I remember it was Logibro that posted that BPO's were going away because they "did not work how we want them to." A lot of people were of the opinion it was because it was bad for the economy to have something that never went away.
I am curious why BPO's are coming back in and "for a limited time only." What changed exactly?

2. No player market in the foreseeable future so no future economy to harm.
3. Helps keeps the lights on and other things on Dust as does any other aurum purchases do. WHO SAID YOU COULD POST?!
Guess that all makes sense. It is kind of sad when you think about it like that though; "no future economy to harm."
I am curious how they will work in Legion assuming it is a thing and things do transfer over. The Quafe suits and their eye gouging colors work for skins but others are awfully basic.
Thanks for the posts everyone.

Wel,l hasn't this become a "respec discussion" thread. I guess I will weigh on what it has become.
The disconnect between people want respecs often and those that are against them barring major changes is an interesting one. The strawmen are "these EVE guys are controlling our game. DUST is not EVE so stop trying to make it Internet Spaceships" and "these guys just cry and cry because they don't want to actually think and keep with their decisions." Strawmen are pretty worthless for actually getting anywhere, especially when both sides are doing it.
Simply put, DUST is not EVE. It is meant to be faster paced and more forgiving. This is why respecs are given at all rather than just Neural Remap. The argument of "why no respecs for Aurum if we want it?" is no different than if players in WoW wanted to be able to buy the best gear in the game; it is one of those things that's natural to want, but that you shouldn't necessarily have. Saying "no X ever because it doesn't work like that in EVE" is just as facile though as it is a different game and genre and thank Tibus Heth for that one because a FPS that was as slow, methodical, and convoluted as EVE would not work well, just as like if an RTS required as much of a grind as an MMO.
Again, I do want to thank the CPM guys, Archduke, and everyone else for supplying the answer to the original question.
