Player run markets help drive the game content and impacts the battle. I like player driven markets, and the potential changes that they bring to how people play the game. |

You die a lot more in PC. Two similar skilled teams against each other with massive lag medium.... Its matchmaking at its best...
You loose less officer weapon's in PUB's not to mention you get a lineup of red thing's that come to try and kill you.
But the benefit to running officer weapons in PUB's is simple. Salvage.
The amount of players that can get an officer weapon when lost in a PUB outside the small niche group that has them all.... is Pub's and killing them... It spread's the wealth.... |

Hey, I join an ambush with my full squad and am pretty sure we'll stomp on everyone, so I bust out a Balac's to ensure someone goes on the forums to cry about it. |

I've gotten officer loot for being borderline useless in a match and haven't gotten **** for getting 4400 WP in a match.
I think I remember them saying that the salvage system was being changed as to not depreciate the value of officer loot and as a temporary measure until they work out a better salvage system. |

Lol, I have over 30 of each officer weapon (because of chromosome), and still use the officer sniper rifle and forge gun, only to destroy large amounts of isk from other people.
People that claim that you are "pathetic" for using an officer weapon, typically don't encompass many variables with their mind, or don't have the intrinsic ability to comprehend them either, so they either spite out of jealousy or anger due to not being able to use them or being completely decimated by them.
So far, I've only lost a few out of the 200+ total officer weapons I have (everything from pistol, to AR, to Forge Gun and HMG).
Feels good having this many officer weapons; too bad I don't have as much as I do tears of other players, which, judging by this thread (and Dust 514 forums in general) there is just plenty to be had! |

He was using a Thale's, couldn't have gotten more than six kills before I killed him and his precious proto suit and officer weapon in two shots. |

Agreed. I can tell you this; I used to kill officers with militia rifles back when I didn't have the SP put into sniper rifles to use Officer, and I have to say that the excitement you get from killing someone with an Officer weapon is so much more invigorating than using an officer weapon to kill someone. |

I have 50 of all the officer weapons, I don't have the skills to use them so they are collecting up in my inventory... no doubt when player trading comes, il sell them for a high price.
I even found an equipment that has the same name as me lol. |

When I need ISK to run tanks I play a couple ambushes I run starter fits and I just love the feeling of killing a proto at no personal cost. Got three Wolfman's one round running only militia starter fits. |

I'll tell you this much. When I die to an officer weapon in a public match, my first thought is: "That guy needs to lose that." So I do what I can to make sure they do. I have orbitalled a single sniper in the mountains because he had a Thale's. I also utterly FAILED to kill Boba Fett when he was maiming my team with a Balac's AR.
Come to think of it, that's probably why they did it. |

One of the two times I've encountered an officer weapon in a pub (which is weird, because I should have encountered more considering how much I've played) and I came across some TP solo-ing in an Ambush pub. The match was barely underway, he was using Balac's and you could clearly tell he was using kb&m. He shot me, I saw that he was 16-0, so I turned on my SCR and stood right in-front of him and charged shot him in the head, lol... look in the upper right "so&so has left battle..."
To use an Officer in a pub is a crutch. It will NOT net you anymore kills than it's common counterparts. |

They have their place and that place is wherever their respective owners decide to field them.
<- Hoarding for the inevitable player driven market, where the elites with crap tons of isk will be willing to shell out millions per weapon.
2 mil/ weapon will probably be a steal. We will have to see the market metrics after the first few weeks of implementation, but I'm thinking the moving price will be 10 mil for the assault class weapons and ~5m for the support class (Thales) |

Rare-ish is not a word to describe it. I have been playing since chromosome and i have only found 10 of the officer weapons i can use. I've asked ccp how it works and they refuse to answer so good luck. |

A player controlled market is not a bad idea, and if you were to sell anything for 2 mil each then only someone with 100 mil+ ISK would buy them from you, IMO. That's what I would do, anyways. I used a Krin's the other day, and I don't give a crap what you think, it was awesome. I'm not using any Balac's until I get a little bit better at the game, but I have plenty of Krin's, and it's basically a Duvolle with half a clip more. |
