Some of the folks who run BPOs actually fight in the battles.
What if they join the ranks of the redline people who hide for profit?
I think removing BPOs only solves part of the issue. |

You could offer a reasonable sum of AUR or ISK through a "buyback" effort.
Mercs will readily part with the BPOs they don't use, so you'll have fewer BPOs in circulation.
Not gonna happen. Too many players back in closed beta purchased hundreds of BPOs for dirt cheap (100 AURUM +/-50) and then later on CCP jacked up the prices to as much as 12,000 AUR a piece. A closed beta player who spent 50,000 AUR to get 500 BPOs will be in a position to gain 500,000 AURUM with 450,000 of that amount coming from thin air (no cash input for CCP). That is the equivalent of the US Mint printing out trillions of dollars and then handing them out for free to anyone who walks by. It will completely devalue the AURUM itself and cause a massive influx of players proto-stomping in AURUM gear for a very long time.
If they offered a RESPEC system that was given with AUR and an optional buy back of AUR BPOs after the secondary market opened I think it would solve the ISK sink dilemma as well as any AUR devaluation you fear.
Solves two birds win one stone. Then they could actually fix the in game reward system to incentivize fierce competitive matches and EVERYBODY would be happy. |

There's nothing in CCP Logibro's statement that closes the door on removing BPO's in the future.
People need to chill
Remove time in battle from ISK payout formula and provide a bonus to winning team... Watch battles become fun again.

And that's exactly what the AUR prototype gear is, pay2win, expendable, nonsense.
AUR expendables are what will ensure this game keeps getting developed. Unless CCP's HQ is surrounded by magic money trees.

Thus far F2P has not meant a lack of generated revenue, but I wouldn't be surprised if this brings them down to micro-transactions for Auram only. I hope that's enough to keep this game alive...
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
