No one is forcing anyone to buy a BPO, people just want them.
Good for CCP=good for players.
Tell me more about how people fighting in PC and burning suits in all out wars ruins the economy, while an item that prints INFINITE free suits is good for the economy. |

Well, I'd say the TRILLIONS OF isk that now exist making it so people can run Proto 24/7 in pubs broke the economy. Not the suits weapons or mods that cost between 300-1500 isk each.
How much does a round of EMP S cost in Eve?
How many such rounds are burned every day?
Is ammo an important part of the Eve economy?
Making infinite amounts of an economy's consumable is unsustainable, and the only reason CCP can get away with selling more BPOs is that the Dust economy is a dead end, and will never interact with Eve.
If the economy would interact with Eve, the influx of ISK would cause the "problem" of players running running proto gear just as you have the "problem" of players in Eve running bling-fits.
Honestly proto gear offers such a marginal advantage that the main complaints against it are psychological. I've run with people doing **** poor, going negative with abysmal warpoints, cussing to the sky about those nasty proto stompers, when it's really a skill and effort thing.
Matchmaking is the solution to closing that disparity, and anyone who disagrees also probably has delusions about being able to out-dunk Micheal Jordan, were he in sandals and you in some Air Jordans.
But another issue is, where would the ISK come from in Dust to run that proto gear if a player chooses to?
The only actual revenue in the game was slammed shut in an overreactive measure, instead of being toned down with a few iterative measures to reduce income and increase accessibility to other players. And THAT has caused a PERMANENT disparity that fuels the hatred for "proto stompers". |

I am curious why BPO's are coming back in and "for a limited time only." What changed exactly? It's pretty simple, really - you guys, the Mercenaries in DUST 514 wanted BPOs back, at least that's what we've seen here on the Forum, and that's what we've been told in-game by our players.
Yes, there was demand, but the true reasons these are a reality are that:
1) CCP needs to get paid, and there's nothing wrong with that.
2) Dust will never be tied into the Eve economy, so it's ok to have a game breaking feature like BPOs that print infinite equipment. |
