My reason being: If I were to play and win 750 events in a row, that would be 62.5 hours (assuming 5 mins per event on average). If I were to spend that amount of time making money, that would be 375k, assuming I can make 6k an hour from mining or trashpicking. If you only win 1 in every 10 events you play, that would be enough time to make 3.75 mil. So the time investment isn't really worth it.

3. Event items have traditionally been novelty items, or at the very least, non-standard weapons like the flak, bow, light saber, etc.
I think there are a few reasons why that's a good idea:
*Event guns don't use cash as an initial currency, thus the street prices can fluctuate wildly.
*Guns sold in normal shops have a maximum and minimum street price.
*Guns sold in normal shops can be sold back to the pawn shop.
i like the fact that there are good but not OP guns in the event shop for a very high price.
you're not considering that playing (pk) events is fun, as opposed to working
plus u get double the ecs you used to get in events before and there are way more events than there used to be
