Oh i understand that just fine. Still doesnt really help my situation. My LS does VNM as an afterthought, most "new" VNM groups are pretty bad and wipe to T2s. The groups capable of pwning T3s are usually tied to another LS (like mine) and wont let me join just 1 event. Pickup groups i wont dare trust my hard earned T3 pop for a likely wipe and loose it. I actually have run into 1 merc LS that sells for 500k per trophy....but ill pass on 5 mil to cover one stage of one weapon.
Its a long shot but im pretty much out of options unless i wait for my LS to get around to it and i might finish one weapon be the end of the year.....
