I don't care about the rage it will cause, they need to go in order to have a functional economy. CCP can refund them, or they can replace them, but they need to go. If they completely remove them there will be a shitstorm unlike anything they've ever seen. It's their own fault for releasing them without considering the economy.
It doesn't matter. They already confirmed that they are no longer going to be selling the BPOs after November 5th this month. They also confirmed that they will NOT, I repeat, NOT going to remove them from our personal hangars. We paid a lot of money for them after all.
Not only that, refunding them with AUR will cause the #1 issue that CCP has been trying to avoid when CCP found out about players who bought crate-loads of BPOs back in closed beta for as cheap as 100 AUR a piece.
So no matter what you think, although I do respect your opinion on the matter, CCP is not going to remove them from our personal hangars. Once the secondary market hits, there will just be a FIXED amount of BPOs in circulation no matter how many hands a BPO changes in its lifetime. And as the population of the game increases over the years, so will the value of the BPOs.
CCP, please fix the Nova Knives. Thank you.

As more people start playing, or people run more expensive gear that there isn't a BPO of, people will be consuming goods that need the market.
I doubt the market is going to be that seriously impacted by a few people who were there when the game launched (and paid money for an incomplete game) not buying militia or a very limited selection of standard level gear off the market.
Completely removing BPOs would just fix a problem that time itself would have healed while pissing everyone off.
Perfect answer. I own most of them but I almost never use them. They have mediocre to poor stats and just arn't competative....although I do really enjoy being able to jump into a game as a sniper or a heavy whenever I want. I don't really understand the logic behind them ruining the economy....in EVE you have an unlimited numer of rookie ships and the economy is fine because the whole point is to use something better.
So far only four particular BPOs (all vehicle-only modules) have been completely removed by CCP. The rest are staying in our inventory according to them.
Anyways, I don't see a problem with the BPOs that are currently in circulation since there are no more coming and as the player base grows the impact of the BPOs will diminish over time. Case in point: Tech 2 BPOs in Eve Online.
OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved?
