They should have removed them already in my honest opinion. There is simply no reason to allow them to remain at this point. Invention is to the point that it could easily take up the slack now.
All allowing them has done is to allow those t2 holders to make more profit than what is allowed through invention. Invention requires more effort, and therefore should have a greater reward.
Hopefully they will remove them all in Revelations III, it is long overdue.

It already has a much bigger reward compared to the initial investment. If you buy a t2 BPO it takes 9-12 months on average to break even on the investment, invention can start to net a profit in 1 day already.
Depends, some things are just not viable to invent because the t2 bpo holders have just lowered their prices on some items to the point there is no way to recover your loss.
Also it is practically impossible to recover the cost of invention on day 1. You have to recover the cost of the data interface, datacores, extra time to train special skills to invent, cost of extra skills, base item (if you use one) and decryptor (if you use one). You then also have to figure in the loss of failed invention into the equation. Thus on many t2 items it is not really possible currently to make a profit through invention.
This isn't to say you can't and on some items you can make a decent profit. However on many items, you cannot currently make a profit using invention.

Originally by: Rashmika Clavain If the T2 BPO's are to remain in the game, then I think the invention success rate or the dice roll calculations need to be tweaked slightly. I also think that the BPC ME/PE levels used should affect the output.
While I agree invention is there to help control tech2 prices, to leave the tech2 BPO's in game creates a massive inequity. It's a **** sandwich, and someone somewhere is going to have to take a bite at some point.
I am very interested as to how CCP will approach this, although I suspect they haven't worked that one out either
I can agree with this sentiment
