Just to reply to the OP, I'd have to say that you're under two mistaken impressions here.
First, that 15 billion for a BPO is something a single individual is offering. While it's not inconceivable, it's most likely someone with an entire corp that's extremely active, backing him up.
Second, your making the flawed assumption that 15 billion isk can be acquired with no effort. I've been playing this game since launch, and have managed to maintain around 100 million isk in my wallet for most of that. I'm pretty sure those with over 10 times that amount have worked harder for their money and spent less than I have. It's not a thing that can be gained by doing nothing, they're out there hunting or mining their nuts off for it.
The fact that the vast majority of EVE does NOT have a billion isk in their wallet tells me the current ISK sinks are working perfectly.

Man Ive never had that much money. IMHO the main problem is the BPOs. People with the tech II BPOs make a fortune (now you know why they call it a lotery). Those without are mere mortals. =)
I think research agents should produce more BPCs and not BPOs. In fact, I dont think BPOs should even exist in the game.
I'm shocked. Beside myself, even. I actually agree with you on this. :) To quote the late, great Darth Vader, "This will be a day long remembered"
As someone who tried out the tech 2 research process and then completely disregarded it as a waste of time (I have an agent out there with thousands of RPs, but never got an offer), it's pretty cheezy when someone can start it tomorrow and get a bpo within a week, putting in zero effort.

Im gonna do it with both of my chars. You cant win the lottery if you dont play it. Until CCP changes it I might as well take my chances as well.
I like the concept. I really do. Adding an element of chance to something like this works well. But cheezes me off is that someone who puts zero EFFORT into boosting their chances has a chance of getting a BPO at all, compared to people who focus their efforts into research and do the research agent missions.
In my opinion, people who just start a research agent and never do anything for them should NEVER get a reward.

apoc +8 pulse+multi+ultimate tank setup = solo most lvl 4's
Yeah, RIGHT NOW. He's talking about post-patch. Though I'm not sure what level 4 mission tweaks they've done to beef up the toughness factor, so you might still be right :)

This thread has how completely devolved into a nothing resembling productive discussion. I believe 7 pages of posts is some kind of record, pat yourselves on the back.

Nah, this is nothing - we're not even half way to a decent arguement yet.
I disagree. (irony alert!)

That was brilliant. Two+ years of EVE Online General Discussion, summarized in a single post. :)

Once again I will point out that this thread is not about how individuals make ISK. It is about are players or groups of players too rich.
This thread has been doing on and on and on, and nobody has yet managed to piece together a convincing argument as to why anyone should care about the "issue" being raised. Wow, someone got successful in EVE. Big deal. My game isn't ruined, is yours?
