DUST Search - From an ignorant perspective...what is happening here...?

This is how I understand it, the actual Bpos aren't the issue here. I think we can all agree they are pretty useless. The real issue is that ccp has removed these bpos from players inventory. Most people who I have seen posting feel wronged and think that ccp has a conspiracy to remove all bpos.
I believe what stemmed most of this was a post by ccp logibro stating that certain packs would be removed from the market place, but bpos in players inventories would remain. This was stated before ccp had decided to remove the moduals/bpos.
Ccp frame then made a post about the 4 bpos in question and how their moduals, and subsequently the bpos for those moduals were going to be removed.
Many people believe this is ccp telling a lie and cheating them.

Logibros post was about the removal of packs and reassuring those who bought packs with bpos that the removal of the packs would not affect their already purchased bpos. Logibros post was truthful, the bpos werent removed. Nor were any bpos.

Ccp frame then posted about the removal of 4 specific

bpos that conflicted with the vehicle rebalancing patch and that the moduals and bpos would be removed and refunded at full price.

(I really want to clear this up as they keep bringing it up as proof that ccp is going back on their word when clearly they aren't)

This made a few players very insecure about their aur and bpos. They felt that ccp could now take away all their bpos. They feel that giving a full price aur refund is not enough to compensate for ccp removing the bpos. They thought bpos would always be in their inventory no matter the changes to the game and are shocked that they too are liable to change. So they are outraged.

They were compensated for the removal. All other bpos are remaining in their inventories just like ccp said. The items they are refunding are equal to or greater than their original investment. In your case midas, it is now worth more than your initial investment. Ccp has never said anything about bpos being permanent items, if you thought they were then obviously you were wrong.

It is my opinion that ccp hasn't stepped over their bounds. They are being fair and honest with what they are doing. Items have not lost value but even gained some. Freaking out over this is pointless.

This forum's population has been for, and against, changes to all aspects of gameplay since the beginning. "Buff this, nerf that!" I recall player plans for BPO's to: 1. Supplement fittings with modules which would not expend isk upon restock 2. Sell on the market at inflated price once the market opened The thought that some aspects of the game mechanic will be held static while others are up for change is a little biased. This argument serves the person who's gain is the greatest. I am willing to bet that this is less of an argument over CCP keeping their word in the development of a game in beta and more to do with the generic whining of players who cannot embrace the changes that will occasionally happen. Refunds of virtual currency (whether purchased with real money or not) should be on par with current market value for said item at the time of purchase. End of story. I'm willing to put out there that CCP is trying to be too democratic and listening to too many opinions.
