I've done 325+ missions for Rnmeksuvsur Lanikur, L3, Vakir and never received a BP mission. This is almost certainly a true program bug which needs to be brought to the Devs attention. We know it is not mere "bad luck" because: 1) There is no gradual trailing off of mission counts for successful players. No one has gotten a single BP after 350+ missions. Some folks have done 500+ missions trying to prove the "bad luck" explanation, but still not a single BP. The way it is working is this: either you get the BP before 350, or you don't get a BP at all. 2) If you read the mission forums you will see that more and more folks (15-20 players have already reported this) are in the failure camp. These folks need to be compensated for a failure in the code. Please submit this petition to a Dev for resolution.
Ive Completed over 450 misssions for the same agent and ive recieved no referral or BP.

Hi. As the agent missions are bit random, you can expect to have to do a few more missions, if the agent won't give you a BP before you've done 400 missions, please let us know. Best regards, GM Aeryn
.
So they consider yours a problem if you get to 400 missions but not mine at 450. To quote from the latest reply ive had.
"Thank you for the additional information. But I am afraid there is not much I can add to the previous answer. How and when the agents refer you to another one or how generous they are is completely random and down to your luck with the individual agent. This means that some players, such as yourself, have to do a considerable amount of missions before getting anywhere while others get of easier. This is not considered a bug in any way. I sympathize with your frustration but we can only advice patience and going on doing missions."

I would gladly do 75 more missions (about 25 hours work), if I was assured of getting a BP somewhere along the line. However, I already know of other people who have done 400+ missions for this same agent with no BP. I can't see doing this much more work for something that is probably broken anyway. Can I get an assurance that a GM will give me a BP if my agent fails to provide the BP mission by 400?
See above the only completly random distribution in the world that isnt.
OK my latest reply
Im sorry as i previously stated (and i can/will do the maths if required) the giving of these missions if far from completely random. There is NOT ONE reported incidence of an agent giving a BP mission after mission 325. Also if it was completely random there would be incidences of receiving the BP mission prior to mission 250 this is also not the case. All the people getting the BP mission get it between mission 250 and 325 mostly around mission 280. If you are aware of one person getting the BP mission outside these parameters please let me know otherwise your completely random statement is at best a guess or more likely what should be happening but ISNT.

DED agents are concord faction im afraid which means all they do is increase your standing with all the factions. No Concord faction agents give any other reward.

To quote from my petition (i shouldnt need to do the maths is obvious)

The reply (feels like banging head against a brick wall)
"I have talked to the devs about this issue and they have confirmed what the GMs have replied to you before on this issue. The frequency of these missions that give BPs is random to some point and no guarantees given.Furthermore, there is no guarantee either that the agent in question gives missions with BPs in general. No bugs have been discovered in the system at this point, so it's really a matter of being lucky or not."
Which seems to say its random and its not random at the same time.
Apparently its also possible to do 456 missions and not recive a referral and this isnt a bug either.
The most unlucky person in EVE is me.

The Unlucky Team
420 amarr faction agent
340 gallente faction agent
370 caldari faction agent
All after implants patch.
We never receive a BP.
We ask NOW all tech 2 BP only for us.
Have any of you had referals to other agents from the agents in question and what are there ratings ?
