and most goons started after the bpo lottery and i don't think any of our finance directors owns a single t2 bpo, we've had people advocate we get some as an alliance before and all those people quickly decided that was a bad idea once we showed them the math
really if you have a t2 bpo and didn't grab the money and run even before the announcement idk what the hell is wrong with you, you can make so much more with 250b than you can with a 250b t2 bpo and without much more effort Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |

Having spoke about this in corp recently with the guy who runs our T2 BPO library (pretty sure the largest single collection ingame) we were thinking of ways which CCP could possibly phase them out of the game in a fair way for all sides, the best solution we could come up with was replacing them all with X number BPC runs.
Thing is CCP has been whispering of changing T2 BPOs yearly since the lottery inception and the outcries of pubbies who started later than 04 about how it was unfair they were late to the party, and year after year there have been no changes (bar the introduction of invention, which was sorely needed I may add), so I wouldnt hold your breath and certainly wouldnt auction anything on maybes.
All in all well have to wait for solid announcements, and keep watching people tearing up. |

If they really wanted to remove them, they could probably just start buying them at market value using confiscated ISK, slowly and secretly, over a few years. Done slowly enough, the inclusion of that ISK in the economy would probably be negligible (and since it's confiscated ISK, it was already a part of the economy to begin with - it was just artificially removed), and purchasing them at market value eliminates any butthurt over their removal.
You wouldn't get the ones that aren't looking to sell at any price, but it's not a race, and they're not doing any actual harm beyond hitting a handful of crybaby have-nots in the feelings. |

this old/bad idea has been discussed so many times...
bad because:
1) 1 rare collector items is not the same as 1000xx consumptable BPC's, wich makes 99% of the value of a BPO 2) bringing in so many new BPC's would make inventions pointless for a very long time, wich would cause so much more whining 3) going into personal hangars of only a certain group of ppl is something CCP should never do imho, at least not in this scale(number of ppl, and value in isk) as everyone who is playing eve to grind might think "w/e im grinding for, CCP will take it away if only enough ppl will cry about it"

I still think it's wrong to remove/nerf them to death... but this is the only functional way to remove them... would be sort of fair, immediate, and permanent...would require soem GM time but after it's done, it's done. |

they go into everyone's hangars as they make a global change
i did not whine when they went into my nyx's hangars and removed its drones because they "only went into the hangars of supercarrier pilots", they made a global change that only affected certain people
well, that's cause they failed actually and i had the only nyx that could launch warriors in the game, but i would not have complained had they managed to do it right Head of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal Pubbie Management and Exploitation Division. |

At fanfest they said they're not going to give tech 2 BPO owners any isk for the BPO when they do the change of removing them. They said if you have one when the change happens you can cry all you want, but your not getting any isk for them from CCP. |

Before starting, I am one of the original T2 BPO owners in 2003 but have since sold them over the years and now retired with most of my time in pvp Found one that really stood out: http://themittani.com/news/fanfest-industry-panel-discussionApparently there was nothing worth noting by any CCP representative regarding t2 bpos in the stream but this site which is written by a Goon has been unusually enthusiastic in reporting about it and phrasing it in such a way that it will be removed soon. Their CSM representative was also looking forward to it very much While looking through the forums, I noticed several characters posting with the intention of destabilizing T2 BPO prices on every T2 BPO thread. Examples: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=342071&find=unreadhttps://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=342035&find=unreadMost of which can be traced to a Goon Main or used in a Goon scam before. I was surprised as obviously the biggest losers in this T2 BPO removal would be Goons as it is no surprise that they hold some of the largest amounts of t2 bpos in existence. However, they seem extremely supportive of the removal BUT there has been no liquadation of t2 bpos done by Goons It is obvious that their main intention is to scare the wider public into dumping their t2 bpos and buying up at dirt cheap prices while knowing that the removal of t2 bpos will likely never happen. Thoughts?
There is always space on the goonspiracy bandwagon. Furthermore, we must not fix a broken feature if goons are in favour of fixing it as well. |

You wouldn't get the ones that aren't looking to sell at any price, but it's not a race, and they're not doing any actual harm beyond hitting a handful of crybaby have-nots in the feelings. What's "market value"? You mean the hyper inflated prices people pay for them which is way above their functional value? Why would they do that, injecting a heap of illegally gained isk into the game at a price determined by the owners? They'd be better off just removing them completely. It would only make like 10 people quit, so who cares?
Realistically though, they are likely just to become non-functional, so they are for collections only. That way people dumb enough to have held onto them can say "look at the items I've got" while the actual industry system plods on with realistic changes able to be made to the invention system without worrying about the effects on T2 BPOs.

The reason they would need to is because like extra materials, T2 BPOs tie their hands when working with invention mechanics. They've stated that they will no separate the BPOs from the BPCs, so all changes they make to invented BPCs will spill over to BPOs. Their removal (or making them non-functional) would fix this. Oh and this is a little out of context. The quote here is that they'd be better off removing them that pouring trillions of confiscated isk back into the market to buy T2 BPOs at what players value them at (which is vastly above their functional value).
Agata Matahari wrote:why do you care? I don't, which is why I'm not fussed by CCPs announcements that they will be decreasing in value and inevitably removed. They need to do it to be able to properly iterate on invention, so in my opinion it's a good idea. People getting all teared up about their investments decreasing in value shouldn't hold them back from changes that need to be made.
Agata Matahari wrote:Wow, very qualified comment and such profound arguments. Seems you are pretty butthurt that 10 people seem to have t2 bpos and you don't. :D That must be it. I'm so poverty stricken I can't just go onto the sell orders forum and buy up some T2 BPOs. I always find this argument to be the weakest. You realise T2 ownership is exclusive to a club called "everyone" right? They aren't particularly expensive (though they are far too pricey for their return) and they are often on sale. The reason I don't currently own T2 BPOs is because they are simply not worth the investment. And no, I don't think only 10 people own T2 BPOs, I just think that if they removed them about 10 owners would ragequit, while the other would just HTFU and move on.
Agata Matahari wrote:That made me laugh. How old are you? 12? Envy is strong in this one. Yup, again, I'm mega envious. If only I could a afford to buy them... But here I am scraping in the dirt to afford frigates, right? Get over yourself buddy. Not everyone sits around dreaming of T2 BPOs, those of us that have been here long enough to have seen them come and go know that they are just a collectors item. Some people like collectors items, I personally don't. I'll continue to invest in profitable ventures instead. The Indecisive Noob - A new EVE Fan Blog for news and stuff.

Good job with the selective quoting.
Your quote: "we won't take them away, and screw you" actually finished with "completely, there will be some kind of transitional plan.". So yes, that says to me that they will be removed, just not without warning.
They also state "We needed to do something with T2 BPOs for a quite a long time", "the current status quo is not ideal" and "Part of their problem is their extreme value and that value is going to go down.". And yes, the value of an object that does exist that will not exist in the future can go down, in fact it will got to zero. I'd take that more as a sign that they will either keep the item as a collectors item and leave them non-functioning, or they'll replace them with something of a lower value that's commonly available in the game.
Overall though, there's no way they can freely work with invention while they exist, and I very much doubt they'll keep them around and have to build workarounds into the invention system just because it will make a few people sad if they remove them. Anyone that thought they would be around forever is either crazy or not very bright. The Indecisive Noob - A new EVE Fan Blog for news and stuff.

Nice one.
The point is that you stated that the value of something being removed can't go down, which is clearly incorrect. They could be removed by making them non-functioning collectors items, which would reduce their value heavily, while simultaneously removing them. They could also replace them with some T1 BPOs, or with some isk, or any number of other options. What he's saying is that they will be removed, and they will not be worth the inflated values they currently are when they go.
Otti Ottig wrote:anyway, title plus the flood of low-ball offers in sell orders says it all Then go ahead and bet on them staying. I really couldn't care less where you choose to invest your isk. If you want to gamble on them staying in game and remaining at the high value they are, that's your choice. Just don't start screaming and crying about how unfair CCP are when they remove them and destroy your investment.
The low ball offers are inevitable from the announcements made, since people will be trying to flip them from people trying to dump them to people that don't know better. The Indecisive Noob - A new EVE Fan Blog for news and stuff. Wholesale Trading - The new bulk trading mailing list. |

On top of that, it makes perfect sense. Reducing their effectiveness, and thus their value in stages, then removing them once their value reaches a certain level is not only a perfectly sound method of removal, but it also fits to what they said about a "transitional plan".
