This whole loot issue seems to go in a constant circle where people ask for the ability to pass the weapons but others respond with but that's why they added totems, then another person ask why can't we pass weapons and another person says taht's why they added totems, then another person ask why can't we pass weapons and another person says that's why they added totems.. can you see how this starts to become redundant.

They have already already already said they have no plans to change it, they have already said that's why they added totems and by changing the ability to pass weapons they would also have to change the drop rate. It just isn't worth it, just be persistent if you really want it your time will come and if you want the system to work then make sure you have friends who are willing to pass totems to you if they have already gotten the weapon they wanted and are willing to help cause in the end that's what they're there for, to help your fellow comrade. The ability to pass both would just eliminate the purpose as to why they added totems lol.
