i can have a better chance to get the weapons i want on my main toons. Without having to spend countless hours saving scrip for the market and hunting them down. IM not a seller. Once in a while ill sell some items, and give away alot for free. I know how hard it is to find what you want and like to pay it forward sometimes. Im not a scrip hoarder, i DONT EVEN HAVE 100,000scrip and consider myself a casual player these days. The only time i put in 8hrs a day is DURING THESE EVENTS so i can try to get what i want.
Hell i EVEN went out and bought a second PS3 so i could trade items between my characters since i DONT TRUST anybody on ps3 right now to help me move Named OJs to my other characters. Theres a trade glitch that ppl are using to steal from others and even tho trion knows about it theres been no word on a fix. Theres important things like this and trion CHOOSES to take away trading of nameds from weeklies??

I spend 50 to 100$ on bits everytime theres an event REGARDLESS so trions getting thier share from me. But Now with this decision to drive us toward the bitstore boxes with no other option but the market if we dont get what we wanted from the weeklies or drops they may not see another cent from me.

Last 4 events total hours played: 480 roughly
4 events, 8hrs a day, for the 15 days they ran

Total lockboxes bought: 157$ worth roughly (and they were discounted to 200bits each) so more than you think

Total arkfalls: countless

Named weapons: a single DC5 dropped from an arkfall to my level 50 alt while doing its weekly. 4 events and all that i listed, nothing from 157$ of lockboxes except back to vendor items, only 1 named drop during all 4 events AND IT WENT TO MY ALT. Now if "This NEW Plan" was in effect, i would never had gotten that to my main for use.

The only way ive gotten anything worthwhile besides that is SS and CC weeklies. BUT
My 1st main got 2 final caresses, my other main got 2 thorny roses.
Now i traded 1 and 1 between them, so both my mains now have 1 of each. GUESS WHAT ......Cant do that now! Cant even trade em to get what you want now (lord knows NOTHING ever drops from arkfalls so forget that) the rng is a cold bit$#.
Same thing happened during solstice

But having alts to do the weeklies and act as mules (since my inventories are maxed at 400) i was able to get a couple items i wanted and it gives us a better chance to get those items. Do you enjoy having to save anywheres from 2 to 10mil depending to get the item your after??? Some of us cant play 8hrs every day of our lives. This was underhanded and not necessary.

Sure theres ppl that abuse it and do it to get stuff to sell. But thats not everybody, and the ppl like me are mad too. Hell ill even say its thier right. Its an mmo with an economy(an unregulated shytty one, so why is all of a sudden the need to regulate this pop up????) COUGH COUGH::lockbox sales::cOUGH . Trion gave them 6 character slots, and the rng is sh$t. but all a dev has to do is drop the "not as intended ball". But some of us see those alts as a way to make things easier on ourselves, not monopolize.

Looks like im going to have to make sure all my inventories are full when claiming my weekly rewards this event. Thats the only way i can assure they go to my main. Sad to have to resort to crap like this because of a poor decision. They think this is going to help the economy?????????
Garaunteed all the tradeable named weapons go up in price now. Even though they really shouldnt, they will.

This is bullsh*t!
I have 2 toons too and if I wouldn't lucky to pull my own named, so I wouldn't be able to trade with another players for my desired named guns too. Or this guns will be extremely expensive.

However, the high ego trash is a treasure for your low ego toon. I can see where trion would be upset as it only cost 1 arkforge to downgrade but up to 25 to level up an oj. But I can't understand all of the upset by some players. Honestly you could pass things to a clan mate and then on to your low ego toon or vice versa and it would be perceived as fair and would amount to the same thing as pulling them from claims. As far as named weapons go, this seems an easy fix, simply set ego to the "winning" toons ego level when it goes to claims the same as every other item and then it would eliminate the incentive to farm for these weapons with low ego toons with full inventorys. Just my 2 cents worth.

One mans trash is another mans treasure, most don't like the FRC Big Boomer because the normal Big Boomer is "Better", statistically thats probable, but I have an FRC with excellent roles that would give most Big Boomers a run for their money. Its all about what any given player likes and doesn't like that makes it trash to them.

90% isn't a valid statistic.

This non-tradeable jp thing is BS.
If you dont get the naned gun you want, you cant sell or trade it for one that you like, youre screwed.
Im screwed with my bad luck. Last event got duplicate cupid arrows.

You can't get "ripped off" by others if you can't trade the weaps. Guys, you still don't realize all your boohooing is why the these JPs will be untradeable. All of the threads about getting ripped off or being too expensive is the deciding factor. Again, just shows how people are unhappy with free handouts unless they can take advantage of another person dumber than them (quite a feat actually). Crybabies unite because you don't understand how to make a profit while running a business.

Crying about zaggers-> Zagger nerf-> Reload nerf -> Everything on reload nerf <--Crying about crying

Crying about prices and ripoffs ->Weekly JPs untradeable ->More bit sales ->Angry nerds <- Crying about crying

So some idiots don't understand basic economics and now we're getting RNG hosed. Worst of both worlds.
