Abdiel Kavash Paladin Order Fidelas Constans 534	Posted - 2012.06.03 16:49:00 - [1] - Quote Q-SOLO : Your opinion about T2 BPOs ? QSb) leave them alone 1. What is your personal experience with invention ? 1a) no experience with invention For the record I do not own, have never owned, nor plan to ever own a T2 BPO either. 2. What is (in your opinion) better to invent for profit - an item with a T2 BPO or an item without T2 BPO ? 2c) what is better to invent for profit depends on item, regardless of T2 BPO existence 3. What would (in your opinion) be the consequence of removing all T2 BPOs from the game for T2 item prices ? 3c) nothing would change significantly I am not a market expert or an industrialist, but I know that BPO production is nowhere near enough to fill all the demand. Therefore the price is dictated by inventors - and it would be after the removal too. 4. What would (in your opinion) be the consequence of removing all T2 BPOs from the game for inventor numbers ? 4c) nothing would change significantly 5. What would (in your opinion) be the consequence of removing all T2 BPOs from the game for long term inventor profits ? 5c) nothing would change significantly Inventor profits don't depend on whether someone somewhere has a BPO. They depend on whether they can sell a finished item for more than they spend to make it, and by how much more. None of that would change by BPO removal. 6. What is your opinion about current T2 BPO market prices ? 6d) other - please specify I don't understand the question. Just as any player traded item on the market, they are as cheap as somebody is willing to sell them for, and as expensive as somebody is willing to pay for them. I could have an opinion about NPC prices set by CCP. How can I have an opinion either way about the true price of an item set by a free market? 7. What is your opinion about efforts made by current T2 BPO owners to own a VALUABLE T2 BPO ? 7d) no opinion / other - please specify They spent the current market price (see above) of the BPO. Exactly the same effort I made to buy myself a Rifter. 8. What is your opinion about efforts made by current T2 BPO owners to own a random one, on average ? 8d) no opinion / other - please specify Again I don't understand the question. Own "a random one"? WTB a random T2 BPO, I don't care which one, I just want to hang it on the wall and adore it? Perhaps something that would appeal to a collector. The effort required is the same though, pay the current market price for the currently lowest valued BPO. 9. Do you support removing T2 BPOs from the game ? 9b) I am against their removal 10. How would the removal or continued existence of T2 BPOs affect your subscription ? 10d) do not care / other - please specify I would be very enraged at CCP for arbitrarily removing a piece of player property. How would you feel if CCP decided to remove your Caldari Raven just because someone who flies a standard Raven can't run missions as fast as you, and isn't willing to spend their money to buy a CNR? However I have a corporation and an alliance to run, and they are too dear to me to quit over an idiotic decision by CCP. 11. How should T2 BPO owners be compensated for the removal of T2 BPOs, if they were removed ? 11d) other - please specify If they had to be removed for some reason, I think the only fair compensation would be refunding the price they paid for the BPO. I do not know how people who won the BPO in the lottery and still kept it to date should be compensated (if there are any such people left). 12. What would be the consequence to the EVE economy for granting that compensation ? Loads of ISK being magicked into existence. Again I'm not a market expert, but I heard that would be kind of bad.

If you think TII item prices wouldn't change significantly, where would the "much more ISK" come from? Do you think inventors would be able to procure materials much cheaper if there were no BPOs? Or invent/build more items in the same time using the same number of slots?
