If you want to produce a T2 Item, you can invent it. Invention is the alternative to a BPO that has similar benefits (you create a T2 item).
Faction towers take less effort to run and run more efficiently than regular towers, T2 BPOs take less effort to run and run more efficiently than Invention.
If you're lazy and want that ease of use and efficiency (that's really not that much easier than Invention, especially in cases of fluctuating markets, where good market awareness might be the only thing to keep you in the black, while an inventor can simply switch away from the volatile market), T2 BPOs go on sale pretty regularly.

Fine, I'll clarify. They are limited and if you want to collect them then you can because there won't be any more (as they exist today). However, they have a real purpose isn't duplicated by any other item: to create T2 without the invention process and make a ton of ISK while doing so. So they have unique purpose in the game other than being collected.
Also I think one point I'm trying to make is, they should not be collector's items any more than a Raven BPO should be. |

How exactly is the invention process so burdensome that it isn't a valid alternative to T2 BPOs? I've actually found that the barrier to entry is fairly low. Ramping up research/production is costly, but then so is seriously producing off of any BPO, especially one with so many component inputs.

Then tell me, what rationale besides "It's a collectors item" do you have for a Scimitar BPO (which earns about 4b a month) being valued by the market (as in, this is what it sold for) at half a Trillion ISK? And how is making a .7% monthly return on an investment "making a ton of ISK?"
And I could say that about faction Towers. Their ability to last longer without being refueled isn't duplicated by any other tower. And their fuel savings make a ton of ISK while being convenient in that way. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

Well, collector's value aside for a moment, I suppose someone decided that 4B a month income with a half hour effort was worth that much investment. I actually would maybe consider that if I had that much to invest.
I think really the point I'm trying to make is: that Scimitar BPO price is ridiculous. See this:
Traedar wrote:Would you pay 10B ISK for a T1 Raven hull? I mean, come on, if you mission for an hour a day it will only take you 5 years to make 100% profit! Or would you sooner buy a Raven BPO from NPC and build one yourself? ... and ...

FYI there was a lot more shenanigans back in those days than just CCP Devs giving T2 BPOs to BoB. Like intel given to players about which NPC corps they were most likely to win the lottery with. Things of that nature.
Not to mention their exploits and EULA violations that had nothing to do with invention.
They (or some at CCP at least) basically didn't have much respect for their players in those days, IMO.

Really lets make eve a world class game by removing local in null and low, introducing anti-bot code and banning those caught botting, removing T2BPO's.
Lets do all this in time for the integration with Dust. If people moan about it too much CCP just go for a full server restart and blame it on a hardware failure. :) Kugutsumen - My signature insures that my post is always read by an ISD or Dev, does yours? |

you dont really get what a collector is im afraid. Nobdoy calls T2 BPO`s out as collector items but for the pure fact that they are rare (there are like 50 tounry ships of each but only 15-20 T2 ships per kind) and cannot be replaced.

you and your dramatic statements about thing beeing unique in a certain way.... fine, a t2 BPO is the only thing that can make T2 items without using a copy in the game....so? a Freki is the only Rifter Hull class that has a bonus for webbing, boost rifters
try as much as you want, you cant talk away that T2 BPO`s are collector items.

No one complains about rare hulls because rare hulls are easily popped or stolen if they are used or shared, The point is that T2BPO's can not be stolen when shared nor can they be destroyed as there is zero reason to move them from a station. A perfect nerf would be to only allow T2BPO's to be used outside high sec and only physically in a pos. This would bring them in line with rare ships. You could keep your t2bpo in a station alongside a unique ship but you should not be able to use it or profit from it.

I have to agree, Not moving T2 BPO's is not good for the economy, they should at the very least be made in a way where they can easily be stolen if shared.
it would be nice to see T2 manufacture move to Lowsec or nulsec |

First off, if you want a ship with a web bonus you can use a Loki or I believe Huginn.
Also I am not calling a T2 BPO a "collector's item" the way that a Freki is a collector's item. I think this is the post of mine that you missed.

yea its not a secret that you have to agree anything that brewlar says, even tho the entire topic of "can be stolen" is just stupid...
How does switching the owner help the situation of T2 BPO`s destroying the market etc? Does it matter if the BPO stays the same but is used by a different owner? Did u fail to steal a T2 BPO or what?

So? if you want a t2 ship, invent it of a t1 copy... you see there are always alternatives that work but in the case of T2 production you guys have to cry about the only alternative that you are apparently not able to use as you simply cannot afford it. If you ask me, its a pretty shady and childish attitude. |

There are any number of things you can do with 5 Trillion ISK that would earn far more than 40 billion ISK a month. Those BPOs cost you exactly 0 isk. so 40 billion per month for 0 isk investment is quite good.

T2BPO ROI is off the charts. If we take a value of RP invested into the ''lottery'' and we look at the value of the T2BPO's dished out. The return in investment is phenomenal. The original investment for a T2BPO was nothing and that nothing could become an instant 600 billion along side a guaranteed 5 billion isk risk free per month on the very best blue prints.

Untill T2BPO's are removed from the game the EVE online economy will be nothing but a sham and to call it player driver is slanderous and false advertising. CCP controls the eve economy through gifts to players.
You have a very odd definition of Instant, since that Scimitar BPO couldn't have spawned any time later than 5 years ago.
5 years is instant. Brewlar Kuvakei, everyone!

Such a lottery could only exist in a fictional economy such as EVE's. Anyone who says the eve economy is player driven or realistic is wrong for this reason.
CCP controls the eve economy and until they remove T2BPO's that will always be the case. As long as T2BPO's remain CCP has no right to call the eve realistic. It is purely a fabrication driven by them. Kugutsumen - My signature insures that my post is always read by an ISD or Dev, does yours? |

If there exist any BPO for these items at all, like they do for say a Raven, then why can't I buy one in the game via PVE? This is what I mean when I say, a T2 BPO should not be a collector's item any more than a Raven BPO should be. They should be available for anyone to get (via PVE).

Nope. You had to win the lottery. And even then, there was a good chance of getting a ****** BPO.
The lottery was meant to represent the vagaries of scientific research. There are plenty of people who invent something new and get rich off of it. That's what the lottery was meant to represent.
But enough about the game mechanics of 5 years ago. To make an argument for removing T2 BPOs from the game, you either need to make a case for the availability of Time Travel or for T2 BPOs causing actual harm to the game now, not 5 years ago.
You've failed on both counts. You've failed on the second count repeatedly. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

A T2 BPO's function is to create a T2 Item. Invention can also do this. So a T2 BPO uses a little less effort then invention, just like a Faction tower takes a little less effort to run. So a T2 BPO consumes a little less ISK in production, just like a Faction tower takes a little less ISK to run.
Just like if you want the convenience of a faction tower, you have to buy one from another player, if you want the convenience (and terrible ROI) of a T2 BPO, you have to buy one from a player.
An unlimited seed of T2 BPOs would simply destroy the invention profession, and in the process make T2 manufacturing about as profitable as T1 manufacturing.
Just because you want something but are too cheap to pay market value for it doesn't mean it's CCP's duty to provide it to you. EvE: Everyone vs Everyone

Remove the ability to lock down BPOs and everyone's manufacturing alt will be in a one man corp. Industrial "Corps" will simply be chat channels. CEO's who want to help their newer industrialists by providing access to spare BPOs won't be able to do so.
Sounds like a grand improvement.
