I don't understand how free MLT changes anything, you can make enough isk in most matches to supply 100's of MLT suits, so a bpo mlt armor rep that normally costs 100 isk is game breaking? it not like this stuff is ADV or PRO. Honestly i have more BPO crap going back to may of 2012 than i can even count, I haven't used any of it once your able to field better gear.

Heres the problem. People would rather make money endlessly grinding pubs in free suits. Rather than pushing themselves to go into PC and actually develop how the game intended.

Highsec should not be profitable BPO's make Highsex profitable

My most used all BPO suit costs me 3,125 ISK if I payed for it

If you can't make a profit running that then you seriously need to reconsider your choice of game...

(not you, just people in general)

The only BPO doing any damage right now would be the LAV BPOs. Other than that....what's a couple thousand ISK between friends?

This ^^^ For example lets say I make 180,000 isk a game. I die 5 times with a all BPO crap suit and make 180,000 isk profit totally see where you're going with that Reg and it not promoting higher level game play, but if die 5 times in the same crap isk equivalent suit I spend 20,000 isk and make only 160,000 isk profit, is that extra 20,000 isk profit a game breaker. In both examples I'm using cheap crap and mining it to maximize profit, the removal of the BPO does nothing to change the behavior that you don't like, the only difference is one guy spent $20 to make a measly extra 20,000 isk. Removing the BPO will do nothing to change that behavior people will still use cheap crap, there are players that play an emergent style that only has to do with isk spent on their gear compared to what they destory that is not going to change. The only difference is they will not have an option to spend realy money to save chump change in fake money anymore.

If CCP were to give a refund then there would be people with over 500k aur while they only bought like 200k aur. this is actually wrong on the transition from closed beta to open in January all bpo's were refunded at new market prices..if you wanted to keep your bpo you then bought it back..if not then u made a bunch of aur... the increase in aur because of bpo conversion and price increase has already occurred it did so in mid january..i personally had loads of duplicates of bpo's and bought 1 copy of each back and made about triple aur when that happened 30 aur to 1200 aur to 19800 aur or something like that Actually that is not true they didn't refund any BPO items in january for that exact reason. I'm still sitting on the BPO modules I bought in 2012 none were refunded when all the other assets were, if they do refund AUR spent on BPO items at current values I'll turn an AUR profit to the tune of $500 real dollars.

I postulate that CCP is an amazing developer that has made what I've been told an amazing game in EVE. My own experience in DUST for the last 18 months is one of seeing a developer in way over their head and floundering and about 6 months from failcascadding on this project. CCP Shenghai/DUST does not equal CCP Iceland/EVE, nothing about the one has translated to the other, in essence the credibility of EVE carries zero weight at this time in regard to DUST. You may as well be talking about World of Darkness. There are some very creative cool people at CCP that have come up with some great ideas in their goals for DUST, getting a crew of people a world away to develop those ideas is not panning out. Unfortunately this game should have been kept under wraps until now, today would have been a great starting point for the closed beta. These actions and the constant 3 steps forwards 2 steps back are not a good trend. I want this game to succed I've invested more time in my life and $ than any other media or game. I'm also capable of being pragmatic and calling the quacking bird a duck.
