Adapt or die. You guys shouldn't get special treatment because you were hoping to exploit the beta to take advantage of new players later.

We took the risk in a beta game an we funded it, this is our reward!

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.

I'm ok with having my bpo items locked into my character, but that is just me. I will let the rest of the player base decide for themselves on that major and go with the majority vote. Actually, do what CCP Cmdr Wang did and put it to a vote.

CCP, the problem is not that you introduced BPO's to the game, its that there is nothing worth buying with the ISK I make... The problem is that win or lose in a match you award the same amount of isk. Win or lose, there is no incentive once I've hit SP cap. So why pull out my more powerful equipment that costs isk???

BPO's are a great idea, and a HUGE moneymaker for you guys. Yeah the booster's are nice, but I guarantee people buy your packs just as much for the BPO's as they do for the boosters. (I certainly did).

Maybe if you tripled the isk payout for a win or even derive a payout system based on WP, you might restore balance to the economy. You have to encourage people to spend isk. You will get rid of BPO's only to find people will run the starter fits. We do this because it is expensive to proto stomp, with PC broken, there is nothing to spend isk on.

I fully understand that one possible solution is to force us to spend isk by removing all BPO's from the marketplace, but really guys? That's as creative as you can get?

How about a Free-For-All mode where you have to ante in to a match, 50,000 isk/player. Top 3 places pay out. People pay isk, run bigger expensive suits, higher reward if you win, nothing if you lose.

Look at COD- Black ops and their contract system. FFS, we are mercenaries, give us some MERC Contracts! Make them a gamble. Some contracts can have ISK rewards, some have equip rewards. All cost ISK to obtain, you lose the ISK if you fail to complete said contract.

You're welcome for the unoriginal ideas. I got plenty more, just ask.

I look at it this way. Those players who don't participate in the forums at all only have themselves to blame. It's like a real world election. If you don't vote, then someone else will decide for you.

They could have a thriving AUR market, but their prices are extremely high for expendables.

A 2.0 KDR person could spend $50-100 a month on AUR expendables if they used AUR only gear.

That seems to high in my opinion
