The problem with BPOs is that they are at militia level outside of the few standard level ones. The list that I am able to compile at the moment with their ISK variants' cost is as follows:
'Dren' Assault C-I -3000 'Dren' Logistics M-I -3000 'Dren' Sentinel A-I -3000 'Dren' Scout G-I -3000 'Dren' Scrambler Pistol -675 'Dren' Assault Rifle -1500 'Dren' Swarm Launcher -1500 'Dren' Shotgun -1500
That is the 'Dren' family.
'Covenant' Assault C-1 -3000 'Covenant' Sniper Rifle -1500
That is the 'Covenant' family.
Next are the few that don't have a "family".
'Exile' Assault Rifle -1500 'Dragonfly' Scout [nSv] -3000 'Valor' Scout G-I -3000
I currently am unable to bring up a list of the other gear that is standard and BPO, but I'm sure someone else can do it in my place. I also don't have every militia BPO (since I used standard anyways), so I'll also leave that to someone else that wants to put them up with the price of their ISK variants.
The costs of these items is extremely insignificant in the first place. Arguing that they are able to reduce the ISK loss too much is ignorant with the fact that militia gear is there for less than half the price of standard in most cases. You'll literally have to die over 50 times with no revives in a single match in order to lose money in full standard suit. The worst I have ever legitimately have seen someone die was at twenty-three and they still turned profit due to the insignificant cost of standard.
By the logic that BPOs reduce loss too much, then you'll also have to argue for the removal of militia. "But that's not the same thing!" Militia is there as a cost and skill reduced variant of the standards. They are disposable BPOs in that sense. Hell, they might as well be BPOs since they are so dirt cheap.
So, let's talk about the real crash of the ISK economy if it ever comes. Let's make people turn white and turn from the truth. There's a thing called "Planetary Conquest" that is the very definition of a broken system. By being part of PC, you make enough ISK to run proto without a single **** to the loss. The 3,000 ISK suit and the 1,500 Plasma Rifle that 'Dren' replaces is ******* scratch compared to the 57,000 ISK suit and 47,220 ISK Plasma Rifle that is thrown away like trash because of the broken system.
Prototype gear was meant to be the "all in" card. The "it's worth losing for the win". Not to be disposed of like militia gear.
Sit the **** down and wake up. BPOs are the poor man's way to save what little ISK he can against the people that cast away the "all in" like garbage.
