    I personally hope they don't. Vma is challenging content and the weapons are the reward and a sign of prestige. It would be like if they started offering achievement skin look-alikes in the crown store.

    Oh wait...

    yeah true.

    they used to be the most coveted and farmed weapons in the game- now zos has made them easy to get, easy to trait change, and other than as a backbar weapon- not nearly as awesome as it was. i remember being overjoyed at my first sharp inferno-

    This misconception is so incredibly common, though I can hardly blame people since folks don't see Maelstrom items that frequently. I fully support your proposal!

    "The weapons are a reward and a sign of prestiege"

    They shouldn't be. Anything that has any effect on the meta shouldn't be a sign of prestiege. Status symbols need to be kept purely to cosmetics, period.

    Maelstrom weapons are dwarven items but are not part of the dwarves motif style. The motif style is literally the limbs of automatons

    And yet, I disguise mine with costume staves because I think the staves look like B movie sci-fi buttplugs.

    Oh laawdy! *fans forehead
