It was no scam. It was a single run BPC at a single-run BPC price. Obviously I clicked on the "wrong" click linking to what a bloody BPO can achieve - why the bloody hell do I wanna know what the original BPO (which is not being sold in this contract) can achieve??

I don't bloody care what the freakin' BPO can achieve!! All I wanna know is how many runs this BPC can run and YES, I made a tiny mistake in using the Show Info as a guide to this partiicular BPC, which as you said, it was not.

So again, why do CCP think this is a good system to leave like that? I believe it is unnecessary and adds a complication that many will not get fooled by, but some people will.

Make a patch that when you use the Show Info on a BPC it actually shows the bloody info on THAT BPC and not the BPO it came from.

With all the patches and fantastical plans for expansions and mega-changes Eve has one of the dumbest things still operating to make a capsuleer's life a confusing misery.

Take a look at this Blueprint Copy https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97960240/ExeFile%202014-05-20%2015-17-20-95.jpg

You can cleary read "Max Runs Per Blueprint Copy 15.

NOPE!

When I tried to make 2 runs the lab refused saying, "You can only make 1 run per copy".

So have I paid over-the-odds for a single run BPC masquerading as a 15 run BPC because CCP haven't bothered to change the meaningful info in the description of certain items???

I don't think there is anything more stupid in this nice game of Eve and CCP really should add a patch NOW to tell people the useful info not bloody useless info about the max runs which it COULD achieve but HASN'T!

What a crock!

Wrong! Here is the unimportant information it shows when you mouse over

Here is the (tiny) error I made looking at the contract

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/97960240/Show%20Info.jpg

I used Show Info and saw the Max Runs at 15 which was irrelevant useless information for that contract and was linked to the original BPO (which was NOT for sale).

What a dopey system!

[Do I think it's important that they leave in the ability to look at the raw blueprint information as well as the specific BPC information from a contract? Yes I most certainly do. If they didn;t, rather than just being able to grab both sets of information with 2 different methods. If they made it so we can only get the BPC info, we'd have to go elsewhere to get the BPO info.

Or your parents could make a patch where they add a few extra IQ points to your genepool. That way, when you are in a position to lose a meaningful amount of isk, you can avoid the dumb mistake and we can be spared yet another rage filled thread where it's all CCPs fault for not catering to your exact specific needs.

Here

When you click info, it show you the basic blueprint. This is so people can see the base amount of minerals on it, base production time etc etc etc.

Edit: Pro MS Paint skills right there!

Make a patch to write in the description (refers to Blueprint Original) or words to that effect, so that geeks like you can find out how many copies of a Blueprint you can make from an original, NOT the relevant info the purchaser of this contract wanted when they quickly used the Show Info button rather than clicking through the contract and then checking the details of said contract.

I said I made a tiny (yes tiny) mistake, due to the fact I was playing on and off and used a shortcut.

All I'm saying is CCP can make the game clearer without upsetting the geeks who wanna know all the bloody info of a BPO, while the people who wanna just get up to speed quickly get the actual relevant info as quickly as possible.

Fair enough!?!?

Look how tiny that IMPORTANT information is. And as I said I used the Show Info button which gave me misleading stats.

Surely this can be improved??

geeks like you

Clicking the show info doesn't show a Blueprint Original. BPO's show on it "Blueprint Original". What you have got is the Hardcopy base rate BPC (Blueprint copy) as I have stated to you (and others too) many times during this thread.

To be fair to the OP, there really is no reason for the "Max Run" portion to even be on copies, since it is for all intensive purposes meaningless and just leads to confusion.

intensive purposes

BPO, BPC Hardcopy, whatever, same difference. I see it's saying the BPC can be copied 15 times which maybe is needed, but the nuts & bolts is how many runs of making an Oracle which is misleading, at least in my opinion it should be made clearer.

....because you are foolish?

Yes.

Personal insults are against the EULA. I have petitioned you for your infraction.

I was in a hurry, just bought a BPC, to make a Battlecruiser. Haven't really gone into the details of how the super-duper,100% efficient, zero-waste method of using these bloody BPCs is supposed to be. How reckless of me!

No harm done, just saying....

It really isn''t. It says how many you can make right in the contract, and it says so again right on the first page of the info sheet.

So it's NOT saying I can make 15 BPCs from this particular BPC, which came from a BPC Hardcopy, which came from a BPO, which came from a freakin' lab, ad nauseum.

Yeesh! See what I mean about CCP making the game complicated??!!

So the message is;

"Do things the right way and there will be no problems. Do things not exactly the right way and you will receive mis-information freely from CCP Enterprises Incorporated"

If they have an elevator and everyone stands in the centre you can never get your clothes caught, but if you have the wrong standing position or wearing a long dress, you could get your clothes caught and DIE, because CCP designed this elevator and have made no contingencies for anyone not using the apparatus perfectly.

'Nuff said!

Why is it that every time a forum post contains CAPS, sensationalist titles, must reads, and exclamation points, within the first handful of posts after the rage it is revealed that the OP is in fact wrong, at fault and is either unobservant and ignorant or rather perceptive and is simply trolling?
