I would gladly shell out ~11000 AUR for any of the quafe BPO weapons or ~21000 AUR for any of the new fw BPO suits that will be released in Warlords 1.0. Why oh why are they only available in strongboxes? I don't want to gamble away $400 USD on opening strong boxes for a bunch of junk that I don't want, and then I probably wouldn't acquire the items that I do want.
Please offer these items in the marketplace for a reasonable cost. I will never pay a dime for decryptor keys as I am not a gambler.
* For the first time, Mercenaries will be able to receive BPO items by random chance, as the following new Standard Weapon and Dropsuit BPO's have been added to the Strongbox:
- 'Quafe' Heavy Machine Gun.
- 'Quafe' Forge Gun.
- 'Quafe' Nova Knives.
- 'Quafe' Mass Driver with matching color visual effect.
- 'Quafe' Swarm Launcher with matching color visual effect.
- 'Quafe' Assault Rifle.
- 'Quafe' Plasma Cannon with matching color visual effect.
- 'Quafe' Shotgun.
- 'Quafe' Rail Rifle.
- 'Quafe' Sniper Rifle.
- 'Quafe' Laser Rifle with matching color visual effect..
- 'Quafe' Scrambler Rifle.
- 'Quafe' Combat Rifle.
* Introducing new Factional BPO dropsuits, obtainable from Strongboxes:
- 'Tash Murkon' STD Amarr Sentinel.
- 'Tash Murkon' STD Amarr Scout.
- 'Brutor' Minmatar STD Logistics.
- 'Brutor' Minmatar STD Commando.
- 'Kaalakiota' Caldari STD Assault.
- 'Kaalakiota' Caldari STD Scout.
- 'Roden' Gallente STD Scout.
- 'Roden' Gallente STD Commando.

Yes, but there is also an online trading card game called Hearthstone where you can craft any card, even the rare cards. The Hearthstone crafting system allows you to melt down all of those useless duplicates and exchange them for something you want. If I can use the warbarge to craft meself some quafe BPO weapons, then that's cool.
Besides, until we have player trading, then any aspect of Dust 514 that relies on a TCG mechanic is a fail. First player trading, then strongboxes; let's not get ahead of ourselves. |

I don't mind that strongboxes are in the game.
I want to know what I am spending money on, so I won't pay for decryptor keys, but acquiring keys as battle salvage is fun.
I don't mind that cool items are in strongboxes, but I think that there should be an alternate way of acquiring those items for those who don't gamble.
Maybe some folks think that strongboxes are fun, while others enjoy planning their expenses. There is room for both. I'm requesting that CCP cater to both kinds of players.

First player trading, then strongboxes; let's not get ahead of ourselves. I don't disagree with you, but I want to highlight the usage of a specific word you used: Fail It's fails to satisfy you and some other players. It succeeds in making CCP wheelbarrows full of cash. Now, which of those two situations do you think CCP really cares about?
Agreed, the ends justify the means when it comes to business.
I suppose I meant a fail in rationale. CCGs work because when you get dups or worthless crap, then you can cash them in and get the goodies you want. I don't think that CCP has implemented a CCG compliant system yet, but if they are raking in loads of cash, then who can argue with that? Honestly, I don't follow their financial positions.
I think there's room for both strongboxes and marketplace offerings. Different strokes for different folks. |

BPO is different from officer gear. It is mlt and std level gear. There are unique items in the game aside from quafe BPO. |
