High TT Unlimited Weapons. Reason ?

[Dom_sufc]

Well Its been brought up briefly in a few of the loot threads, but I thought Id start this one so we can have a proper discussion without the fear of being locked.

I have thought about It, and cannot think of any reasons why MA give these high TT. Such as 8k for the recently looted Isis UL.

There are the obvious reasons "To make It look good"; being uber rare and all, but I believe there Is a more thought out reason behind It.

Do any of you clever folk out there have any theories? It would make an Interesting read, I think!

Dunno if the 50% rule still counts, but if so, that would be the reason IMO. It is in MA's interest to have PEDs stuck in TT value.

Higher the tt the more people have to deposit to buy the weapon. Then again you have to assume the person getting the peds will use them and not withdraw. If the peds are withdrawn MA does not have more cash ingame due to the weapons sale. Still a high tt weapon also helps raise markup and uberness since a 2ped unlimited weapon would not be good for longer hunts, where a 80ped one would be better and a 800ped one amazing.

Thats for TT weapons only. At least thats the Impression I got...

the 50% limit is still there and its really annoying. its a disadvantage coupled with having ultra high tt values because even if you don't keep it fully repaired, you still lock up half your money for no good reason. its quite worrying to me. god knows how neo feels about it, damn terminator

He's probably happy to not have to repair it every hour.

[andyzammy]

the repair thing got me thinking.

i've read here that a long time ago, MA made a VU that upgraded itamz to ancient if they have never been repaired before.

maybe they're trying to do the same thing with these? it would make sense on somthing like the terminator, with ~20k tt value. but then i suppose it wouldn't make sense in that neo will have used it so much and needed to have repaired it 10k times

well a possible reason would be that with a high tt it would require a big loot (rare) for it to drop even if hunted hardcore by alot of players this way they can avoid the likes of the im2870 scandal we had years ago when 7 or so dropped from snables in one day

In combination with the 50% limit, to "store" PED's ingame.

Why? Maybe the 50% TT value is more or less inoperative and can not used in other ways, like for ammo and consequential possible loots (though theoretical you could TT the remaining 50%...).
So, it's somehow "secure" for MA to have at least useless 50% which can not be used (besides TTing)?
If TT'd and cashed out, MA's money will be gone. In an other possible case (according to the EULA), the PED's will vanish and if not cashed out by time, the deposited money stays at MA.
Or should it boost the virtual net worth of EU?

Did I messed up something? I guess...

However, just some weird cogitations...

edit:

lol, too late with some thoughts. but some other interesting ones there too...
