Aurum is just another way to play with regular modules/ suits.
Officer weapons will still be worth massive amounts in trade.
If it isnt officer, leave it in your corp hanger or sell it - once we have the option.

Officer weapons will be worth trading but selling event rewards for aurum sets a bad precedent not only does it devalue the rewards, but if it sells well CCP may well think "Well the only way to get this item was to do X challenge/event but its selling well for AURUM." which could lead to "Well the only way to get this item is to find it randomly as salvage, I wonder if it will sell well for AURUM."

That is my fear devaluing rewards could potentially lead to the sale of officer weapons and then when we do get a player market the people who have stockpiled certain items could discover that they aren't worth as much as they thought because people have bought AUR ones instead.

The only way I see the economy being borked, is from the various corporations who having already earned 150 billion + (through exploiting the unbalanced Planetary Conquest system). When the player economy is released those corps with that kind of ISK, could really mess with the market; let alone the AURUM market!

CCp never said the Black Eagle suit was rare. In fact they said it would be available in future events.

Thats sounds like the 2 guys who bought practically the entire grain market a few years back, they bought so much grain, th at they litterally couldn't sell it, they owned such a large stake, that if the sold any, it instantly lost value and they could only sell it a 2p a kg, even when the current price on the market was -ú2 a kg, they had to wait for the market to expand around them, and they lost tonnes of money in the end!!

You probs dont know what real "rare" is do you? Example:
"balacs modified Ck.0 dropsuit"
What makes it so worthfull? Well first off it has 4 high and 4 low slots which is unique in the assault category but to make it even more interesting is the fact that you have aswell 2 equipment slots avaible. Which turns it into probably the best suit in the whole game. And the only people who got a set off 25 suits where the 2 corperations which where in the final from the closed beta tourny.

Economic warfare is a huge part of PVP in EVE, or at least it can be.

Dust is a skeleton right now, CCP is still fleshing this stuff out. e.g. they just got hit detection in a good spot

Wow. Lots of posters here are missing the point.
Let's ignore that CCP is quite capable of building a robust economy and focus on the fact they are eroding the value of limited run event items by offering them up for purchase.

NOOOO that's my favorite scout suit!

NOBODY BUY THIS PACK!

...I'm totally gonna buy it...no self control...

What if I bought some and charged you 3mil isk a suit?

DEAL!

*transfers isk*

Players will determine their own economy.

If there is one thing CCP can do, it is build an economy.

Thats it? Oh, well that was worth the wait!!
Why? How do you think it will happen, what will drive the costs, if T3 weapon customization happens will players sell, prefabs, construcor kits, that kind of thing, will we be able to sell multiple items as a bundle or kit, or something, what do you think?

Players have always managed to figure out their own prices, they're pretty smart marketeers and tycoons involved in either game so the economy will balance itself out. Demand and Supply will be player wrought and wrung.
