It dosnt seem "fair" to me that we have to pay for weapons for our heros. they take drops in combat, what are they doing with their money?
I would love to see a system to acquire hero weapons similar to the pvp-equipment-creation screen. mabye earning something like "hero credits" to creat weapons and mabye runes and inscriptions for them.
im just getting tired of running to every collector in cantha for weapons for my heroes.
Hero weapons?
Coloneh
-.-
Its not like the are demanding you to pimp them up. Just stick on some white items you find from a random monster caresses and they will be ready to roll.
Coloneh
im not saying its a big deal, but maybe heros should take less drops then henchmen, it just dosnt make much sense.
Cherno
Why do you have to pay for them? I have an entire mule character loaded with hero quality golds. I have a done of greens and perfect req9s that I could give them instead and I didn't pay for a single one. Many of the items you get from the keyless (read free) chests are perfect for hero equips.
Coloneh
I dont think you see my point. maybe if you look at it from a storyline point of view? the heroes join the party to help out, and take their share of the spoils. what are they doing with this money? why cant they pay for their own weapons? the henchmen all do.
FoxBat
All the henchmen are using something close to white weapons. They didn't pay anything significant for them.

seriously though, they take their share of the loot just like henches or real people in your party do. it makes perfect sense to me
EiS

I thought that for awhile also, but... heroes do far more (with a decent build) to help you acquire wealth than henchies, do exactly what you tell them to do and dont complain (except Norgu and only then about the food). The flag system and free chests more than make up for anything they 'steal' from us.

LOL, I just posted a similiar message in a different forum. I didn't see yours first. Yeah, I know that we don't have to give the heroes the most expensive stuff, but it does seem that they should be able to afford their own weapons. Or at least an auto upgrade to the best weapon the town crafter has to offer once you warp into town.
Just what are they doing with all that gold anyways? If I see the drunkard title pop up under Koss's name I'm gonna get suspicious.

I know what your saying, I have all 10 chars with all heros (except rit) and there are alot of mouths to feed. I ended up farming greens for them all. Didnt cost anything but time, alot of time. I agree, the heros drops should go to you. In a pug or when you use henchies you dont buy them runes, inscriptions, or weapons they have there own already so it makes sense you dont see those drops. The heros you get them everthing but the armor itself (unless you get stolen stuff in challenge mish's). It would be cool to get there drops too

By the way, I'd say they are spending their money at the skill trader, since they get to use your unlocked skills for "free"...
crimsonfilms
Having not a horrible elite and build like henchmen, I would gladly pay for anything that Koss or other heroes want/need.

Different perspective: the heroes' weapon slots = extra storage spaces.
(And as an aside...one of my Koss heroes is using a max req12 fellblade too lol).

erm...stop whining. A goodly portion of drops aren't worth selling but are useable with a tweek here and there. Is it really so hard to equip your heroes with reasonably good drops? Heroes were billed as customizable NPC's. Meaning you kinda have to customize them to get the most out of them. Something like "Hero Credits" would undoubtedly be tied to leveling up. At level 20 that takes a bit of time if you don't frequent high-level areas. Anyway, there probably wouldn't be any max weapons at these Hero Weapon NPCs so what would be the point?

Putting collectors' weapons on your characters is paying for them, because you have to get the materials for them. That's a percentage of your drops, going to heroes. If it was just that the heroes' items went up to max (with an inscription slot - pretty much how their armor works), I don't think anyone would have a problem with them. If you wanted a nonstandard build/item for them, you could change them yourself. As it is, they take a percentage of your drops, but to make them any better than henchmen you have to invest more into them.
That said, I think the benefit of heroes outweighs the cost of maintaining them (bearing in mind the statement in the beginning that even if you just give them dropped items, there is still a cost because you're not just selling those items), because you become much more effective with those three heroes in a zone than with henchmen. So, I don't mind it.

I think making it like for example, you can use the skills you unlocked in pvp on heroes, so why not be able to use runes/weapons etc that you've unlocked too? I mean, pvp skins aren't vanity skins anyway.

I thought someone necroed a thread from 2 months ago.
Look at it this way. If heroes are too expensive to equip, play with PUGs, those players gather their own equipment.
Scary, isn't it.
Heroes don't need perfect weapons. They do just fine with weapons they come with. Zhed never complains and never has a problem with his starter water staff while spamming Searing flames.

i see heroes as another form of storage.. and many of my heroes are equipped with gold drops and green drops that ive been collecting since i started playing GW and the same goes for all my runes.. lol had two character mules for runes.. yes i am a packrat.. and eesh with the prices of certain runes nowadays im glad that ive kept em.. + it's cool to see my dudes equipped with these weaps that i hardly use. So for a new player or whatever that have to pay for hero weaps sucks but all i can say is play play play.. rinse and repeat.. soon ull have a nice collection of goodies..
Morgenstern
Maybe they "spend" their money on their armour that upgrades every level... And who really cares, I gave my heros the drops I got from the free chests and 5 mins worth of chest running, hell my Koss uses my old Req 10 Crystalline. I dont think it makes that much a difference as their builds own hench builds anyway
jak deth
heros are good to store all your gold/grn weapons on. two fold advantage if you trick em ont w/ runes and good skills 
I have a zhed w/ sf and love to watch him fry em up.

on a side note i feel as though my hero's are a part of my character and grind for perfect mods and skins for them to show off to my friends. personally i agree they could use the weapons they come with and i only change them to make them look as good as my character.
Olorin812
another one of these threads eh?
oh why do heros have to be sooo expensive? why do they have to take share of the drops? why why why!
get over it. like so many before me just throw on some white max dmg weapoin with mods you scrap off something..you dont have to havereq 7 elemental swords for all your warriors or other melee classes

using your drops is taking your money, thats my point. why cant they use their own money? they earn just as much as us.

Well if heros can use all of the skills unlocked in pvp, why not have them use the pvp equipment tab too? Makes perfect sense to me.
