The reality of Dust BPOs is that they are eventually going away as currently implemented.
You can ***** and moan all you want, but Dust's implementation of blueprints are incompatible with Eve's implementation of blueprints, and it is a guarantee that Eve's implementation will eventually win out.
Aurum will be useful only for boosters, cosmetics, and buying gear above your skill level.
ISK will be purchasable with real money via the existing GTC/Plex system. One PLEX can yield up to 600 million ISK, and you'll buy thousands of drop suits with that money.
This is the way it will happen. |

This is the way it will happen. 1: 500 mil ISK 2: We don't have Plex's in Dust, but we do have boosters  3: We don't have manufacturing yet, and the way our clones work, BPO's makes sense as of now. Once we have manufacturing, and we have to actually move our ****, then it would make sense to have EVE style BPO's.
1) Plex has peaked over 600 million: http://eve-central.com/home/quicklook.html?typeid=29668
2) When Eve and dust markets are truly linked, making PLEX available to dust mercs will be easy. GTCs can be redeemable similar to Golden Keys in Borderlands 2. Just because a dust merc can't use a PLEX, doesn't mean he can't sell it.
3) The lack of manufacturing in Dust is EXACTLY why BPOs never made any sense. A magical blueprint that creates items out of thin air? It was a design failure from the beginning, and they should have just given people the ability to buy ISK as well as Aurum. It doesn't make sense financially for CCP either, instead of getting money from players every few months after they blow through their ISK (about 6000 proto fittings), they gave players permission to print money.
BPOs in Dust don't make any sense in any context.
They break the lore of Eve
They break the economy of Eve
They break the bank of CCP
For these reasons you can fully expect them to go away as Dust and Eve get more integrated. |

Bright Cloud wrote:sure CCP has the right to change BPO's but 99% of the vets probably purchased them with real cash and only bought them cause they are unlimited supply. Thats what the discription sayd and how it should be. So now would you want to make 99% of the veteran players angry and take them away or change them to something REALLY stupid. And if i say "angry" i mean that players are quitting the game, people will report CCP on gaming sites for doing scams and all sorts. Nothing less then the companys image is at the stacke. There is nothing worse then stealing from players who payd hard cash on this game. I could aswell put it as betrayal to those who where supporting CCP during the beta by giving them money for merc packs.
Removing them from the market is fine. Removing them from the personal assets is a no go.
They will get an Aurum refund. Where is the scam? The company's image isn't at stake from a bunch of perpetual whiners, the company's image is at stake by not delivering on their promise of an integrated Eve/Dust universe. BPOs as they are currently implemented are blocking that integration.
@Meeko, you get it. |
