Personally, I think BPOs are the only things worth buying in this game. And if they take them all away I'm honestly not sure how CCP will make much money. And if CCP doesn't make much money, this game is shut down regardless of how fun it is...
...So I would say they are actually standing up for what's best for this game :D
Personally, I can vouch for this. I just recently spent $50 on a veteran pack just for the LAV BPO, and I have literally not even spent the other things that came with the pack. My hope is I can get a refund if they take the BPOs out before I even use the pack's consumables. But that does show how much I and other people are willing to spend in real money to assure a low low in-game cost of free :D |

The item you originally bought was in and of itself a crutch, one that is keeping you poor while making the proto-stompers richer. You're picketing for your right to continue being stomped by far richer players... Lolwut. No dude, I do just fine with my BPOs. If proto stomps are occurring it is very doubtful that it has anything to with my play style. If you aren't dying, then why do you want BPO gear? It is categorically worse than proto gear in every way except cost.
Well, yes, but this all depends on how MUCH better, and if that's worth the cost.
Arguably this game has twitch shooter, and proto-vs-bpo battles are determined as follows:
1) if bpo dude sneaks up behind proto dude, bpo dude wins.
2) if proto dude sneaks up on bpo dude, proto dude wins.
So aside from the occasional instance when both parties just face each other and spray bullets at exactly the same time, it's more about reflexes and awareness anyways. |
