Can we please get a currency system for vMA? Randomness is off-putting and frustrating

As someone who has 3 stamina toons and has seen one bow drop in - oh I don't know - 50ish runs...

Can we please have some sort of currency system for vMA so we don't have to spend an eternity in it?

vMA is awesome content, but when you're left feeling gimped because you can't get a bow to drop after 50 times clearing, it just turns into frustration.

So, my proposal, and it doesn't have to be specifically this one, but something of the sort:

- every time you clear vMA you get a medal / token

- merchant outside sells a weapon with a random trait for (let's say) 10/15 medals /tokens (15 may already be a bit much)

So, you clear vMA 10-15 times, you can afford one weapon of your choosing and then you use 50 transmute crystals on it to get the right trait.

I think it'd be fair and would not belittle the effort and time you have to put in to vMA to learn in the first place, while giving a goal in mind for people other than simple randomness.

Please?

    Agreed OP. I've known some that have gone through it more than that, yet have still not gotten an inferno staff etc.

    Exactly. What they do not realize is that a token system they suggest is how many times they would have to clear vMA to get enough tokens.

    Clearly not someone who raided vMA back before we could change traits. 100 runs and we could still be without a usable weapon.

    Don't you know the *magic* trick? Don't play on a stamina character if you want stamina loot.

    I'm not against, though I think 15 is a bit on the low side. And yes, I farmed all my weapons before transmutation and when there was one trait to rule them all. I just see no reason for new players to grind old content til they wanna shove their keyboard/controller through their face.

    Awesome idea.

    It's old content now so could do with a bit of reinvigoration.

    Or you could perhaps trade in the weapon you receive for the token. Or choose between a token and the random weapon drop. So if you get lucky and get it on your first run, well great. If not, hey, you still can look at the light at the end of the tunnel and know that you will get it eventually. It doesn't have to be token or nothing so you HAVE to run vMA x amount of times. That said, should it work this way I've proposed, I do feel 15 might be a little low if you're getting a weapon and a token.

    lol, the key to arousing the RNG gods is to clear on the opposite attribute based character. My inferno came from a stam DK and my bow came from a magicka sorc :p .

    They could give away flying narwhal mounts, and I'd still never go back to vMA!
