    Why do people charge so much for useless orange weapons

    I cant figure out why people are charging so much for orange weapons when they are basically useless. I have been looking for an orange grenade but i am not willing to pay 100,000+ scrip for a weapon that does less damage than my purple frag. I just don't understand where they get there prices.

    Because they are the only true rarity in the game.
    It's like why a diamond cost so much when it's industrial applications are limited. :P

    I honestly don't know why people even bother trading.

    Scrip is super easy to get and the weapon stats don't make a huge difference so it seems like it is more trouble than it is worth to coordinate a trade.

    I just sell/salvage stuff immediately if I don't intend to use it. Backpack space is certainly never an issue for me.

    I have purple weapons that do in most cases higher damage than most oranges

    Its the same logic as most any other commodity.
    Why is gold valuable?

    People pay money just to say they have it.

    Thats the problem. In a game that promotes teamwork. you have a lot of people just trying to take advantage of people and screw them over for fake money with items just because they are orange. Having an orange item does not mean anything else than that you got lucky at a lock box. I could not tell you how many people I have seen with an orange item are the same ones that drive in circles at arkfalls

    If they are 'useless' why do you want one?
