its a problem for brewie´s argument, that the removal of the BPO`s would cause more subscriptions

I'm new to this debate so forgive me if this idea has already been suggested. I don't own any T2 BPOs, but there might be a way to compromise, rather than just removing them altogether.

What if these T2BPOs were given some sort of regenerating number of runs? By that I mean, perhaps a certain one would have 50 runs available every week, and another only 10 runs per week. The available runs would regenerate every Tuesday or something like that.

Those are just random numbers I threw in there, but ideally the number of runs would be based on what is an attainable number of runs from invention, obviously dependent on the item type. Also the time frame for regeneration could be something else, I just picked weekly.

I think this could help reduce the power of the T2 BPOs by limiting the amount of items they could produce, yet still allow the owners to bypass the god awful invention process and thus still be worth something.

Any thoughts?

I probably should have rephrased that part, but I was imagining the number of runs being based on some percent of what's attainable via invention. EDIT: With the exact percent being determined by people who have a better understanding of how this works than me.

That may still end up doing what you said, though. I'm not really familiar with the scope of the problem nor the breakdown of production from invention versus that of BPOs, just thought I'd chime in.

For now, disregarding the specifics I mentioned, do you think the idea could ever be used to achieve a compromise? Do you think limiting the production capabilities of the t2 BPOs is even worth considering?

thats how it is right now, dude...with just ONE invention char you can out-perform any T2 BPO by the pure number that you can build. If you want to read up, Akita actually didput a lot of effort into sheets and did the numbers very carefull with the result that T2 BPO`s are no Problem for Inventions

tbh. at the moment its just about beeing bu**hurt and 1-2 desperate haters that simply ignore all facts and numbers and just want them removed JUST to win this argument, justified or not.

the other thing is that brewlar keeps saying that most or many BPO`s were gifted to certain players wich would really just be bull** and I think nobody would argue that these players along with their donators should be fined/banned. Allthough, so far we havent seen any proof of that, yet.

You cant,
Thank you.

so cool, lol

Nobody subscribes to do T2 manufacture. Nobody leaves because of BPOs (if they did, we'd be rid of Brewlar's plague).

Best way to nerf T2BPOs: Fix the invention click-fest interface. That would kill a whole lot of the convenience that is BPOs biggest selling point.

(And it wouldn't invite CCP to massively fuck the system up like they have every time they've touched anything related to T2 manufacture *cough*Tech*cough*PI Release*cough*POSes*cough*)

He has a pathological hatred for pie. He can't even help it. It's a sickness. He needs massive therapy. Probably electro-shock.

I think Kara's decided that she also really hates Pie.

After reading this...I must go buy a T2BPO and start building off it. Don't know if you've heard, apparently they break the game.
