1. What is your personal experience with invention ?
1a)
1b) lost ISK and quit inventing
1c)
1d)

2. What is (in your opinion) better to invent for profit - an item with a T2 BPO or an item without T2 BPO ?
2a)
2b)
2c)
2d) Invention is a market controlled by the older players and those with substantial corp backing

3. What would (in your opinion) be the consequence of removing all T2 BPOs from the game for T2 item prices ?
3a)
3b) T2 items would become more expensive if T2 BPOs would be removed
3c)
3d)

4. What would (in your opinion) be the consequence of removing all T2 BPOs from the game for inventor numbers ?
4a)
4b)
4c)
4d)the number of people using Invention would increase significantly, but it wouldn't outpace the original market

5. What would (in your opinion) be the consequence of removing all T2 BPOs from the game for long term inventor profits ?
5a)
5b)
5c)
5d) Inventors who once relied on T2 BPOs would lose profits as they moved to Invention; those who relied on invention would see a slight increase in profits

6. What is your opinion about current T2 BPO market prices ?
6a)
6b)
6c)
6d) None of the above

7. What is your opinion about efforts made by current T2 BPO owners to own a VALUABLE T2 BPO ?
7a)
7b)
7c)
7d) It depends on whether they bought it or got it from NPC lottery. Former is as earning is; the latter is/was free

8. What is your opinion about efforts made by current T2 BPO owners to own a random one, on average ?
8a)
8b)
8c)
8d) I don't think collection of relatively unmarketable BPOs has any marked effect on anything; they are primarily collectable, and have no real value. Some Invention is without need of T2 BPOs to make it reasonable and semi-profitable, (i.e: Tech 2 Small Shield Extender), The cost is negligible and the value limited.

9. Do you support removing T2 BPOs from the game ?
9a)
9b)
9c)
9d) I do not believe they should be removed, but neither do I believe they should be the solely accessible to rich, older players.

10. How would the removal or continued existence of T2 BPOs affect your subscription ?
10a)
10b)
10c)
10d) It does not effect me, except in passing. Only so much as it impacts pricing, or as a might have been once, if I'd started the game sooner. No longer a concern.

11. How should T2 BPO owners be compensated for the removal of T2 BPOs, if they were removed ?
11a)
11b)
11c)
11d) Limited Compensation. Petition for reimbursement if purchased, with time since purchase applied as a penalty to that reimbursement. A 100 run T2 BPC with 0% waste and minimum Production time if they won it.

12. What would be the consequence to the EVE economy for granting that compensation ?
This question should be answered in your own words.

Limited to none. Angry people maybe, and angry people can cause problems, but actual market impact aside from their actions would be limited once the initial impact of the loss of T2 BPOs hit the market. That would have the greatest effect I think.

1. What is your personal experience with invention ?
1c) made ISK and quit inventing (annoying as **** process)

2. What is (in your opinion) better to invent for profit - an item with a T2 BPO or an item without T2 BPO ?
2c) what is better to invent for profit depends on item, regardless of T2 BPO existence


3. What would (in your opinion) be the consequence of removing all T2 BPOs from the game for T2 item prices ?
3c) nothing would change significantly

4. What would (in your opinion) be the consequence of removing all T2 BPOs from the game for inventor numbers ?
4c) nothing would change significantly

5. What would (in your opinion) be the consequence of removing all T2 BPOs from the game for long term inventor profits ?
5c) nothing would change significantly

6. What is your opinion about current T2 BPO market prices ?
6a) T2 BPOs are too expensive

7. What is your opinion about efforts made by current T2 BPO owners to own a VALUABLE T2 BPO ?
7b) it was too hard for them to get it


8. What is your opinion about efforts made by current T2 BPO owners to own a random one, on average ?
8b) it was too hard for them to get it

9. Do you support removing T2 BPOs from the game ?
9d) other - T2 BPOs have very little effect, so much stuff is invented day to day that the T2 BPOs make up a very small portion of total production

10. How would the removal or continued existence of T2 BPOs affect your subscription ?
10d) do not care / other - please specify

11. How should T2 BPO owners be compensated for the removal of T2 BPOs, if they were removed ?
11d) other - Leave them alone

12. What would be the consequence to the EVE economy for granting that compensation ?
Very little effect

Final note: nothing is wrong with T2 BPOs, they are a very rare, very expensive way to shortcut a very annoying, and yet ultimately not terribly difficult process. I actually think that very very rarely, T2 BPOs should be found in exploration sites. This shouldn't harm the game significantly.
