Well isk in the sink is always a good thing, some people just have too much as it is.

It would have made the market irrelevant for these BPO, as it is now, people can still sell their BPO back on the market with minimal loss. At least it wasn't an item with a high purchase price to begin with

I doubt there would have been much of a market anyway. I bought a BPO after RMR before I read the skill requirements and have been building a few tractors, but they don't sell good at all. I never expected a sudden mass demand for the module to appear, and thus the demand for BPOs is almost nil too. And without PC buyers, the NPC price can be as high as you want - you'll never make it.

It should be one of those modules with optional fitting, high, medium, low, whatever you got left on the ship, that'd make it more popular.

The is answer is no im afraid.BPOS are not bought back by npcs.This has all been a cruel joke on the player base and the bpos that have been purchased since this was anounced in patch notes r now basically worthless.
I have about 500 i will sell for 20k each if any one wants them mail me ingame

rofl.
Nice isk sink manouvre CCP, do stuff like that mroe often will you ?
I cant believe people would think that something this obvious and concerning a module that is definately not 'hot' would ever turn them a profit

Hahahaha, we got owned (myself included). 
But truly bumping it up to 15mil would have been a dumb idea all around, at the very least dont announce it so all us lame ass weasels dont screw up the market for the next 3 years.
What I would really like to see is the following:
-Required skill changed to something else, like engineering 5 maybe (its not even a tech2 module so why the hell should it need a non seeded t2 r&d skill?!?)
-Drop the build requirements of the small beam to be more in line with the bpo, i.e. around 10k each. Also possibly reduce the range to 15km to compensate
-Introduce newer, more expensive medium and large tractor beams with, say, 30km and 40km range and take 120 and 900 grid, respectively

Just petition.
The patch notes are not a place for the devs and GMs to screw around with the players with a big HA HA. It is intended to be a source of concrete information about changes.
If prices are going to change on items they should be reflected in the patch notes, however, and not just for those few who play more on SiSi than Tranquility.

so does that mean that the patch notes can no longer be relied upon as a true source of information - that indeed is very worrying... 
and why was this reversal decision not made with the POS towers when the same thing happened on RMR release - not another case of the big-boys being allowed to generate unlimited isk but the noobs being shat up on from a great height
the simple fact is that at 81k or 15mil these bpos were going to be essentially worthless so the decision is a very bad one - will any noob who just (daftly) invested half his isk in these due to reading stuff on the forum last night still be in the game after the patch is running properly?
or is it just a new way of fixing the lag by getting noobs to drop out...

cruel joke? I beg to differ - it's one of the best jokes I've heard in a while.
You just got scammed by NPCs. I mean, scamming players, exploiting the market in this manner, that's one thing. But to get scammed by an NPC... that's a rare treat.

just something else that occurred to me - will the RAM BPOs be nerfed as well if the 'wrong people' get hold of them?
the precedent has been set - lets see how far things go...

I think you are wrong m8.
patch notes are 100% correct when the patch is applied.. not earlier.

Hi, it says that patch notes are subject of change as patch content is subject to change on untill the last minute before downtime deployment.
If you can read possibilities to grab easy cash (or what you think are such possibilities at least ), you can read the whole blog too.
Ignorance is not a protection. That goes for those you wanted to profit off that were unknowing of the fact prices would change, and that goes to yourself for not realising that overt capitalisation on the cahnge could well make the devs change their mind.
Changing the price is now useless, there are more bpo's ingame then player corporations atm, why the hell would CCP up the price now ?
I just love the darwinism in this hole sideshow tbh

Incorrect.
I have about 30 mins during my work prep time to log in, check skills, and do other character maintainance before heading out.
So they play this neat little joke on people who cannot be around 0.5 seconds before the patch is set in concrete to say 'doh, they got me'? I'm not out as much as some others out there, not by far, but I am backstabbed anyway... and not by players, which I expect at every turn, but by the Devs themselves, which seriously harms any faith or trust I have in them. And to be a paying customer they damned well need my trust.
For me, I will petition their lame little joke.
