Will we ever see Maelstrom weapon alternatives? (It's 2018.....)

Yes, I would like to See New Alternative ( Just as Good ) Weapons as Maelstrom

Its apparent to me, many people in the eso forums do not actually read the comments after the initial post. sad community. Keep reading the same comments over and over, a lot from other threads just re-regurgitated. Many people with the wrong idea as they only half read ...if even part of the conversations taking place, or completely just re-spewing things Ive already answered over and over in the comments. Forum - a place to exchange information. You make an initial post and people inquire more about the topic if need be. 2018- Just reads part of the OP and takes it from there, ignore all future signs of sharing of information and explanation. Ahh well. enjoy people.

No, Other weapons should NEVER be as good as Maelstrom Weapons

Maelstrom makes you a better player. Learning how to work mechanics, prioritize spawns, manage resources and survive without a tank or a healer. That’s the real reward of VMA. The weapons aren’t going to make nearly the impact that learning how to play endgame content does. Any route to circumvent this is a disservice to players, wether they like it/know it or not. The weapons are just a little icing on the cake.

Anyone that can’t beat VMA has no business in vet trials. And of course if you’re not vet trial capable then you have no need for BIS gear.

While I agree with your first paragraph, have to disagree with the second. I have not beaten VMA. But I've beaten every veteran trial but VMOL and VAS, and done it without being carried. Maelstrom is hard, no doubt. But just because I can't do VMA with my stam DK doesn't mean he's a wet noodle for trials.
