There will be, and there are, quality weapons already in shop and people, or most people, don't bother with them. The true way to obtain weapons via cash is through trading and from the players who put blood and sweat into obtaining these items, the players who put blood and sweat in getting cash can seek to trade.
Era is meant to be a community, so anything that promotes interaction between players, I tend be favorable of. These guns put more people in events, more significance to events, and, finally, facilitate interaction through trading. They're not the be all end all as far as being "purposeful," but every little bit counts. Y'know?

Yeah, I get what you're trying to do, and I think it's a worthwhile goal.
My thoughts about it obviously only apply to me and maybe a few other people who view it the same as I do.
Basically, I play events for fun, not for items, and then I'll check my ECs every few months and see what I can buy.
But I'm sure there are people who play events solely to get ECs to buy items with XD
I just don't get that lol
I think an alternative way to increase event activity would be to add new events, maybe modify existing ones to be more fun.
But one idea that I pitched to Chris Vimes a long time ago was the ability to have multiple events going at once. Like you could host PK and non-PK events at the same time to cater to everyone.
(It would also simplify the lives of ETs, since they wouldn't have to worry about hosting over someone else)
