1. I love my BPOs, I actually think their presence in the game is a net positive for Dust, yes even in New Eden. I do the "collector" thing and have gathered almost all of them. All of that having been said I must respond NO! to your suggestion. BPOs should be STD and MLIT levels nothing above ever. Also AUR gear in general should at no time have versions that are better than their ISK variants. Just because I'm willing to throw IRL money at the game doesn't mean that others should have to just to compete. That would kill the game.
2.Some guns don't have them, CCP has said their looking at scop mods for a later release but that those mods will be keyed to racial types so you may or may not be in luck. As to the BPO mods... eeeh, we'll have to see how they work when they come out before we can see if that's a viable option.
3. Both shotty and MD have character skills that effect their performance and rely heavily on positioning to be effective. I've tested both extensively and see no reason for a change at this point... after all at this point the double melee [bug?] is more deadly in CQC than the shotty.
4. +1 on this, I know it's a complex feature but sooner rather than later CCP.
5. Two things here, first you're talking about Precision Strikes unless you're playing PC or FW with active EVE support in the sky. I know they both kill from above and cost 2500 WP to use but they're not actually the same thing.
Second 2500 WP is fine, this was tested in closed beta and the number established as a baseline. If one squad can earn 10k WP then 4 OB/PS is quite fair, also don't clump up and those strikes won't be such a problem. The active squads I run in know when we're risking that strike, sometimes its worth the risk and sometimes we spread out more, it's a tactical trade off.
6. Buy a militia DS and go hot drop them or crush them. Alternately buy a sniper rifle (you have a covenant right?) and snipe them. I've had great success with both. Failing those just work around their ZoC and leave them haning with nothing to do.
7. Sure I can support this for meta 1 and below only. Anything more and your degrading game quality and balance. P2W is not a good way to run a game.
8. There are no "PC users", if you'd like that to change asked Sony. That being said I'll assume you mean KBM users. Separating players by input device isn't a good call for a number of reasons even if this weren't a sandbox game. Since it is a sandbox game that sort of thing is directly in conflict with the fundamental nature of the game.
I'm glad you like the game, I hope you continue to like and play the game but there's something we should clear up. The game caters to player innovation, players making meaningful persistent choices, player specialization, and yes some diverse methods of play. What it doesn't offer, and has never offered, is player "difficulty options" there is no slider for easy/medium/hard. This is all one world (though you can choose where to fight in it) and some things have too great an impact on the world in general to count as just a difference of opinion or play style. P2W, high meta BPOs, and unlimited respecs all fall into that "too far to be viable" category.
