That answer could mean many things, such as,
1. The skinweave's are going away, but the dragonfly,covanent, dren, and Templar stay.
2. They will all get changed to be more like eve where we need to manufacture them.
3. They are changing the weapon's to be standardized, like ps2 so there aren't a dozen names for the same weapon.
I don't see them removing, if I remember correctly they never removed the tech 2 bpo's in eve, but would give a bit of a temper tantrum if they did and I wasn't properly reimbursed.
Is there video of the presentation on youtube anywhere? Until they clearify what they meant, I'd recommend ppl looking for bpo's to not buy the packs. I hope the OP is trolling. |

The thing that keeps a FTP going is consumer confidence in that if you buy something, you will always have it for the life cycle of the game. Even if I took a couple years off and come back, i'd expect my character to be there and the items I bought to be there. |

Oh wait, post 142 above mine translates the hyperbole into something that is probably closer to reality?
it was a question that was asked in the dust presentation at vegas, on page seven, someone was nice enough to give a recording of that question.

If they went in a route like eve, then i'd be okay with a bpo that is maxed researched because if I remember right, those take months to research if done in highsec. Although, i'd imagine this would not make the majority of bpo holders content. They bought something with the expectation of keeping it as they currently function.
I can think of a couple more possible solutions, but in every solution, there will be a population of bpo holders that get screwed. Even if they don't do anything and let them be traded, new comers get screwed because they were never given the chance to buy them and now must pay a couple 100 million isk for a militia/standard item. Although, in time, the bpo's will be left on inactive characters and they will have less and less impact on the economy. In my opinion, this is probably the best way to go as long as they retain their current function and can never be used to mass manufacture them for the market.
Although, I think they underestimate the bpo holders because if they are still using them with high sp, then i'd imagine they would be willing to use the free starter fits. They aren't that horrible. |

They aren't that horrible. i didnt pay hundreds of dollars to use starter fits... that would be a great injustice CCP has a ethical obligation as an international business to uphold their own word and maintain their reputation...
I meant as in the effect of the economy if bpo's never existed or they took them away (neglecting backlash). I'm not advocating for them to be gone. I also have bought all the bpo packs. |
