Market Discussions

AT ships would be plenty useful. But the people who win them typically don't engage in the small gang warfare where they would shine. Also I don't know of anybody who would use the damn things in normal combat.

**** if I had one I'd ride it into to battle till 50 bil blew up and left my pod in it's place.

Would've expected more out of it then being killed by a Dramiel I guess. Also would've figure autos with barrage on the moracha, but hey, what do I know.

T2 BPOs will never be re-issued, despite CCP being what they are. At the same time they are extremely unlikely to be nerfed.

One of the great things about Eve is that a new player can compete in most things with older players reasonably well. Except where it comes to buying T2 BPOs!

For this reason alone, I'm against T2 BPOs, though I love them as well for some strange reason.

Copying the BPO is less efficient than producing from the BPO. In other words, it takes longer to make a run of copy than it does to simply produce from the BPO itself.

Well, you can only make one 100-run BPC off that BPO every 24 days, not 50 300-run BPCs every two weeks. Not sure where you got your numbers.

You're bad at economic thinking and should look up opportunity cost. Not all profit is profit.

It can be dangerous to just assume that some class of assets will never go down in price, which is what you're doing here. Get enough people thinking like that and it's basically how you make an economic bubble. Housing is a good example. Most of the time it works as you say, but if you buy at the wrong time you can take a huge loss in principal.

There's nothing wrong with taking the risks of course if you know about them! You really need to at least consider that the BP may not necessarily be worth the same or more than you bought it for. Maybe you'll still estimate it's a good deal and worth the risk, but don't just assume that the risk isn't there.

The 6 hours per copy means you can make a 1-run BPC every ~6 hours, or 100 runs in 24 days (the max runs on a BPC for this BPO is 100)

The answer can probably be found by looking at what the price of that print was a year ago, two years ago, three years ago, etc. Back in 2010 people were goggling at the fact that there were buyers for T2 BPOs when it took three years to make a 100% profit. Since then the prices have gone up a huge amount. With the print you identify, let's say it takes 7 years to make a 100% profit, or 14% profit a year. That's a little over 1% a month, which may seem terrible to most people but which is only a little under the baseline amount that isk can be lent out at to the most trusted figures. Eve has an aging player-base with increasingly large numbers of rich vets who want to put their isk somewhere and earn something. With a T2 BPO not only do you get a very low effort safe return (safer than lending the money out!) but you also get the chance that the price of the print itself will rise further as the trend of greater numbers of aging rich vets who want a safe harbour for their isk continues.

So bonds are actualy better investments than T2 b'po's > loooool


Everyone has a chance to own a T2 bpo, even the jelous people. You can easly buy them of ingame contracts. Most T2 bpo's have been sold since the introduction. I doubt the percentage of original owners is above 30%. They were cheaper years ago, but see it as a loyalty program for older players... they have payed years more for alooot lesss game..... (less free patches)


Please stop posting about stuff that you dont know anything about. There have been a few developments that caused that price spike and the current fuss about the amount (2 collections) that are getting (re)sold. I have all the answeres but unfortualy (and cause you trolled me a few years ago) there is no such thing as free information.
