I thought I had wiped that atrocious bullshit completely out of my memory! I do remember it now though, and what a complete joke it was.

Good idea, poor implementation.

After one week of aggregating weapon trends a Desert Eagle pistol would cost more than automatic sniper rifle. The system was entirely flawed, classes of weapons should have had price caps. Eg a pistol should have had a max price of $1500 (deagle would be permanently $1500 because everyone NEEDS a deagle. About a week in to it most ISPs were offering servers with DWP disabled and not long after DWP was disabled on pretty much every server. I did like the idea of DWP but it was just extremely poorly implemented.
