Suggestion: Exchange the Perma-Weapon Vendor for a Weapon Skin Vendor
Implementation: Remove the Perma-Weapon Vendor and all associated weapons from the Server. Replace it with weapon skins you can purchase for in-game credits. All credits that were spent on Perma-Weapons would be returned to everyone who that applies to.
Lore: No really a lore base suggestion, but here are some points of discussion;
One of the biggest reasons to remove the Vendor and all associated weapons is the constant issues that the LD-1 and the Flamethrowers cause. People(usually event jobs/Sith) constantly complain about everyone having super strong snipers and events being ruined by Flamethrowers. Another thing to consider, since the damage drop-off is being removed the LD-1 would be doing 400 damage (give or take a few points) from across the map. That might sound fun at first, but with the amount of people that have the LD-1 on the server, it’s going to go south very quickly.
The next biggest point of contention is that some of the weapons in the vendor, such as the vast array of snipers and other heavy weaponry, make class specializations on the server pretty pointless. What’s the point of becoming a sharpshooter in a battalion if the normal, run-of-the-mill trooper in your same battalion can have an LD-1, which probably makes your gun pretty useless to begin with? The only specialization that is really unaffected by this is medics, since you can’t but any bacta-kita or nades from the Vendor.
Yes, this means that everyone would lose ALL Perma-Weapons that are currently offered from the Vendor. This, at face value, would make people mad, and understandably so. Some people have spent real money for credits on the server. The credits that you have spent on Perma-Weapons would be refunded in full, and you would (probably) be able to buy any or all fo the skins that are offered in the shop. This is a tough sell, but I really believe it’s for the betterment of the server.
If you have any suggestions for any skins, be it weapons or knifes, you can put it in the comments, or if this suggestion passes make another suggestion to add them.
