It is true that I do not like all these new direction either. The practicable long term projects swiftly become fewer and fewer. And the player who just wants to hop into the game to have some cheap pvp fun (i call it griefing because you cannot get revenge) for 1-2 hours/week become more and more. This is not good.
For the T2 situation now. The T2 bpo holders will always have the big advantage of zero invention costs. Usually you have invention costs for each item of at least 2 million isk. So the t2 bpo holders can still earn good money, just not as much as before!
With invention running there are new chokepoints, for example all the advanced building materials which are necessary for the t2 building. You need to do moon mining and then run simple/complex reactions. This can become your new long term investments.

T2 bpo's are still good investments. Actually they are excellent investments. And with the current invention there is no way that a bpo hold will suffer real losses, that is that he has to sell stuff below production costs. The only dangerous thing for a t2 bpo holder is another t2 bpo of the same item competing with him.
T2 went from luxury good to a semi-mass product. The now lowered profit margain (maybe 400% instead of 2000%) is compensated with the higher turnover, thus resulting in an even total profit.
There is still good profit in the T2 market, especially in the supply chain stuff!

 Originally by: c0rn1
Example Cap recharger II again:
Daily Production (BPO owner): 30 per day
Inventioneers: Unlimited (they can create an unlimited number of BPC basically by repeating the invention process over and over).
Can you please tell me how to make an unlimited number of copies? Do you have even the SLIGHTEST clue about invention? It appears to me that you don't know a single bit about invention.
You can produce the cap recharger for 250k if you buy the stuff from the market. The inventor has to build the cap recharger also, but since the has always negative ME he must pay a bit more, maybe he has building costs of 300k then.
However YOU have the BPO for free. It costs you nothing to do some runs. The inventor has to pay for EACH SINGLE run. And it is a lot he has to pay. It is 1 mil at least.
So YOU have total costs of 250k. The inventor has total costs (building costs + invention costs) of 1300k. He has more than FIVE TIMES HIGHER COSTS!
And you still complain about your ruined profits?
If your profits are so bad, I am open to take all those crappy blueprints from you.
I hope you get hit hard from the changed t2 situation because exactly those profiteers like you were the ruin to the open market.
