| From EVE Tribune.... Quote:
Now onto something with consequences for everyone. The Tech2 BPO lottery is being changed. For one, it’s going to be killed. No more. None. In the next six months, every last remaining BPO will be given to players, and the lottery closed down.
CCP seems to want all new T2 production to come from invention that’s available to all. Interfaces will be tweaked again for a suitable drop rate, and some types of new gear will be inventible. All of the existing BPOs will remain so for some time, until after a few months when Invention stabilizes, they’ll be converted into long-run BPCs instead.
Perhaps this’ll finally break the price cartels controlling many crucial tech 2 items, such as the Covert Ops II Cloaking Device or Invulnerability Field II. I say it’s about damn time I don’t have to pay 250 million ISK for a HAC that costs barely 20 mil to make.
