I just would say be careful what you wish with these type threads . They may do BOE , token or something similar with a new DLC patch and just nerf it to were it's useless. And replacing it with another grind that's not BOE or token .
Tokens already exist with sets with AP vendors , ICP vendors. No BIS there Maelstrom weapons would be mediocre if they did it. Nerf hammer to all
I don't agree that someone who hasn't done vMA should have the weapons. If you want to go the tradable route, make them tradable only with those that have completed vMA.
Alternatively a token system so if you're farming for a particular weapon you know if you trade in what you get you'll be able to get said weapon in 100 runs or something like that.
Remove all the trash traits from the drop table. This is suppose to be the most difficult solo content in the game, don't spit on our faces with ***-poor rewards.
With the removal of terrible traits the RNG chances of getting what you want will go up at an exponential rate. Which could remove a lot of the complaining. Also it doesn't interfere with all of the other complainers who like to take the standpoint of "vMA loot shouldn't be tradable to people who can't even do the content!".
Better yet, remove all of the terrible traits from the drop table AND make it all tradable.
