Event for VIP weapons?
There are many dedicated Crossfire players that do not have the cash to buy VIP weapons. Since Crossfire first made it debut, it has been a fairly decent game, minus the overwhelming amount of hackers at times. Now, it seems, Crossfire has become a TRUE "pay to win" game. Though there are a lot of players that are able to afford VIP weapons, there are also a lot of dedicated players that do not have the extra cash to spend on a VIP weapon, or for that matter, wasting money trying to win a good ZP weapon. Let's face it, the ZP Black Market creates just does not "pay out" often enough. I do understand that Crossfire needs to make money to continue to operate, but what about the "little guy" that just can not afford a VIP weapon? Maybe make an event that gives a VIP weapon (1 -7 days), as a reward, for these dedicated players. OR..Another idea, move a few ZP Black Market weapons over to the GP side. I know there are going to be a lot of idiotic remarks to this post but, please keep them to a minimum...thx.

Giving away perm VIP weapons is not a good idea. Giving away temp VIP weapons for about 2 days would be alright like 5 times a year. Giving away temp ZP BM weapons for about 7 days....YES!
They should add a webmall 2.0
It makes me so mad that the removed it... if they made a webmall 2.0 that would change everything. -
They've done this a couple of times before but it would be nice to see it again. The longest one they did was a 30-day RPK-VIP but they did a few 1-day and 7-day AK's, plus a few people won perm AK's.
Here was the RPK event, it was pretty epic, most of the other ones required recharging/spending ZP in some way but this one was open to free players:

Here was the one with AK's, also open to free players and with a few perms given away:

Z8, stop these players from begging!
I'd generally say NO to this idea, but just the fact that every time I get in-game & newbies say "please VIB 1 rd" 24/7, I actually thought of this suggestion myself before as well.
TBH, it should be 'fairly okay' if Z8 could do an event of handing out a 7-14 days VIP weapon, at least once a year, should be good to keep these younger ones satisfied that at least they have tried these weapons, (before they start hacking with boredom/vengeance). Plus this could be good for business as certain players would probably be encouraged to buy one for themselves.
Yes VIP should be for ONLY the investors but to keep these unfortunate or undeserved kids/players much calm with the begging's in-game/forum, I think this suggestion should happen 1x annually.
If Z8 Team Decide to NOT do it, then tough luck to those who wish this happened, you guys have to respect Z8's decision(s)! -
It's like wanting to have a supercar for free for 1-7 days because you're the "little/poor" guy.
I suggested on CF stream on twitch,to give codes for 1 hour VIP's (enough with the bloody dual colts and ghost nades lol) since theres a max of 30 viewers there xD so 30 ppl with 1 hour VIP's wont hurt anyone.
edit: CFBR gaved out 2 vip's for 1 day each during the big 2.0 event,so there is hope if you want to try a VIP. -

I mostly agree with this.
But other than that, I care little about temporary stuff. -
I think at this point it's suffice to say that hackers have the same right to play this game as we do. If they were not allowed to play this game; SmileGate would've done something about it by now (like replacing xTrash)... minus the overwhelming amount of hackers .. -

Theres no need for VIPs
Seriously, they do give an advantage, but it is much more satisfying to kill a guy with all that stuff;) All you need is practice, normal M4A1 is one of the best rifles there is, and normal AWM is good as well. And it's fun to mess with people with LA swats or Spops and VIP rifles, gets them so ****ed lol
WE NEED A MELEE IN GPBM! AND BETTER COUPON REWARDS, 4 REAL -
Don't think there will be any event to win perm vips again or even temps. Even the temp rpk vip event was a bad idea cause at the time there were hackers and now in this time with some hackers slowly emerging out of the shadows will not happen.
Oh hey, two little bl00dpigs
In reply to OP:
I'm not too sure about this... There are some people who will use a gun for a day, and then decide that they've had enough of it and never touch it again. And then there are other people who will use a gun for a day, get amazing kills with it, and make it their life's ambition to get a permanent version of that gun.
Putting out temporary versions of VIPs has it's own pros and cons. I am quite indecisive on this since I can't tell what the net effect would be. -

I agree with you on this, I do not currently own one, but would like to try the M4A1 Beast for a day or two just to see if it's worth buying. To these idiots saying "Go get a Job", you are the very ones that probably get an allowance from mom or dad and have no bills to pay or kids to raise. As for as being "VIP for a Reason", just because you do have the extra cash to spend on an imaginary weapon in a game, does not make you any more important than the ones who don't. -

[MOD]Andre helped me and [GM]Saidin was ok with the idea.
However we encountered technical difficulties, and the idea was aborted.
I'd like to create a tournament with 3 VIP guns to win + ZP giveaway. And again, I need the Z8Games team to distribute the prizes. I'll see what we can do together, I'll post the thread once everything is set up.
