They weren't UW though, cannot be combined for higher rank.
I say reactivate the event after fixing bugs and let the goblin weapons drop lvl 5-9 only. Do a toon check so toons don't end up with weapons they can't use. It's fun and badass and I never agreed with folks who don't like big items at events - although I do agree 10+ gob weap is way too much. These weapons cannot be upgraded and are very rare. If it makes folks feel better remove the stats and the ultimate aug slots or something but leave the white.
Which is more fun, nothing drops boring event same old stuff or we get some cool drops? I really enjoyed the Xmas event last year just wish all my boxes didn't vanish.
That's why I said they were UW like, but I should have hyphenated it. The stats were pretty crazy, and the drop rate was better than very rare. I was helping someone through T2, and by doing the event, they had a better weapon than I had by just opening a box, while I had to grind for a crazy amount of time (Think I was at UW5 or so at this point). My paladin got a level 7 weapon that has 55k base damage and other crazy stats. I'm not bitter or jealous, it just boggles my mind that these kinds of weapons would be relatively accessible by random chance via Monty Hall. That player I was helping went banana's when they could use that weapon, and has since not been on for some time.
The event itself was fun, and I enjoy running around as a gingerbread man, confusing the newer players on how to obtain one. The nexus slaughter was also fun when the lag wasn't ball-crushingly awful. If the weapons were better than their respective tier, and less than the equivalent UW, I wouldn't have an issue with the drops. The augs were really good too, and the caster augs were a nice, exclusive incentive to participate.
