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 Or wat about this. Make how much isk u make be totally reliant on the gear u field and how well u do as an individual. Field high end gear, get paid more. Players should be gravitating toward PC and FW for high ISK rewards.
Aren't we removing actual isk rewards from FW? Yea, factional stuff to sell blah blah two years later... So, PC should be the only way to make money?
Isn't PC supposed to be an isk sink? Just like FW will be for smaller corps/loners?

^This! Make BPOs exactly like EVE so they have a cost, just a significantly reduced one vs the market. |

I know. They say gamebreaking, but they really mean wallet breaking. People aren't buying enough Aurum to purchase their crap militia suits. It's hardly gamebreaking.
With the isk removal from Faction Warfare, BPOs are going to be the only thing keeping it alive until the player market opens and Faction gear is worth using.

I don't care either way, but at some point BPO will need to have consumable and purchasable materials or they will unbalance the economy.
If Industry was in merc hands that would be fine. Its not, so we suck it up and deal with it. |

I don't know what they expect. CCP is completely brain dead stupid when it comes to the F2P elements of their game and what should and shouldn't be paid for with real currency. Cosmetic stuff is #1 selling in all F2P games and yet it is non-existent here. Some games exist with selling ONLY cosmetic items. I know I would drop money for AUR for cosmetic items. As it is the ONLY thing worth real world money is boosters and BPOs. Most BPOs were just removed so that shortens the list considerably on what i'm willing to part with real currency for. |

Here's another tidbit for those who say "do it the EVE way" ... CCP is actually trying to phase that out. New modules, for example, are released through controlled drops of BPC. They are still pushing this with the goal of taking back control of the economy/making the AUR store contain more temporary power ups, even after burn jita. So I would not bet on the EVE structure coming to DUST, since CCP doesn't like it in EVE already. |

I agree that CCP seems incapable of understanding what people want to spend money on. But BPCs are still manufacturable in Eve, just limited run. They could impose a weekly resetting limit on our current BPOs in Dust. There are reasonable ways to subtly change it without ripping us off. |

This is why I wrote the Nerf BPOs thread is this is why CCP keeps getting worse and worse. They tell you one thing then instantly change it. If it was related to in game SP ISK related gear, yeah sure change it. But when you purposefully lead the customer on and then try to switch the product after the sale. Well there are laws against 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. |

As someone who runs BPOs regularly and almost exclusively in pubs I only save aroud 50k a match in ISK. All the equipment is either standard or militia stat wise. As for BPOs that require less skill, they are no different from Aur standard equipment except that they are unlimited. I payed a lot of real money for an unlimited standard suit as opposed to paying a lot of real money for a bunch of limited standard suits. Either way the there are two economies, the AUR one and ISK one and in theory BPOs are part of the Aur one which fund this game. If you think it's unfair than find a better way for this game to make money. |

Then CCP just straight up lies to their customers. Why would they allow that post if they knew that in less than a month later they were going to say BPOs where going to go away. And why would they use the fact that the 10 yr CE came with BPOs for DUST? That would mean it was lie, and could be punishable because it can be argued that it caused damages. Would I have payed real money to get the BPOs that they were pushing because of them being removed from the market, if I knew that under a month later they were going to announce that they were thinking of getting rid of them? No, so right there that causes me distress.
Either way lying as a company is far worse for a bottom line than a few BPOs are. |

What is wrong is the purpose of BPO's. Once (if) crafting is available in Dust, BPO's should be just like they are in Eve - a mold to make the suit - and the suit itself is consumable. This way, people can make thier own stuff at a lower cost than buying it from the market if they want.

The problem here is that if you want to play, you have to accept it. And by doing so, you are giving up some of your consumer rights. There have been cases where EULAs have been deemed illegal, and parts of them were overturned in the courts, but that usually takes money. Money most of us don't have and can't afford, cus we are blowing it on digital crap in video games.
Is it fair? Probably not, but it's a risk that CCP is obviously willing to take. What happens when CCP decides Dust is no longer viable, and closes the connection? We all lose it all. I guarantee we won't be getting refunds then either. |

My beef is about the deceptive practices, not the actual items. You can't EULA away lying to your customers when real money is involved. If CCP knew that they were going to announce they want to get rid of BPOs, then don't scam people into buying them right before you announce that. And don't expect people to be fine with it either when you do. |

RR is correct it is not ethical to conduct business that way, and before all of the eve-tards come out of the wood work think for a moment is that the same CCP you want to defend to the end. 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. |
