I'm not a huge fan of this for reasons stated by everyone else here. Keep in mind however that high cost protogear is meaningful only if you are not playing eve. I fully intend to start playing eve only to mine isk. I will always run protogear. |

The problem with this is that you'll have BPO suits running more BPO modules, and so were back to the same problem. High end Aur BPO is essentially pay to win, but any corporation with isk to burn equates this anyways. I've heard EVE capsuleers can easily mine crazy amounts of isk in proportion to the cost of our equipment. The issue here is that casual gamers or those who are not willing to invest in aur, or an eve account, are at a noticible disadvantage. I imagine CCP wants to keep dust accessible to everyone, otherwise they'll have a F2P game with a limited number of players. Doesn't sound exactly profitable. |

To introduce upper Meta BPOs would damage the over all balance and quality of the game moving it dangerously close to (if not outright into) 'pay to win' territory. The higher the Meta Level of the gear in question (suit, vehicle or mod) the more damage to the overall game it does.
Dust comprises a war between immortals where control of resources, rather than death, provides the true gain. And were loss of resources, rather than kills, are how one truly wounds an enemy.
Remove the risk of losing those suits, mods, vehicles et al while still allowing someone to field the best gear and you cut the heart out of both balance and fun within D514.

This is true, but how do we combat rich eve players financing dust corps? I intend to start playing eve so I can spam proto gear. This is in effect the same as upper tier BPO. |
