This one is your best yet. Confirmed. My immediate response is "game is not going pay to win" though the current bug in the new suits makes them win pretty freaking hard. (Expect a fix.) The new BPOs tend to lead towards being a little more tanky, but lower on damage. I still expect properly fit ISK suits to carve them to shreds.* *When they're fixed.
When are you going to realize that Pay-to-Win is subjective to the players who are paying for the things and the players who aren't? Seriously, don't automatically dismiss whatever a person is saying because you disagree with it, makes me regret voting for you. Oh, ****, I didn't. Hah.
Seriously, there's nothing more infuriating than people bending the terminology to suit their argument.
Compare these two things:
League of Legends: Which allows you to buy different skins for your character but they don't really do anything other than change the skin. You can also buy characters early but they're no more powerful than the character if they're bought with in-game currency. By the way, you don't have to keep buying them once they've been bought for -either- side.
Dust 514: You can pay for your equipment with in-game currency every-time you lose it or you can shell out these fancy things call Dollar Bills and -never have to pay for the **** again-.
Which do you think is more closely aligned to pay-to-win?
Standard BPO's were already teetering on the edge of BS because there wasn't any loss in performance like Militia. Now we have "Pre-fitted" Proto BPO's which seems like a justification/excuse to me. Sure, it's pre-fitted with standard modules but when you look at an Amarr Sentinel; that value can't be beat. Why? Because -NOT ONLY- did you offer them up a PROTOTYPE BPO you offered them up -STANDARD MODULE BPOs- which aren't even available outside of those suits.
EDIT: Oh, one more thing, League of Legends? Doesn't have permanent, persistent, LASTING consequences that affect an entire game-world: New Eden.
Long-Term Roadmap
This Player is Against Proto BPOs
