lol @ the quafe tank. You will barely get anything for that well maybe you get a bit more then a STD tank but thats about it. And what ya gonna do if CCP decides next week to put all quafe weapons on the market like they did with the quafe LAV BPO's? And return in investment? Sounds like you spend alot of money on keys to get your hands onto that stuff.

Main issue still remains:
-single usage keys are too expensive
-its random what you get out of the box

I would maybe be willing to buy keys if they where around 100 AUR a pop but 800? HELL NO.
Maybe a other solution like a different kind of key. Call it "bruteforce key" and it has a 30-50% chance to open the strongbox and it costs somewhere around 50k ISK. If it fails you loose the key and the strongbox with it.

Or maybe a new subsystem for the warbarge that produces 1 key per day and more the higher the lvl. With a max of about 5 keys a day.

My point still stands. I will never support a decryption key BPO. After all, from a business perspective, it will reduce CCP's steady income that they get from selling single-use keys. That's like selling a Booster BPO. It will make them money in the short term, but the long-term returns will diminish if more and more players have them.

PS: I'm signing right here to say that I will never purchase a Decryption Key BPO if the idea is ever considered by CCP.

I know there are very active people with thousands of strongboxes. So what would be a adquate pricetag to be aible to open all of your current strongboxes and all strongboxes you would receive in the future? In my opinion it would be worth ~100k AUR cause you allways have a chance to get one of the racial dropsuits, quafe weapon BPO's, quafe LAV BPO's and ofcourse officer weapons. Just think about it. It would make it appealing for those who previously didnt bought any keys and will not buy any keys in the future. In my opinion this thing needs to happend. It would turn the feeling of "oh damnit not another strongbox..." into "yes ive got another strongbox to open!". I for myself have over ~550 strongboxes sitting in my assets and im not willing to put money into the single usage keys. Im sure there are tons of people who think the same and it would make a key BPO very appealing. Plus beeing aible to open constantly strongboxes would mean that the keys that we earn trough missions could be saved up for trading later on. Ive mande a quick estimated cost check how much AUR it would cost me to open 550 boxes: - 10 key bundle set= 6.000 AUR - i got 550 boxes - 550:10= 55 key bundles - 55X6000= 330.000 AUR Im not willing to pay 330k AUR to open all my boxes but i would be willing to pay 100k for a key BPO. Think about it CCP, charge me one time or charge me never for it. Its your choice. I make the scrubs scream and the vets cry.

I would say a price-tag on something like that would run closer to 400,000 Aurum. I would strongly consider buying a Key BPO. I am currently sitting on 1,640 Encrypted Strongboxes. 400k would be way too much. It needs to be reasonable and not a luxury item. After all that would be around 200Gé¼ and stronboxes will still be random rewards. I make the scrubs scream and the vets cry.

Not like on eve where you have a marketplace, put your item on the table with a pricetag and wait till somebody comes by and purchases it. The argument of "the rich are getting more benefits" what you think is going to happend with all the officer weapons? People with tons of ISK will just buy that stuff and have no issues with that. Just look @ CAP acq for example who have tons of districts. They just need a friendly corp to attack their district and then the attacker no shows. The defending corp collects the money and splits it with the attacking corp. PC district farming is real and it still generates ALOT of ISK. And that ISK will be used to monopolise playertrading. If you dont see that then you need a reality check. Another thing is there is allready a steady influx of officer weapons and suits cause the warbarge produces them every day. The only thing that will be somewhat worth might be the specialised gear from FW. Ya know the 5 sec uplinks. proto weapons with ADV fitting costs etc. Thats where ISK will be made cause those weapon variants are avaible on the market and grant a excessive fitting advantage. And lol BPO's you can purchase allmost any BPO in the game stright from the marketplace allready. You really think you will get 100 million ISK+ for a apex suit? You might get somewhere around 50 mil and thats it cause allmost every guy on this game has one of them allready. I make the scrubs scream and the vets cry.

PS: I'm signing right here to say that I will never purchase a Decryption Key BPO if the idea is ever considered by CCP. The same idea was applied when CCP removed every kind of BPO from the market cause they hoped that regular AUR suits/weapons would give them a better income. And now take a look around what happend. We have all militia BPO's, apex suits, LAV BPO's, FW APEX BPO'S etc. The game is bloated with them and i for example have every militia BPO and some suits from closed beta when they where very cheap (not stating the pricetag for it).
