You can still sell VW drops, but its more of a hassle. Have someone pay you up front, let them into ally, and if they show the item didnt drop, refund em.

I'm aware SE made VW like it is to combat people selling gear (protip, lots of non RMT do it as well), they tried with salvage (instanced event, potential item buyer would have to attend runs since theres no way to wait on the outside without entering), they tried with Einherjar (once you leave the chamber, you lose your treasure pool, so no outside lotters can join up)...and theyre trying with this. IMO its a good effort, since its a LOT harder to sell gear this way, but as I said, not impossible...and the drawback is there is gear that is dropping to people who dont want/have no use for it.

I dont see why SE just didnt go with a points system for T4 NM's if their intention was to combat selling gear. Give all the bosses their own points system, since theyre the only one with r/e loot that people would care for, build up your red/blue lights for the credits, and then let the people who want the item be able to get them. It's already disheartening and very discouraging to go 0/100 on a drop (Salvage was notorious for upsetting people), but to then hear how someones mule has gotten two when they cant even use it really makes people not even want to participate in content.
