I love the Black Eagle, but it really is just a trophy.
The fact that I cannot replenish/replace it makes it a USELESS trophy.
If we were present for the event, and we got the item as a reward, then access to repurchase it should be ours exclusively, at least until the next event, where more people could potentially get access to it.
For now, it takes up space.
I'm not against BPOs being permanent "coupons" of some sort, but the price reduction given from them should be substantial (greater than 50%) for their equivalent item in the market.

Personally, I'm ok with this.
Well, I'm not ok with this.
It's an annoyance to have something you can't make reasonable use of. If I have a "trophy" for participation in some event, then I should be able to show it off in a match indefinitely provided i'm willing to pay the price. How else am I going to be able to show-it-off, if it's in constant danger of permanent, irreplaceable loss? |

Necroing this thread.
Okay. For everyone saying that "collectibles' would be valuable... one question.
Why?
I'm going to trade a suit, that will never be used, because it's totally useless on the battlefield, and it's limited in quantity.
DO NOT compare the collectibles to officer weapons. Officer weapons have obvious superiority on the battlefield, and that makes their deployment a solid and sound tactical risk.
Collectibles do not. They don't even work as a troll, and there's no benefit to bothering to kill someone using it, since you can't get it from them as salvage anyway.
All that considered... what makes you think these things will have *ANY* value as a traded commodity?
Even collectible and antique cars can be driven, and if you wreck them, there is always a way to perform repairs.
By comparison, these "prize" dropsuits are totally useless garbage if they remain irreplaceable.
Give me some logic. Give some real logic beyond sentimentality why these collectibles should continue to be as they are. |

You can. :)
They are forever in your list of dropsuits.
Starter Fits are the only ones of their kind. "BPO Sets". They come with their own infinite weapons and modules, just like the Black Eagle suit and others...
Only difference? Starter fits are infinite.
Is it so hard to make the collectibles function exactly like the starter fits?
I think not. |
