I too don't understand making judgment calls on an economy that doesn't exist in the game yet. Though I do want them to integrate the economies of eve and dust. Then I could buy a whole orca full of dropships from my industrialist friend in eve. I'm all about that eve dust link.
Bpo complaints are stupid, I know your frustration.

Let's not give up on merging the economies though, that's a really cool concept that should continue to be worked on.

You do know that eve to dust isk will be heavily taxed at first right? 10 eve isk = about 1 dust isk. I mean if your rich then I guess you wouldn't care.

*looks at post* well you sir- *looks at name*..need to go to troll school.

I'm going to say something that might blow your mind here.

Fiat currency, markets, economies are all based on faith.

We were told player trading would happen and that all things would be tradeable. It may or may not have been explicitly said exactly like that, but it was implied due to the universe dust shares with eve. This means that players have already been making speculative moves.

People bought into cheap BPO's because they believed the market would exist and other people would want to buy them. If you had been paying attention, you also would have noticed other module price changes. Charge sniper rifles, Proto vehicle speed mods and more. I personally bought 2000 charged sniper rifles after the massive isk refund, back when the price was under 1000 each. Now, they sell for something much more than that. 15k?

The point is - the market existed the day the game released and to change the rules, products or deny it now is a breach of that faith players put into the game. Sure, they can probably legally do so but morally? It's a ****** bait-n-switch, nothing more.

Just because you have no skin in the game does not make the opinions of those that do any less valid. If you do own BPOs and are telling people to HTFU, well uh that's just like, your opinion, man.

I never said they were any less valid, I just said they were complaining too much, how would you feel if I posted my opinion on here over and over and over again about something that didn't go my way? (would that not be excessive and annoying?)
I do own BPO's, but I couldn't care less what happens to them, and I'm not telling anyone to HTFU I just want to scroll through the forums and not see the same topics and posts over and over again.

I'm sorry for the venting guys, It's just really irritating to log on to the forums and see nothing but complaining day in and day out.
but, venting over
thanks

I wished market was a launch feature.

get a player market at all

That way, everyone on here whining about the nonexistent market and the BPO's can either shut up and leave, or wallow in the disappointment that they already knew was coming.

If wishes were ponies we'd have plenty of horse sashimi.
