I think CCP has it ass-backwards. I am sorry to say this, I really am.
If anything they should be making more of them, not less. Have them buy able for AUR or by ISK at a ratio of 1000:1. If BPOs can be bought and traded they themselves can naturally balance it all out.
Why? Because bpo are militia to standard grade, if someone wants advanced or proto they have to buy it. For that edge they have to pay simple as that. Honestly I think the problem currently is there isn't a bpo for every type of item.
Now if you really wanted to put a stipulation on it, make there be a death cap per match, that's right, you die too many times then the bpos "exhausted" until you pull out of combat and are restocked automatically.
Honestly CCP I have played a lot of mmorpgs/mmogs/fps/tps, p2p, f2p, f2p w purchase, etc. I like many other veteran gamers (see gamer not necessarily shooter) would NEVER pay for a consumable item that only lasts one death. If BPOs are eradicated or so marginalized that they are made useless, I will probably just leave. |

Make BPOs an integral part of the economy, they turn into a commodity as they are useful and only purchasable wit aurum, add more of them, but them back into the market place at elevated aurum cost.
Boom.
Now you can "pay for isk" same as buying plex to sell in eve, but you can't pay to win, non-p2p players can buy bps through isk, and people will actually spend real money on them for that very reason!
Nobody likes these custom fit backs and expendable cash items. This is not a viable long term solution. |

If you do that we would have to pay a monthly fee for dust, else Dust will not make any money at all, this game is using the F2P model, you cannot buy virtual currency item with in game resources.
You would be able to buy bpo's and any other gear when trading opens up with ISK, if you can't make ISK without a BPO you are doing it wrong. Buying cash shop merchandise and selling it in game for currency is a way to get ahead that is standard for these types of games and pay modes. |

Said before say it again, BPOs help new players the most, unless something changes I am done paying into CCP, I'd pay good money for new bpos or permanent color augmentations, but for pay2win gear? I think not.
And that's exactly what the AUR prototype gear is, pay2win, expendable, nonsense. |

Because consumable equipment is the only feasible way CCP could generate revenue? That's malarkey and we both know it, if you even look at player suggestions there are so many asking for customization and bpos, I don't see anyone saying gee I wish they made more AUR/ISK equivalent items.
I am not alone in wanting to make purchases that have permanency, even though boosters are temporary the skills gained by them are permanent, unlike that "Construct" Duvolle |

Maybe they will have another post about this issue, more than likely they are just choosing to overlook the outcry of the players.
Way to add insult to injury by ignoring the problem. |
