IMO they should be removed for one reason: You should never give a small group of players an imperishable item that is impossible for the rest of the community to acquire.
Players that have t2 bpo's do not have to work as hard as others to make their product and can make it cheaper since they never have to purchase BP copies. If you research your own then it's more effort and cost to research, if you buy the copies then it's added manufacturing expense. It's a permanent advantage.
Sure you can "just buy" a BPO on contract and spend the next 2 to 3 years paying for it with sales until you've made up the cost and can call everything else profit. How would that ever be worth it when that isk could have been put to way better use making you more isk. =============================== Two words: Internet Spaceships |

Originally by: Akita T If that would be universally true, why would T2 BPO owners not think the same and elect to sell all their blueprints ?
Because, why would you sell a guaranteed thing? There is a difference between making up the cost of such a purchase and just squatting on guaranteed cash flow. For the person who got it for free they know they are financially secure for as long as this game is around, assuming their bpo is something that people use and will continue to use, like a tech 2 gun. They don't have to spend years making up the cost since they got it for free. For someone buying them they have spend a very long time producing and selling this product before they can count any type of profit.
So now you have a population of players who no longer have to worry about making isk to support what they want to do. At least not like the rest of the population does.
Akita you're never going to convince the majority of the game community that do not have this unfair advantage that this perfectly fine. =============================== Two words: Internet Spaceships |

Originally by: Akita T I don't *have* to convince anybody, and nobody has to convince *me*. CCP is already convinced T2 BPOs are fine, so they WILL stay, unless somebody can convince THEM that the trouble they'd get for removing them would be offset by some greater benefits later on. I am merely attempting to keep the constant flow of threads crying and throwing tantrums about how evil T2 BPOs are and why they just have to go to a minimum, namely ONE single thread.
Then honestly Akita why even start this thread if you'll only rationalize the entire topic. The fact remains that you (assuming you have tech 2 BPO's) are playing with a different set of manufacturing rules then the majority of industrialists and no one likes it. But we deal with it and move on. =============================== Two words: Internet Spaceships |

Also Akita if you're really this worried about justifying these BPO's and this afraid of having them taken away, by all means keep making 38 page threads about it and let CCP see just how many people are against this lol. =============================== Two words: Internet Spaceships |
