I always made the MVP/EC weapons untradable cause I disliked the occurrences when people (namely Seth/Sebastien) abused events (namely races at 3am) to get insane amounts of EC.. and sold Bows/LS/Flaks for mini fortunes in a matter of weeks.

A smaller issue happened when Samurai swords came out, but they're less popular than the EC items were and MVP are harder to get so that was fine.

When MVP guns came out I made sure to make them untradable. The goal is to earn something unique... when people see someone with a Vector I wanted them to know "That guy was a 20 time MVP he must be pretty good." etc. Also collecting the set was a sweet bonus.

I did the same when we released the EC items. Somebody, somewhere changed this at some point. And it's honestly too late now (These guns shouldn't even be available anymore, the shop was supposed to rotate stocks bi-yearly and only stock 3 of each one.. which would in theory make trading them less of an issue).

Mp5 SD was another anomaly.. someone just threw it in the shop and it kept getting stocked. I like how Zao approached the issue after I brought it up to him, giving a deadline to trade then making them untradable again. He stocked one for me to buy too, as long as I didn't trade it before the deadline. This is hardly abuse, as you said we earned the coins and wanted our prizes... but waiting a few weeks or not to get them was nbd really.

Just make them all untradable.
