An those that have brought the BPO?
They should get nothing?
What the expended?
yep, costing a few people a little bit of ISK has never bothered CCP for any other game mechanic theyve changed.
Ill have your stuff and dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out tbh.

Boy, nerfing something is different from removing it.
T2 BPO have been nerfed when invention was introduced and every time invention has been made easier.

I would argue that T2 BPOs are more in the vein of the thousands of BMs people had before wtz was introduced.
In this case however CCP have deigned to let people keep the bookmarks and the warp to zero.
Boy.

Blah ...Blah ...Blah ...Blah Blah.. ---- T2 BPO... Nerf... Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah...unfair... Blah, Blah, Blah... whaaaaaaaa!!!!
Ok that sums up all the noobins wannabe communists who want to take away my hard earned BPOs. I say bite me. If you want them, then do what I did, EARN ENOUGH ISK USING YOUR F-ING BRAINS God Gave YOU them brains for a reason - and BUY THE DAMNED BPOs. EVE is NOT A FAIR GAME, EVE has the HAVEs and the HAVENOTs. But, nothing stopping a player from earning ISK by their wits and ingenuity, and entering into a T2 BPO market, and making 2-5% Return on the billions upon billions of investments.
Yep  This pretty much sums it up.

Fundamentally I still see this not as a question of right or wrong but of what will CCP do? Nothing? Nerf BPOs? Buff invention? Increase moongoo? We can debate what they should do till we're old and grey but what difference will that make - it's what we think they will do that could cost us (or make us) ISK.
CCP removed the lottery and T2 originals because they thought it was a broken mechanic, rightly or wrongly in our opinion is irrelevant, they thought it was so they did it. Whilst it may have been a major instigator they didn't do this because of some dev sneaking them to his mates - if the dev had been sneaking them battleships would they have removed battleships from the game? The dev blog (http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=431) lists all the reasons why they think invention is a better more sustainable long term solution and I believe (and this is just a belief, feel free to disagree) that CCP's intention was to ultimately have all T2 production via invention, I believe they didn't want one system to be an alternative to the other. Now at the time, rightly or wrongly, they decided to let the existing BPOs remain in the hope that over time they would get blown up, get trashed etc and invention would smoothly take over.
That two and a half years later originals still account for over half of all T2 ships produced I suspect comes as something of a suprise to CCP. You don't remove what you believe (rightly or wrongly) to be a broken mechanic only to see it still employed on such a scale two and a half years later.
This is what interests me, not what CCP should do but what will they do? Have you (or a venture you're invested in) got backing based on a T2 BPO as collateral? If that value were to get wiped out would the associated venture/loan begin to look risky? Would you want to call it in?
