The reason why BPOs aren't working as intended is they are having a large negative impact on the ingame economy. For the economy to function properly, items need to be consumed in battle. With BPOs, no items are consumed, which breaks this fundamental requirement.

As far as trading of BPOs, that's not decided yet. I will be taking your feedback though. We'll let you know when we come to a decision.

You did sell BPOs with the explicit claim that having them would mean players could be free of isk costs. Now if you go ahead and introduce isk costs to them, in whatever form, you'll be betraying the trust of your customers. It would be like selling 30 day boosters and then downgrading them to 7 days because you didn't like the effect.

Or they could simply introduce a new build "due to hardware limitations" and "refund the inventory". And there-¦s nothing you could do about it.
There was talk about no future character wipes, nobody ever said anything about inventory wipes.
