Lysithea	Posted - 2003.07.24 22:31:00 - [1] Edited by: Lysithea on 24/07/2003 22:31:27 Why pick on Heff and Playboy? Everyone is selling BP copies. If they stopped, others would start. This isnÆt a behavioral issue, itÆs mechanical. If it wasnÆt meant to happen, it would have been fixed inside the game mechanics. CCP specifically addressed this issue in a GM chat many weeks or months ago. They donÆt see it as a problem because they know it will resolve itself when research is implemented. Right now, there is just a glut of tech level 1 items. As soon as we have product differentiation, most of this goes away. Regardless, Neptunus, flaming someone else because of your short-sightedness is immature and totally uncalled for. Anyone with your lack of professionalism and market saavy should not be in a corp-minded game.

This is from the attached link: http://www.evegate.net/exclusives/dev016.php <Wolfgang> Viking I have some questions regarding blueprints and manufacturing. Is there a limit on the number of copies you can make on a blueprint? If so, what plans are in place to take care of the rampant over copying that is occurring? Second question. Has manufacturing been changed? I notice today when trying to build, that the mineral needs have gone up, or at least that the rounding has gone away. <Hellmar> there was a bug in manufacturing, the bonus was 0 based were as it should have been 1 based. This lead to the leak in the economy were players were manufacturing items with less than their recycle value, which is not good in a closed system and exploitable. Those that had improved their blueprints/skills will still be better but they can't go under the recycle value, just match it. There will be no limit to copying; as copies can't be researched they can't compete with a well-researched blueprint. So they quickly loose value as soon as the novelty of the item wears off and you are competing with researched blueprints. We might also tune the time it takes to copy. Read it for yourself. If you have a problem, go file a petition or quit the game. God I hate crybabies.

By resarch, he means tech level research you fool. If they would ever get around to implementing it, and we begin to see product differentiation between products, this wouldn't be an issue. Nice hiding behind your alt in your default starter corp Neptunus. Anyyone drawing that much idiotic attention to their corp would likely be kicked out of it. Until then, cheers to Playboy, cheers to Heff, and tough luck for those of you who did not capitalize on the idea. Heff is a ruler and he treats people right. Much more than can be said of you.
