Money and time child. Some people have money but not the time due to a little thing called age and having a family and a job. Also, there is the sense of novelty. CCP is a business and they have a sense of what sells. However, they do seem a bit deficient in their understanding of marketing. Why they ever removed BPOs is beyond me. Player market? Please, all CCP had to do was make BPOs non-transferable considering the whole micro-transaction nature of the game. They are guaranteed $20 per BPO.

I would have spent over a hundred dollars by now if they had not only kept the suits, but also added weapons. My money is not tied to the success of this game. My time however, is. This game is now, effectively, cancelled. Thank God I didn't hardcore my time away for nothing.

You kids have fun with your grinding though. There's a sucker born every minute.

P.S. CCP I will take out a loan and pay you to design a decent game that has a chance in hell of succeeding. Stop being stupid.

Yet, I have a 3k isk militia light suit I use all the time and do really well in. Even when I can't rely on blueberries to help take objectives, I can swarm the objective myself and lose 20 suits in the process and still profit at end of match. Yea I don't care about kd at all. I just want the win.

Im pretty sure if you had a G-1 Scout BPO (and are skilled into gal scout already) and fit it exactly as your militia light frame, you would have slightly lower cost + the scout bonus that that you dont get from std light frame.
Xocoyol Zaraoul Superior Genetics 2361	Posted - 2014.09.15 17:19:00 - [9] - Quote I do it for the colors. I won't pay monies to unlock crap sooner, but I will pay monies to have a permanently sexy vanity item. If I could have even a militia Cal-Medium BPO with the exact same colors as the Caldari FW Proto Assault, or a militia Am-Medium BPO with the same colors as a Ammar FW Proto Commando, I'd seriously fork over twenty bucks just for that. If I could get a full set of a basic Cal-Ass, RR and Magsec or BP, with the Proto FW Cal Ass colors, I'd probably fork over 50 bucks or more just to have a fully-themed sexy suit and play full time in that.

If I really want to, I can also run a Viziam SCR on the BPO suit with ADV mods. No grenades,no equipment, no sidearm, and I can still come out of the match making a little isk profit.

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 2789	Posted - 2014.09.16 07:55:00 - [22] - Quote Why would people use crappy gear? BPOs are all STD but the modules are all MLT grade. People use them for two reasons. 1. Saving ISK. When you have freefits that arent starters you can potentially make more. 2. At 25 million SP STD gear might as well be 10m proto gear to the untrained newberry. Seriously, they only suck with crap skills.

Chances are I'm older than you and semi retired and have a lot of time to spend playing video games with my kids and doing whatever it is i feel like wasting time with, but good response none the less. Why do you have to be so condescending in your answer? It was a simple question.

Because it is dark grey with Orange Camo rather than tan. Of course I like the Raven and Valor Sentinel BPOGÇÖs better, so if one of those is releasedGÇª Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.
