BPOs as they currently are need to be completely removed from Dust 514. 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.

Goodbye, then! Also, you're mistaken if you think that Dust 514 failing will cause CCP to go bankrupt.

Stalwart conclusion, but it's incorrect. I do, in fact, have two BPOs.

Sad to say but you WILL just be replaced . YOU and WHOEVER goes with you . I can't see them going bankrupt any time soon . CCP is building and attempting to become as big or bigger than Electronic Arts , and you know that's BIG .

To much emotions in this thread, but anyway.

For me solution looks simple.
1.) Add production to DUST.
2.) Add Refinering of stuff to DUST
2.) Let us PRODUCE weapons based on BPOs

So... ppl can produce weapons based on BPOs.
Pro:
* Cheaper than simple buying them on the market.
* BPOs are not useless
* We would finally have some business aspects for players that want something beside killing.

I presume you are calling me brainless? How wonderfully ad hominem.


Are you talking about T2 BPOs or Dust BPOs now? If you're talking about T2 BPOs, of course they affect the economy, even if slightly. If you're talking about Dust BPOs, they will affect the economy in the future. And "hundreds of thousands of EVE players" is quite a large number. It takes a helluva lot to affect that many people. So, you're right, Dust BPOs wouldn't.


There are far more BPOs in Dust, and far fewer players in Dust, not to mention that BPOs in Dust reward you just for having them, whereas you still need the materials required to use T2 BPOs in EVE.


The items come from nowhere. They aren't manufactured, found, harvested, awarded, or bought. They just pop out of nowhere because you own a "BPO". It violates one of the most fundamental rules of New Eden. The only exceptions to that rule should be things like rookie ships and starter fits, since it would suck if you couldn't do anything. I don't like T2 BPOs because they are artifacts. I dislike Dust 514 BPOs for a completely different reason: they aren't consistent with the rest of the game!

People will cry, moan, ****, whine, petition, rage, threaten to quit, calm down, forget BPO's ever existed, and happily move on as we've seen many many times.
