They are several weapons that you will not find in the z-chest that only drop in Factions. I would like to see a change where locked chest in Factions drop inscribable weapons.

As for FoW & UW & Prophecies unique weapons all of those drop in Nightfall with inscription slots so no update is needed in Prophecies.

We have a system used by less than 25% of the people in more than 50% of the game.

That's reason enough to do the change. All that's left it's how to do the change.

As I've said many times before, I'm not just saying that inscriptions must be added plain as they are to the whole game, but since all campaigns are part of the same game, it's game-breaking to have different systems in the totality of two campaigns.

Whatever the system is, it must be the same in the whole game to prevent that.

No thx, non-inscribable weapons have their Charm... No need for inscribable versions of them...

I'm happy to pay more for an item just for it being Original, instead of a lame copy. Lots of other players do that aswell, which makes them simply worth more.

Voltaic Spear examples in this thread are terrible.
VS is expensive because it's both rare and more importantly it's
If there were Non-inscribable Voltaic Spears they would be worth MORE than current insc, if having good mods. And if ALL VS in existance dropped only Non-insc the +5Energy ones would be worth above 500 ectos, at the current overfarm level.

Another example for you:
There's an Original Canthan req.9 Emblazoned Defender +30/-5 (20%) for sale in High-End forum, last time I've checked the bids got above 150ectos and will probably go even higher. It's a very valuable rarity. For a contrast: I have an IDENTICAL copy of this shield, exact same stats, also req.9tac, but with 1 exception - it's inscribable, which makes it close to WORTHLESS, because it's so LAME.

And if the poll shows something it's that: There's a *significant* part of the playerbase that enjoys the cool oldschool weapons and don't want them to replaced by lame insc shit.
There has to be a REALLY STRONG REASON to make a big game change that would take away a great fun part from the significant oldschool fanbase.

And if I wanted the value of non-insc to go up I would support this change - Items that no longer drop only go up! I don't want that.

It's exactly opposite - I want them to stay because I LOVE BEING ABLE TO FIND THEM!

seeing as there is no reasoning with you i have already stated my point of view your stubern to think that that is true and i for one will never ever buy a non inscribe able item. they are close to worthless in my book. and you should learn to read i see 60% of people approving of this.

Also i would like to point out you can get any skin from the Zchest and have it be inscribe able as other people have pointed out above me.

But to do so, you have to trade with other characters using the slow and flawed trading system, or leaving the game and using external systems to trade.

Trading should be an option, not a requirement. Anyone should be able to get inscribed anything that drops in normal areas playing normally without having to resource to reward chests. Specially when it comes to commons drops like Jade and Amber weapons, that Echovald and Jade Sea monsters spit as if they were made out of those things.

But the Inscription system it's the core system now, and everyone should have the right to find items with similar characteristics and upgrades they can use in any campaign regardless of the campaign the items come from.

How do a Prophecies+Factions-only player upgrades BMP items without going to elite missions or trading with others?
Nightfall and Eye of the North player can. Why not Prophecies and Factions? Without a weapon upgrade trader, that's plain impossible.

Although I think the old system should be no more and all items upgrade to the new, I'm not asking for that here. My main point is to make the drop system the same in all campaigns and the expansion, make it more equitable, not 50% of the game using a drop system used by 20% of the players, regardless of how much are they traded or they value.
80% of the players have 20k in storage, remember?
