There is alot of T2 Blueprints for sale on sale forum at the moment.
Is there some kind of rumor that CCP will "nerf" them or what is the deal with this ?

The lottery u refer to happened years ago and yes some of those corps are still around . **** happens whats done is done

Another reason to have T2 BPOs. So you can panic sell them at a loss when you really need to.

CCP can't possibly nerfed it pass the invent bar. Owner can still make HUGE profits with T2 BPO giving that invention fixes most of the prices anyway.

Maybe you are right, but the situation described (lot of T2 BPO are being sold) isn't related to your thesis.

This is the worst post

Time of the year i think , see this happen every now and then.

Manufacturing profits are always under attack. It's the nature of the beast that when you find a profitable market segment, you either keep quiet or everyone else will swarm to it and drive the margin downward. At which point, you do a bit of research and find a different item to make which makes more ISK/week/slot.

(The only real nerf that CCP could do would be to streamline Invention's UI, or maybe let the T1 BPC ME/PE level influence the T2 BPC level during the invention step, without needing a decryptor. Or by increasing the drop rate on decryptors so that they are less expensive and more likely to be used.)

But material prices are up. Datacore prices are generally up. POS fuel costs were up. Demand for T2 items was probably down a bit due to the holidays. Which means lower margins until units made with cheaper materials get sopped up by market demand.

Last I checked, the role of LP stores was to sell implants and selected faction modules and ships. Even the few BPCs they sell are for modules and ships also sold in the LP store. Any sort of BPO doesn't fit the scheme, especially T2 BPOs. And as I see it, if they're selling T2 BPCs, they should be selling the T2 goods themselves. But how's that going to be priced compared to their usual lineup? T2 goods generally sell for a lot less than LP store gear does.

Now, I could see the point of selling faction modules that are improvements of T2 gear instead of t1 gear. Turn in boatload of LP, isk, and a zealot and get a shiny. That sort of thing is feasible, but it wouldn't do what you apparently want, to undermine the current T2 system of manufacture, which I might add, already works just fine.

They also have the "lazy" value. Because you can just queue up 7 or 30 days worth of manufacturing, then walk away for 7 or 30 days. Which beats the current click-fest that is T2 invention.

(If the various dialogs in the Sci & Ind window would remember things like "range", "last used meta item", "last used decryptor", "last used output division" - it wouldn't be so bad. It would only take 7 clicks to start additional invention jobs of the same item instead of 13-17.)

I remember when I was ripping copies of my Null L BPO and producing them in parallel. Oh man, NOW I'm upset.

NOW more than ever AM I UPSET. (PS: Still have a few copies left over, trying to decide whether to run them or just sell em and keep single run producing ;_;)
