This is more like a ...... than a suggestion since I'm pretty sure they won't add something like this....
What if we can rent weapons from other players?
A little similar to how AH works, there's a place where we can drop our bounded weapons to be available for rent by other players.
- Just like AH, there's a bid and rent-out price (hourly) that owners can set.
- Only a maximum of 2 weapons can be rented at a time.
- A weapon can be rented for a minimum of 1 hour and maximum of 48 hours.
- Once a weapon is dropped to be rent, the owner can't use it but he can cancel it as long as there's still no bids.
- When the duration expires, the player who rented it can't rent the same weapon for 6 hours.
- Weapons are required to be lvl 10.
- Rented weapons cannot be upgraded, cannot add/remove UVs, and cannot be unbounded.
- Rented weapons have 5% less Dmg
- Just like AH, there's a listing fee (depending on the bid price and star quality). Listing price is different from AH.
- Unlike AH, items will remain there for unlimited time until the player withraws it, listing fee will be charged every 96 hours.
- Owners can set on how many times a listed weapon can be rented before the item returns to the owner's inventory.
- Upon expiration, the weapon will return to the weapon-for-rent list
- Only a maximum of 3 weapons(per player) can be dropped for rent
- When a player is inspected, the rented weapons will always be visible in the load-out (even when allow full-inspect is off) and the word "(rented)" will appear beside the weapon's name to inform the other players that the weapon was just rented. The duration left before expiry can also be seen by other players.
i think this would be a great thing to try out. if players want to try out something before they buy it, they can go and rent it and try it out and see if they like it or not. kind of like the real world where you can go see reviews or go to someone who has something and try it out for yourself.
