Make Maelstrom Weapons Tradable

How about it gives you the weapons based on what you use in the arena? You use a staff, get a staff, use a 2h, get a 2h, that would be nice.

Yes. So tired of people defending it, like if it was actually fun or something. Its not fun its stupid, its not a real test of ones skill, just memorization and dps dps dps... so stop holding it like if it was gods gift to lag and have *** drops all the time just to be able to peer down your nose at others frustration.

Although I could make a ton of Gold with that, No No No. You can reach top damage without these items, it's not a must-have.
It's a reward for people who went through this and it is earned by skilled playing, not by buying the DLC.

I would trade 20 stamina maelstrom weapons for 1 maelstrom sharpened fire staff so I can finally stop the maelstrom grind and do something more fun with my time.

I'm fine with "earning things", but I wanna refer to this: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/257496/veteran-maelstrom-arena-drop-rates

Still think it's fair?

Yes, Maelstrom weapons should be tradable or at least the system needs to be changed.

Yes

To be honest. I think vMA could hold a great market. They are unique weapons that only people who can complete vMA can sell.

I personally hate vMA. I'm still suck on the last boss round. I need to farm tons of potions and gear before i think ill be able to finish it.

On the other hand, if i could buy this from someone all my problems would be solved.

And again:


Sorry, but whoever is defending this system or has an active ESO Plus subscription has lost 100% of my respect.

No. Plain and simple. Whats the point in having something challenging that offers great rewards if you can just buy it from someone. I have not even completed the first stage of VMA and I am okay with that and you will never see me asking ZOS to make special rewards like that BoE. The point is that these rewards are meant to be shown off as an accomplishment and something you earn. Not have everyone running around with one because they had enough gold to buy one. And yes you can argue that the costume or title is good enough as a reward to show off but its not. Not everyone likes to wear costumes or polymorphs. If they make these BoE then whats the point of even running vMA when you can have someone else do it for you. But that's just my opinion.

Nobody here is saying make the weapons buyable. Idea is to make them tradable. So only people who have ACUIRED (not earned) said weapons can trade them for OTHER said weapons. They will still be BIND ON PICKUP. Not sellable. Tradable.
Traaaaaaaaaaadddaaaaaaabbbbllle...

Making Maelstrom weapons tradable would mean they have to implement trade restrictions to make sure that only those are being traded which is pointless work. So once again I believe they wont make them tradable which is a good thing because once again it would eliminate the purpose of running VMA.

You can get a lot of gold doing it for people who don't want to, whole world economics is based on that.

Trading is a bad idea, however a loot system that rewards effort is a better one. Guarantee us a weapon after X number of runs.

You can even make it lore-friendly, get the bosses to drop a "Fragment of the Maelstrom" and you need, say, 100 Fragments to get a second quest where you need to kill the last boss who drops a "Merethic Maelstrom Resin" and you combine your fragments + resin into the weapon of your choosing.
