I think this is bull**** how they distribute those things. Price should be driven by costs associated with production/research, not greed of individials who got lucky on the lotery. I wish they would just change whole thing to work simularly to how tech 1 market works (still more money to be made, you don't compete with looted modules) and scrapped whole research lottery as unsuccessfull experiment.

player run economy? yet they totaly screwed up tech 1 market with loot drops. Its not player run economy. If they made only money or named devices drop then may be, but ever tried to make money on anything that is more or less common? Like MWDs or ABs, small/medium guns? You make a bit if you play smart, but its realy hard and realy not worth an effort. There are crap load of them on the market at prices barely over the production costs. People are reprocessing loot left and right because they can't see anything. its not realy player run economy.

How about this:
instead of distributing bpos via lotery, make research points like a currency you can use to buy tech 2 bpos/items from the special agents. So if I realy do not like the idea of paying this money, i can train my skills, start few research projects and buy tech 2 version of items I want for more reasonable prices from NPCs.
And another way: make some NPC corporations have 999.999 of them in stock at 3-4 mil each. it still leaves enough room for player competition to make good money but sets the top price of the item.

lol, i hear you :) Whole tech 2 market is insane. I doubt CCP will ever do anything about it though. They have no reason to. More expencive item is, more money you will loose when you loose ship, which in turn equals to money sink which is great for them. I think this reason alone will keep things the way they are.

actualy, you right, its not a money sink. but person who lost ship will have to spend much more money to replace it which translates to additional game play time. All in all, they do not care of couple people get rich while sucking money of everyone else. Rich now have drive to come and play more because they making a killing and feel good about themselves, and the rest just has to come and play so they can afford to buy their next tech 2 module at insane price.
