1) Permanent dropsuits beyond the basic level would reduce the risk reward equation to the point where everyone would only run the best gear they had all the time. If you think that proto stomping is bad now then just imagine what it would be like if all of us had unlimited proto-suits.
2) In the future items will be created by eve players. What will the motivation be for eve players to make suits if they will only be able to sell them once to each merc?
I would also like to point out that there are already permenant (BPO) basic suits you can buy for each class but not every race. A logi suit is available for minmatar, an assault for caldari, and a scout for gallente.
+1
On a side note there really ought to be a racial version BPO for each, it wouldn't alter game balance and would increase player choice as well as CCP AUR market offerings.

Insurance on the frame you say, now there's an idea. |

It's either that or a way to increase your net margin gains, it all depends on how you use it.
It could also encourage more active play because if it refunded a % of the frame value and you purchased the policy for a given span of time, think countdown clock like boosters, you'd be getting higher value for the purchase the more that you actually played the game.
Past that it's just up to the players to do some basic arithmetic determining if/which policy is of value to them.
Cheers,

Regular ISK prices for consumable gear, 150k for militia blueprints, instead of AUR for MIL blueprints.
No need to create ISK based BPOs of any kind. There are two reasons for this;
1. The recruiter system allows access for free to Mercs who make use of it.
2. The secondary/player market will allow purchases of all AUR items for ISK anyway in player to player contracts/transactions.

They could even delete them when the open market hits. And, to my knowledge, only newberries can get the recruit gear. It's just militia gear, I don't think it will wreck the current "economy" No on STD or better gear, I can't see an issue with mIL gear.
Adding items and removing them again isn't the greatest thing for the game, limited edition items are one thing but otherwise it's not best practice, The current BPOs are one of the ways CCP can remain profitable within the F2P set up Dust has and undercutting that isn't going to be good for the game.
As to the recruiter rewards you can earn rewards as either a recruit, or a recruiter so no it is not only new players who can get BPOs that way it's also any player who brings someone new into the game, so long as that new player sticks around and racks up some WP on their character (100k is the big benchmark). |
