The new players, however, do need bpos when they start out. Not allowing players to buy bpo gear, or at least trade them, only hurts new players. I'd be in favor of bringing the back to the marketplace.
This is very true, and what I think is the core problem for CCP. Many of us have multiple copies of BPOs... What do you think will happen if we are allowed to freely trade these? Instead of one person having x9 BPOs, it will now be 9 people having x1 BPO, making the situation much much worse (you only need one right?). This is why I am against trading BPOs (in its current form).
A few people have suggested they turn into EVE type BPOs. I think this is a great idea (and only option IMHO). This will mean a BPO can no longer be equipped directly, but only used for manufacture real items to be consumed. These could then be sold and traded freely, completely negating the problem.
Alternatively, I think a block on trading with an optional buy back option could be feasible, where people can get rid of their surplus of BPOs without flooding the market.
Just my two cents. |

This is not true for the reason I stated in my previous post.
You only need x1 BPO. If you have x8 BPOs of the same type it can be regarded as x1, since you can't use or trade the rest (currently). If you could trade these freely, there would be x7 more people running around using your old BPOs, thus effectively increasing the "amount of BPOs" dramatically. |

And that's exactly why they should be player locked. I don't have a use for all those extra Dragonfly Scout suits sitting in my inventory, but I understand it could be a huge problem spreading them around the community. The only other thing I can think of would be to lock them still, but offer some sort of voluntary BPO trade-in program. Say, trading BPOs for FW LP? Then you get the community to voluntarily destroy the BPOs themselves.
We think alike
