Ok so CCP decides to change the game no problem.
They add citadels, engineering complexes, and now refineries. Again No problem.
The problem that CCP seems to be overlooking is that they are basically making the POS exactly that a Piece of crap that has no real use. Those who invested in POS modules or forbid POS BPO’s who could make a small amount of isk off their time they invested into researching a Blue Print and building them for a cheaper cost then selling them for. Now we are replacing it with other things soon all the roles of the POS will be performed by other structures that are in some cases harder to protect then the current system. While I have no problem with making things easier to kill I do have a problem with the loss of an investment one of my toons made a long time ago and the market share he stands to lose due to the needless greed of CCP to replace a system in the game with no compensation for the pilots who already had a system in place. Every POS that is set up with a moon mining array should become by default an already fit refinery. Moon distribution changing has done more for causing problems in politics for the game then I have ever seen before with many people getting very upset over some claiming rights to move in and take the moons they want when the expansion hits. Bottom line here is that CCP is screwing over the long time player in favor of short term profits for itself. While the expansion and the structures are a good idea CCP has once again proven that good ideas can be very poorly executed.
