dent 308 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2348	Posted - 2014.01.30 20:44:00 - [37] - Quote I would rather trade an Exile AR BPO for a Combat Rifle BPO myself. Hail Satan
Garth Mandra The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 302	Posted - 2014.01.30 21:25:00 - [38] - Quote Here's a thought. Instead of spending AUR for this which is only going to make CCP some spare change due to finite numbers of BPOs why not also give us the option to swap 2 BPOs for another race's BPO. That way we get the alternate BPOs and CCP gets to reduce the number of BPOs in the game. As a slight aside if this happens don't let people have Templar named BPOs. Make sure the Amarr ones get different names and colour schemes otherwise the Collectors Edition people will be fuming.

With my AUR, I will gladly change my Elite pack BPO's into minmatar suits. I got 3 BPO assaults, so I would get a Cal and Min Assault (sell the last one on player market) BPO min logi I would keep. BPO Sentinel would become Minmatar as well. My 2 BPO Scouts would become Caldari Scout and Min Scout ( I do love shield tanking) Nothing says "F**K YOU!" like a direct Flaylock to the face. Minmatar. In Rust we trust.

COVERT SUBTERFUGE PSU GHOST SYNDICATE DARKSTAR ARMY 99	Posted - 2014.01.31 10:34:00 - [43] - Quote Hey mercs! How many of you just chose any ole race when you made your merc all that time ago? How many of you have come to understand the races and lore better and have found strong identification in a race other than your avatar? With a potential dropsuit respec, how awesome would it be to have the chance to change your race and then spec into its dropsuits and gear? I made this merc for this purpose, because I'm not caldari and no amount of mental gymnastics and "oh he is a double agent BS" stops me from longing to have all those hours and AUR that I invested into GREY CARDINAL turn into an avatar I can really get behind... I'll develop this toon lovingly into my Minmatar badass but damn, having GREY turn Minmatar with that 32 mill SP would be a dream.

Squagga The State Protectorate 101	Posted - 2014.01.31 11:21:00 - [45] - Quote This sounds like a fun idea and all, especially considering that everyone seems to think the more money CCP has rolling in the faster they'll be to progress the game forward. Now I could be wrong here but if traded in my dragonfly for .. a Caldari scout BPO? Well they don't have one of those yet, it actually sounds like they would never make that, cause BPOs are the economic devil. You'd be more likely to get them to produce those fancy AUR suits like the Firebrand. Either way people will pay real world money for those. Also their limited edition. New AUR vanity suits every build? Reloading, the silent killer.
Haerr Molon Labe. Public Disorder. 200	Posted - 2014.01.31 12:56:00 - [46] - Quote I wonder if a form of trade in system could be a possibility? If they were to offer us a chance to trade in our BPOs in exchange for AUR/ Boosters/ different Suit/ Weapon types I wouldn't hesitate, even for a heartbeat, to do so. Though I thought that CCP didn't like the current iteration of the BPOs (i.e. infinite resource) so I wonder why they would bother spending time on this? (I guess it would be an easy way to milk some coin from the die-hard fans but stillGÇª) @CCP: Is the Cloaking Fields and Profile Dampeners reduction to Scan Profile stacking penalized when added together?

CRNWLLC Screwy Rabbit ULC 9	Posted - 2014.01.31 19:33:00 - [48] - Quote No, since it seems beside the point to me. Instead, I'd like the option to procure each race's BPOs from the marketplace. The reason this is in no way a threat to the alleged "economy" is that there is not economy, since that implies transactions between agents and the only transactions currently happening are between the payout algorithm and individual players and then, between individual players and the payin algorithm (aka, the Marketplace). Inflation could be circumvented if BPOs were only acquired from CCP, ie, non-tradable. Then, everyone would be on the same playing field. These BPOs could cost Aurum or have a ridiculously inflated ISK price--say, 100x the cost of the non-BPO gear they match (this assuages the feelings of those that only want an F2P experience). Sure, it pays for itself after 100 uses, but that's sort of the point and besides, if a player is losing gear so fast that this actually benefits their Dust finances, then by all means, please run BPOs. I'd rather have these players on the field to shoot at versus them getting butt-hurt and rage quitting because they just lost their 50th piece of some sort of standard level (or less) equipment. Anything that encourages unskilled/new players to keep playing, get better, and (eventually) try to outcompete each other in expensive gear, is a good thing. "Offering [players] the chance to trade" BPOs is a bad idea--where do you think all the feared inflation would come from? CCP jacking prices? Or veteran Dust (and, often as not EvE) players with caches from beta? Exactly. I think the BPO problem is solved by returning them to their former glory, possibly making more (racial variants?) of them, available to all, non-tradable, and never better than standard (except for the top-tier recruiting reward, because if you can pull that off, you deserve something extra special, you charismatic b@stard, you). This won't negatively impact the "economy" because there's pressure from the player base to run adv+ level gear (ie, other players are doing it and if they're as good as or better than you, they're likely to come out on top if they have better equipment too). Have you seen my baseball?
Mason Ironburn D3LTA FORC3 1	Posted - 2014.02.01 10:12:00 - [49] - Quote While I would gladly pay to change my Dropsuit BPO and Weapon BPOs to ones the racially align with my skills, I would NOT want to do this if they are doomed to be removed or drasticly changed, as then I have paid twice and do not have the products that I purchased.

Hobo on Fire Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 124	Posted - 2014.02.01 14:23:00 - [51] - Quote I really like the concept of the idea. I'd use it for sure, but good luck convincing CCP. I think it would just end up encouraging more use of the BPOs currently out there, which means we aren't burning isk the way CCP wants us to. I bought the Elite pack, and get tons of use out my my Dren assault (Caldari) and scout (Gallente) suits. I don't use the Amarr Dren heavy at all, and my Dren logi (Minmitar) only gets used when I'm Jihad Jeeping. I do occasionally run a Caldari logi fit (skilled into it since I already had Cal mediums) so trading my Minmitar logi BPO for a Caldari one would save me cash, therefore giving me an incentive to use it more often. It puts a plug into CCPs isk sink. If we're talking weapons, the few people that still bother with swarms know they need to go proto to accomplish anything. Anyone who possesses a Dren Swarm launcher would be stupid not to trade it in for a Rail or Combat Rifle BPO. Trading in that single weapon has the potential to keep a lot of isk in player pockets. Basically, unless CCP can pull enough aurum out of it to hire a new employee specifically to sort out Dust's economy, I don't think they'll go for it. Of course this all becomes invalid if/when they change how BPOs work. I'm in favor of the "BPO issues X copies per day" concept.

Ivan Avogadro Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 686	Posted - 2014.02.01 15:08:00 - [53] - Quote I absolutely would pay aurum for this idea. I would love my dragonfly scout to be a new race, not default gal mothballed in the closet.
Cat Merc Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 6134	Posted - 2014.02.01 19:18:00 - [54] - Quote I would. I have 5-7 Caldari Assault BPO's, I would REALLY like to exchange them for Gallente Assault. Especially the Covenant one, because the red would look AWESOME! Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives. Tuna > Tacos

Not only this, but it's very possible that this would be very hard to implement and CCP may not have the time to do this anytime soon (if at all) Yes. I'd even extend it a bit further to say it would be nice to change racial weapon BPOs into another racial sub-type. I have several thousand AUR that (since the removal of both BPOs and Omega) is just sitting around because there's nothing on the AUR market I have any use for (my basic boosters are already stockpiled for over a year). If CCP opened up this option I'd be able to make more use of the AUR items I already have (for example I have more than one Dragonfly BPO) and would have something to spend my AUR on, I'd even buy more AUR if my current stockpile isn't quite enough to give me full racial diversity among the BPOs I already possess. As a last note it would be a great promo for this feature to offer the other racial BPOs on the market for a very limited time. It would highlight the new feature (earning CCP AUR) and it would allow some of the players who haven't been around quite as long to spend AUR to get in on the action. 0.02 ISK Cross SupportSP Rollover & an improved Recruting System

But yeah, would be neat to convert some of the prize stuff I don't use into something valuable. I'm convinced though that the longterm solution here isn't as much to shuffle around existing assets as it is to fully convert our current BPO's into a skin that could be applied to consumable gear. Meaning if I've got a Dren BPO skin, than I use it to apply the unique color scheme to my medium suits that I use up in combat. This would preserve the value that players have around unique (and renewable) colored suits, while still addressing CCP's design problems with existing "bottomless" gear sources. Most of the BPOs are only mildly, if at all, more powerful than the starter gear and removing their functionality in favor of making them purely cosmetic is something I highly oppose. I didn't buy the dren pack for the brown color scheme and I would have zero use for it in that state. I didn't buy the EVE collectors edition for a templar 'skin' to put on my suits, nor would it be useful to have a dropsuit that looked like a logi but didn't provide any of the equipment slots etc. The current starter gear offers a free assault role but no others, making BPOs superficial not only strips the value of products that are already bought and paid for (in real currency not ISK) it biases game play in favor of one role over all others, and it also flies in the face of New Eden precedence, there are still T2 BPOs in EVE despite their no longer being seeded into the game and players who hold those wield a much greater advantage over their counterparts than possession of the current BPOs grants, nor did those players pay IRL cash for those T2 BPOs they were simply paying the same game access fee as everyone else (which in the case of Dust is a fee of zero). If CCP ever makes such a move they'd better at least offer a high value conversion of those BPOs into Omega boosters so that those who've spent actual money on the game (starting as far back as closed beta) aren't stuck with only cosmetic nonsense for which we have no use and for which we would not have paid in the first place. 0.02 ISK Cross PS ~ I have nothing against the concept of adding skins as described. If folks want those then by all means add them, but a paint job can never be a substitute for an actual asset and it's a notable breach of trust to change a purchase from useful to cosmetic after it's been paid for. EDIT: One further note, in current game state PC does vastly more to stabilize the in game econ than the BPOs, consider the earnings value per day of one district to the number of meta 1 fits which a player would have to lose to equal the same ISK footprint. If CCP is deeply concerned about the current state of the in game economy they have bigger fish to fry, and ones that don't involve altering the value of IRL purchases.
