What's the big deal? Why does anyone care about what color the weapon is? I would gladly buy a blue weapon over a gold weapon with the same stats.

They figure some gold coloured pixels will make them 'uber'. Some people just need to think they have a bigger e-penis. *shrug*

Nice sweeping generalization there trickfred. You sure have us all figgerd out. Hyuk!

I solo almost exclusively and I never show my weapons to anyone, so why do I prefer gold over purple, blue, or green? Care to answer for me?

Golds have a greater range fo skins than collector/crafter items and greens dont need to be modded, so you have a choice of nicer skin or free mods. collector/crafter items have a standard skin and still need to be modded.

Maybe people would start using blue weapons too if they ever dropped with maximum stats/mods

But the weapon's color shows it's rarity, and more often than not the quality of it's mods too. Perhaps it makes people feel warm and fuzzy inside to carry around the rarer versions of the weapons even if the purple one's can drop in maximum damage variety and can be modded with maximum mods.

Lol Grace, I kinda doubt we feel warm inside when we carry golds around.

I use gold because the purple is a gay color.

Pink <gay than purple? I agree with the OP though, if they have the same stats, I dont care what it looks like. Funtionality > appearance.

If it doesn't matter to you, why start a topic about it?
