Today is 99% of all great armor parts given because of MA:s events.
The only thing I got out of an event, that I still have, is my Pixie SGA glove (which statwise is below Adj Pixie, which I got a set of when I graduated). When fresco was released, I got an eon armguard which was a discovery. The negative part was that it was (M) and not (F). And, it was (L). In other words, not a keeper.
Besides from that I haven't gotten any special handout. My plasma rifle "marber sga guide ed" I bought from auction by selling my fox ME and putting things in a bank for the difference. (I wasn't selected to be in the exclusive sga guide group, so no armor either for me.)
My skills and gear was a bit too bad to have any real luck in first robot event where it was enough to loot that secret robot transmitter for PoE, and the other events like that not only you had to get a "banana" but if you got one you also needed PEDs to get the other parts. (Well, I wasn't lucky to get any `banan` either).
When robots/eviscerators came to emerald lakes (vu 9), the one who got the first Dragons Breath sword got it 100m from me.
I sort'a been lucky: I was in the crowd who got the 70k rextellum. My part of it was only 2.3k or something like that - no item just oils for me. Someone who used a better weapon than me got 7k or so which would have been a more normal loot for someone with normal weapons - again, my weapons are in terms of dmg/sec at around level 20...
No, I haven't gotten anything from last WoF either.. (though I'm happy you have gotten the jackets I still haven't gotten any good reply on my support ticket.)
About 98% of what I use ingame comes from auction. From deposited money.
