I still like the carnival game scenario. Each completion you get a random drop just like now. Traits would need to be divided into tiers. You get let's say three prosperous and two training inferno staves so a total of five tier one staves. You can trade those five in for a tier two stave. Five tier two staves (pulling numbers out of my ...) and you can trade for a tier three. Five tier three and you get the grand prize staff! Of course there is that little tiny chance you get that grand prize on each run but if all you are getting are the little plastic mustaches you get the chance to trade them in for a slide whistle.

This still means a whole lotta runs but at least you know eventually you will get what you want. This keeps getting what you want hard enough that the desired weapons do not become common place.

when did they add prosperous to weapons?
and training to the VMA drop loot?

Was just examples without much thought to actual traits to get the idea across. Pick the most crap trait you can think of and substitute that in each time you see prosperous or training if it helps.

my post was meant to be a lighthearted joke - you appear deffensive though so....

didn't mean to appear that way. Sometimes the way it sounds in my head doesn't come off so well when typed out. Nothing I do in these forums is serious other than wanting to be able to in some way or form to use one of the many styles I know on dropped pieces. I am serious about wanting that.

Just make them tradeable and be done with it. Give players who like maelstrom the ability to make some cash. It would boost the overall economy of eso and make maelstrom not a drag for people who dont want to run it but want the weapons. Theres no shame in buying a weapon off someone who completed the content.

You could lock selling maelstrom to Wrothgar guild vendors. Which would still leave those weapons locked to the content and make the guild vendors there more popular but also require eso+ or the dlc so zos doesn't loose money.

Sure, why not? It would interesting to see the panic on big name guild traders faces when they rush that area

5 runs for a guaranteed weapon? Nobody would random roll because 5 runs is super easy...

Not for mostly everyone (especially after morrowind)you less than 1% er, if you are that good than you deserve to get it and be done,

People said the same thing before MW. Scores have barely changed, leaderboards are just as full. If you are too bad now, you have always been that way. It is also incredibly easy if you use sigils. If you are spamming for weapons, use them

Definitely not. Some things need to be behind a skill wall.

That doesn't mean they need to be behind an RNG wall though. I'm completely against RNG mechanics in games. A token system is a perfect solution with zero drawbacks.

Token system would work for me. I don't mind doing vMA a few times, but repeating the same content over and over and over until I get the stats I want is about as interesting as watching paint dry. That being said, I'm not bothered if they were BOE either. Whichever method stops me having to repeat the same content ad infinitum would make me happy.

Until the vendors get a wayshrine that is next to them that's a *** idea.
