I was thinking, BPOs really are a bad idea, in their current state anyways.
When I first heard about DUST, I didn't care about the EVE connection but the fact actions had consequence, you killed someone, they lost stuff, it made the game a lot more entertaining for me, but I've been here for a while now, must be about a year and I just don't get that feeling of ISK even being a factor in fights anymore, especially when people tell me they've got 100s of millions because all they do is run Militia BPOs to grind ISK.
CCP, how could you think unlimited free stuff for a one time fee would be a good idea? Would it not of been saner to allow the purchase of monthly based items, sort of like Blacklight? You purchase your item for aurum and it'll stay for a period of time, rather than a one time fee for something you'll keep forever..
Now I know the BPOs help people out, and I'm guessing I'll get a little amount of responses or some hate, but overall I feel it's detrimental to the game (I think I used that word right.. R.I.P. English).
Also, Forums are now my personal Blog. |

Perhaps changes to the way you earn ISK is a better way than to remove them, looking at EVE you can get BPOs and build unlimited for yourself (assuming you get the minerals etc ofc). So perhaps a similar way would be needed in dust then, or make sure there's a viable market to use - I know I can go through a lot of suit ISK when not running BPO - and usually it costs me 3-4x more than I make (because I suck).
/c
I've always stuck by the idea of having a single free suit in the game, a race specific Starter Medium Suit and Rifle (So, Caldari AR, Amarr SCAR etc) with no modules so that you can earn money but not use them constantly, eventually you'd want a nanohive or a Needle or something better than such a basic suit.
I also feel there should be other ways to earn money rather than just battling, DUST 514 is considered to be a MMOFPS, not just a persistent FPS, we should have MMO aspects to the game other than chatting.
Possible Mining System:
Instead of BPOs being instant weapons, you get an additional suit alongside your starter suit with just a Basic Mining Gun and prospecting kit, both of which have ISK variants and a skill associated with them, Mining includes faster and stronger guns so that you can mine deposits and the prospecting kit can be improved to locate minerals and ores faster as well as find larger deposits.
You can then enter districts with a Squad and begin to mine. I think this would work well with PvE elements added, with drones possibly coming along and being an issue. Mining then provides you with a way to create your BPO items. |

oh HEY, wait a minute.
With this new mining idea, they can now AFK in their own instance, make the same pay as peo[ple who fight and not affect battles. We can call it.. Semi-Passive SP/ISK generation.
GENIUS?!!?!
re-read the mining idea, it's active mining, you have to actually locate deposits and mine it. Ay Eff Kay equals No More Pay. |
