Basically, you're asking to make it P2W.

It's what I'm eluding too what the community is asking for when they want BPO's.

BPO's ruin this game, they take away the meaning and value that gave this game a spice no other game has.

But beyond that, they ruin the economy of the game further then what PC did, at least with PC you had to work your way up to that point, BPO's give you instant satisfaction.

BPO's should be REMOVED from the game - not more added.

last month i went 58/9 with templar sentinel and standard hmg with no skills invested in amarr sentinel

suit was fitted with a militita plate and 2 militia repairers

I'm not by any means a good player, only started in february



I'm sure if you fitted your templar sentinel with 3 cmplx plates and ran with a logi, you could kick ass, and if you have level 3 skills in hmg then maybe fit a steelmine boundless and go to town



but no way should there be adv or proto bpo's

"Economy"

Saying that Dust has an economy is a huge over exaggeration.
Sure, it technically does, but it doesn't really play any large effect on the balance of the game, and people saving a few thousand ISK per match with a suit BPO isn't really as big of a deal as you make it out to be.

BPO - you buy them for looks? For what? When Open Beta came out - that would of made sense to me. Before each match you'd chill on Warbarge with the others, chat a bit, enjoy the different/same avatars.

But now there's almost no time spent there to show off what you have - so why are you buying BPOs with real life money?

The whole game you are showing off your suit. In the merc room, in the war barge, and in matches. Why get upset if people want to look a little different in a match?

... so you'd prefer CCP continue to put effort into BPO's?

Can we just say it straight: We've all lost faith in this game, just give us colors.

I have a feeling there's more to your argument than you let on because I don't know where this anger comes from. Just because I would like some more BPO's does not mean that A) I want CCP to abandon everything else or B) I've lost all faith with this game.

choosing our own color schemes through BPO's are a fun and relatively harmless way for players to further relate to their characters, and for CCP to make a little bit of money.

Also Rattati and his crew are still devoting an immense amount of time to things other than BPO's so they haven't given up on Dust either.

Dust has limited resources, they have to micromanage this entire games development with a much smaller team then they had originally planned. For every time CCP puts effort onto "BPO" is another month, 2 months, possibly more, that content and improvements are taken from you.

There is no separate teams working on separate things, here. When they work on one thing another thing will not be. Stop, Asking, For, BPOs. CCP will be more then willing to listen since it means $$$ for them - but it's exactly what this game DOESN'T need.

actually, that's exactly what ccp needs, more $$$. The more money dust makes, the greater the chances of us getting a client patch are.

Get out. Ignoring that existence of something because it's not good enough for you is exactly why people have no faith in forum posters in here.

BPO's ARE new content. just throwing that out.

And just because we're asking CCP for more BPO's doesn't mean we're getting them or even expecting them to deliver. It's the equivalent of a kid asking her dad for ice cream every time they go out. Her dad's not going to buy her any, but, if later on he wants to give her something nice, he knows she wants ice cream.

You make it sound like we're at their office doors with pitch forks and torches. Also, where did you read that BPO's take 2 months or more to implement? I would be more than surprised if it even took 2 weeks. And Finally, Rattati is smart enough to balance all of his responsibilities. He's not going to throw everything down the drain just to pump out BPO's.

So let us have our fun, and if you want to help out CCP, go buy a BPO or two.

well, I like BPO's and I'm going to keep on buying them. \(^_^ )/

Basically, you're asking to make it P2W.

Your Templar gear isn't dropping 30 bombs every game because Amarr gear is mediocre at best at the STD tier.

:D

I may ***** but I want everyone to be happy in the end - I know it doesn't seem that way, but when I denounce BPO's - it's so CCP can add something to honestly help the game/community. So many people want to like dust - return to it. But CCP's priority and thus-doings tell them not to come.

Sota is a troll. Ignore him.

That is actually a valid complaint, but BPOs still aren't the reason. It's the other way around, if anything.

CCP aren't doing any client updates, and that is why we don't have any new content lately.
Since game balance is finally ironing out, and real content can't be added without a client update, they had some time to make some BPOs for us.
