is the dumbest idea ever combined with the flattened damage rates on all guns there is next to no reason for anyone to use higher tier weapons besides AV weopons because it's 1000x cheaper to use the exile then just slap a damage mod on it or just go with the increased damage from skills because when you see proto suits with standard guns on them there's something clearly wrong

It's only 4k isk for the same effective weapon.

Thats 4k per death.

or maybe.... JUST MAYBE... you use something besides an AR



Just saying

Also for what I can tell, BPO's wont be entirely free in the final release anyways. Much like EVE, the blueprint is only part of the cost associated with manufacturing; materials are also required. It has always been my assumption that even BPO's will require materials to produce, and thus not be "free". In short, BPO would simply save you some marginal cost because you would not need to purchase a BPC, but still need to have the materials on hand.

Not sure about that.
Did someone else read that all our precious modules and weapons etc are blueprint copies, with blueprint originals highlighted?
Perhaps in the intro video of the game itself?

That would mean that both BPC's and BPO's would manufacture the physical item on the spot. Either from t-¦hin air or some limited pool of resources (that's what I thought initially first hearing the term 'warpoint' that each warbarge would be carrying a pool of nanite mass or something called warpoints)

This is why I've been trying to fight all standard BPOs (The tribute suits and merc pack items.) My threads on features have been swarmed with people who want Pay to win. Some people on there actually want proto BPOs.

CCP needs to make money somehow, and selling standard equipment BPO's is pretty much the least disruptive way they can use to get freeloaders to pay up some.

Important matches will be going full proto/advanced, and the standard BPO's will just make the grinding games cost less per clone. Want free grinding gear? Then pay CCP a few bucks.

Ya this is has been discussed at nausem but bares repeating. I think once CCP re-adjusts AR damage between classes this will sort itself out.

The BPO standard stuff does save you a lot of money when you don't use anything else but they are def. no type 2 or above. And once you are able to make these fits make you money not only are you a more powerful merc but more versatile.

With the standard BPOs one can gain a lot of money but won't be a huge factor in a game.

Anyways, Selling one permanent item for 2 dollars will make you FAR less money than selling consumable items for a penny. BPOs should stay out of non-militia gear so ccp CAN make money.

i dont use AR's at all

And we need as many cosmetic items as possible to cater to special snowflakes. I mean, that's what the Noble Exchange in EVE is all about.
