Whatever "merchant" types seek to control the market will have a massive influence on the pricing of officer weapons. There are some players/corps out there with A LOT of ISK in their pockets. These players will be capable of purchasing every officer weapon available and inflating the price for resale, and that's what they're going to do. These items seem to be quite rare, so there's going to be a minimum that people think they're worth, and a maximum people with TONS of ISK are willing to pay.
You aren't going to be buying these if you aren't loaded.
Assuming we will be capable of selling AUR gear on the market, this will create a standard AUR to ISK conversion ratio for Dust (in other words a $ to ISK ratio). As evidenced by EVE and various other games, players will jump at the chance to essentially purchase ISK using cash in order to stock up on expensive officer weapons. These guys will have all the officer weapons, they will also ultimately determine how much $ or ISK an officer weapon is likely to cost.
Commence to QQ when Dust truly becomes pay-to-win. |

Assuming that AUR gear is allowed on an open market, the real question is this - how much ISK are you willing to spend on a Militia BPO? They're certainly valuable, and they're likely to dominate the market alongside AUR proto gear. |

They're certainly valuable, and they're likely to dominate the market alongside AUR proto gear. MLT BPO? Nah. They're cheap enough (ISK Wise), dont see a need for them. I'd only buy Standard BPOs.
Where might I purchase these Standard BPOs you speak of?
You may consider them to be worthless, but if someone is running around in MLT gear, they're likely doing it to save ISK. If that MLT fitting costs them 0 ISK no matter how many they use, some people see value in that. You don't, and that's fine, but people will buy them. |
