Getting the thread back on track. The permanent suits need to have a cost per use.

Well lucky for the skinweave, raven, valor and sever suits!
Feel free to use militia suits that you have to replace with isk each time you die (if they give in to your request to make them BPC), I'll stick with my BPO suits for now

Everything Cross Atu said is not only correct, it's agreeable.

As a side note, I don't even see what the problem is. "Oh boy oh boy, these people are wearing T1 suits but don't have to restock their suits now. I wanna ***** moan and complain because I'm too greedy to spend real money to get it too."

Well boohoo effing hoo. These people are putting down REAL money, not monopoly money, not ISK, not SP. REAL MONEY, money that they could spend on a THOUSAND different REAL LIFE things that would be far more useful to them than what they spend on here for the AUR to buy an item.

If these suits weren't BPO, what in god's unholy blasphemous name would they have a reason to buy these suits with AUR they could spend on skill boosters or whatever else the eggheads at CCP come up with. Some nice color changes? I'd feel like a mentally ******** monkey if I wasted money to get a color change that I have to restock with AUR. Well, actually I am one cause I did spend money on an AUR suit that took too damned much to restock.

People who buy a BPO suit with real money shouldn't have that taken from them. They need a reason to bother putting down real money for something that's more than just a color change. So if you really wanna make them BPCs, then give them stats that are superior to non-AUR suits... Then have the game broken by that concept. Otherwise, quit complaining. These people aren't given a huge advantage over others, hell, it's basically going from militia(crappy) gear to standard(at least I won't die twenty times now) gear. It's not a huge improvement and won't break the game.

What will, is if they allow a person to spend AUR and get a BPO proto suit or any lvl dropship/HAV. THAT is a game breaker, this... This is nothing. This is just all of you whining because you don't want to spend AUR to get them.

I agree with many of the points made. The balancing with isk, aur, plex and materials will be a difficult and time consuming project for CCP. My only addition would be to add my voice to an earlier post in the pages:

Step back from the game and see that CCP is a business. Businesses are in business for a profit, the fact that they get to make games is a perk. To turn a profit they will find ways to make money, distress a few players, but not to the point of breaking the game - a promise of CCP's was not a pay to win (cavity thukker aside). And that is still the way it remains. I get a permanent suit BPO because I gave the business money, in return i don't have to worry about Isk for militia level drop suits. I can use my ISK savings for other things. It is just another tactic - adapt to survive - sacrifice to get what you want.
