Sincerely, i wish Devs increase drop rate even without an event, after all when you salvage them you only get 3 of them, 3 deaths are not so much in a FPS. Damn, it's hard to get even normal salvage...  remember when we used to get 10 officer weapons per drop? i miss the old loot drop rate. now i'm lucky to get any despite being in top 5 most matches and if i do it tends to be an AV nade whooo-hooo!!
The loot drop system is really very random and very annoying too (outside of FW anyway). I have had officer weapons as salvage in games where I AFKd the whole match 
Over the last week I have been getting at least 3 drops per day when normally I only see one every few weeks or so. Is it just me? Another person said that they have started getting only officer weapons in salvage and never anything else, and have now built up 100s of Balac's ARs, although I'm sceptical about his honesty.

If only we could sell the officer weapons and AURUM weapons to the NPC Vendor in 1.9 and have them appear on the marketplace for other players to buy (under a new section called "Returned Items"). We wouldn't be able to set prices but it'd be a nice little by-proxy player market.
OR
All items sold to an NPC vendor could go on this tab and be resold at 75% of the items' normal cost, whereas the original seller would get 50% of the items' value. This would create a small ISK sink, and hopefully dissuade those intent on buying and selling AUR weapons. I believe that not enough items are salvaged to cause any worry here - there will only ever be certain amounts of "returned items" to purchase so it shouldn't result in a drop in normal market sales. It could result in a lot of market-watching though, lol.

I'm glad you agree

If you haven't seen post #63 - proposing a repurchase option allowing players to buy secondhand items (incl. officer weapons) from the market - go check it out and show your support.
Face it, there's never gonna be a player market, so this is the next best thing. Rattati seems to like the idea, so maybe if there's enough supoort it will come to fruition. Then I could buy some more of my favourite toys
