On all these points (about me) you are dead wrong.

1st, I am not an EVE player, and this is the first FPS type game I have played.

As far as "free to play games," no I am a programmer, and do know about these type of games. Now if there are other free to play "online" games, then I am not familiar with them. What you may not realize is that it costs to improve things, and it also costs to have something connected to the Internet. How about you pay for the Internet connection and not have some type of compensation for it, other than people possibly paying for certain things that you can offer that is connected to the game.

Maybe "throwing" money at them through a subscription, can make improvements by providing them the means that they can depend on to make said improvements.

And no, I do not have cable tv, just an internet connection, and my cell phone, is just a basic one that costs me for each individual call as I do not have one of there "expensive" plans that I have no interest in paying for but not using.

Of course if you had read the entire posting on this subject you would have known this.

Lastly, I do not have a disposable income. Again, if you had read the previous posts, I am on a limited fixed income so I do have to be careful on what I do purchase.

So your statement "Get over yourself" is thrown right back to you, as it seems that you are the one with an attitude of being full of himself and want things for free and do not want others to have it either!

Why do you guys want BPOs back so badly?

To David Spd:

I can understand, and your point is taken, and no you did not offend me so no apology is needed.

As for me, I started playing this game, and was enjoying it, but it has been going downhill. I was hoping to bring about a way to possibly get it back to being a fun game.

Truthfully, with the time I have put into the game to build up my experience I really don't want to give up on it, but I may have to do this.

I do think that this might be a viable option where things could improve the game. That is if finances are the issue. This would also give a more powerful voice to the subscribers on how to improve the game. If they need funds, and get them through subscribers, they need to keep them happy - as it is, they don't have to listen to the players because the players aren't paying for the game. At least not on a regular basis.

Well if you want to talk about what you think a subscription program would look like I am all ears.

Sorry, but this is a bad idea. BPOs are bad for the economy. Period. CCP will not do this.

I don't want "BPO's" as they have been so badly.

They didn't provide CCP or DUST anything to help them advance anything. My suggestion was a type of BPO that would help them, and at the same time, give people the "BPO" (or at least a type of BPO that they seem to be crying out for.

If you want a BPO, then why not give them one, at least for a monthly fee and not for free. Free helps no one but the people that want something (and almost always, more) for nothing.

CCP, you seem to want to be able to bring in funds to help support your existence. You have been doing this by trying to sell items through AUR sales; and while sometimes it seems you have things too expensive, people have been doing this already.

Well here is an idea, that I think many would be inclined to except. of course there will be many that will oppose this too, but by allowing someone to have a weapon subscription BPO (sBPO) and a dropsuit of choice (sBPO) while they are paying a monthly subscription, you would be able to pretty much depend on a monthly stipend.

While I know that there would be many that would call this a "Pay to Win" as they already do, I have not thought of what you have been doing as such, but rather a "Pay to Advance" system that helps people advance faster.

Of course having a monthly subscription system you would have to make it affordable, and you can get an idea of a price by observing what you get with the Plus system that PSN has in operation. So for instance a subscription for 30,000 AUR you get a 30 day active booster and a type of sBPO for a dropsuit of choice and an weapon of choice (including an officer weapon.) If you drop your subscription, you loose these items.

If someone still wanted a passive booster, then they would still need to purchase them the same way that is currently in operation.

Of course, for those that do not want to pay a monthly subscription, you would still have all the items for sale as is currently in operation, and for those that do not want to pay anything, they still get to play the way they have been playing - by not having to make any purchases.

I think that this might be a good option to try to make some (and I think many) people happy, and at the same time, give your project a regular stipend that you could depend on to help you continue your operations.
