DUST Search - BPOs and the future

I find it rather amusing that some players are so vehemently against the BPOs and are in such a tirade over how they break the market that as yet does not exist.

There seems to be many more pressing issues that need tending than the underlying complaint "it's not fair"

Personally, yes, I have several different packs I have bought with BPOs and I 'purchased' some with Aurom. Only duplicates I have where due to purchasing items by mistake. The BPO's bought really should be bound to the account that purchased them. If a person bought multiple packs offer them the option to convert the multiples into boosters or aurom, simple solution. Last time I checked the best of any BPO have the same stats and requirements as basic gear. In fact I have a 'Sever' Logistics BPO I can't use because I haven't invested the SP since they where changed. Advanced and Prototype gear is still going to be bought and consumed for the simple reason when you have the skills to run them you will for precisely the reason that you had to spend the SP to unlock them in the first place; CPU/PG slots and bonuses. Someone could run BPO only fits exclusively same as they could run the starter default fits (which are unlimited and will always be for same reason an Eve capsuleer gets a free rookie ship whenever they need one).

The BPO's included in the package deals for $$$ can be reasonably expected to not to deviate from the initial purchased content functionality nor considered transferable due to their non-consumable nature.

As for the concerns of manufacture of suits and equipment the existing BPO's should not be a part of it. However I am looking forward to the possibility for corporations without the ability to possess a district to support their Dust 514 members.

However there was a great proposal in these forums a couple of days ago where BPOs could generate X amount of equipment every downtime. I think that would be a good transitional behaviour between the current Dust-style BPOs and the eventual Eve-style BPOs. It'll soften the blow a little, but there will still be a blow.

Here's the reality: When CCP converts Dust BPOs into EVE BPOs, they'll probably give you the option to get a refund in the form of AUR/USD/ISK. And if you don't like it, then go find the softest blanket and the biggest pacifier you can, and go sob quietly in a corner about how life's not fair.

And we find it amusing that most BPO defenders are so short sighted that they can't look past their own interests to see how Dust-style BPOs will impede the integration of Dust into Eve. We know people are upset, but if you step outside your shoes and look at the situation from a game design perspective, Dust BPOs gotta go. They should have never existed, and are no doubt a prominent item on a bulleted list circulating around CCP's office titled: "Things that are blocking the integration of Eve and Dust economies." CCP will make you a decent offer if you don't want Eve BPOs, and the devoted crybabies can call their credit card companies or file a petition.
