Everyone had the same warning, and most of us started researching all our existing stocks to 10-10.
Well the intention is verifiable as this BPO has been in the oven continuously since bought except for a few hours when the research job was finished during my nighttime but that is irrelevant, as the point remains : i have spent 8 months more in research than someone who had brought his BPO to level 5, and those 8 more months SHOULD COUNT.
I could not help but notice that EVERY patch does something new by "leveling" advantages of players who have spent a lot of time to get them. |

DEV pls answer this one too as i would like to know WHY do i have to lose 8 months of research ? As opposed to some people who get reimbursed or get bonuses for training for 14 days a skill that is becoming absolete ( and, more importantly, GET their concerns answered by devs in forums ) ? |

That works out at ~2 months from 9 to 10, compared to ~2 years for someone whose blueprint bumps up to 9 on Tuesday.
My blueprint is coming out of the oven at level 9 AFTER the crius release. And i will have the same time to get it to 10 as any of the people that had it at level 5. Bottom line, i lose 8 months of research that i have invested in order to have a BETTER BPO. Why ?

Ok, thank you. Guess that some people can get bonuses and refunds for their missed time but only the people YOU like.
"SORRY" really covers my payments to you CCP. Silly me. Should have stopped paying 8 months ago. Will know better next month. |
