Maybe it's time that Dust has things EVE does not, considering you don't have one of your ships die every 1-5 minutes you can often times keep a ship alive for weeks if not months or more. Try keeping alive and actively playing for 2 weeks in Dust without dying more then 5 times. In short Dust begs to have a bulk sale market, where as Eve really doesn't, when based solely on how many ships will die compared to clones (not factoring everything that Eve has to offer....just to much to mention)
No. This is a New Eden economy we are talking about here. Once Dust fully integrates with Eve Online's economy, almost everything in the market will have its price dictated by the players only. If I don't want to give you a discount for my 30+ Gastun Forge Guns because I don't like you, then too bad. Deal with it. The only way you will get any discounts in the New Eden economy is when you personally know a friend who directly sells what you need. If not, you can try a different tactic... negotiate. If you can't negotiate, too bad. Deal with it.
That's a fact of life in New Eden... which you just stepped into. Just because you want a discount it doesn't mean everyone here has to give you one. Players in Eve Online have full reign on the prices and so shall we as Dust players. By the way, we'll have PvE content eventually as well. Those missions will likely involve fighting endless hordes of Rogue Drones that are the size of an HAV.
Welcome to New Eden. The harshest universe the MMO industry has ever seen. |

If you disagree with the bulk discount, that's fine, but there are 8 other ideas up there, and all I see you doing is back seat driving and saying what can't be done and what will come out "soon", choose one to comment on and expand upon it or make up your own idea, and I understand that "eventually" this will integrate with Eve, but for now Eve and Dust are two exclusive games and will continue to be so for probably another year at least. The faction war changes might help, but till they basically add another half or 2/3 of the game the day that Eve and Dust have anything really in common are very far apart. If you completely disagree and can find no common ground with me on any topic or make a suggestion of your own, please go comment else where.
Fine. But just so you know, if Dust gets bulk discounts, then the Eve Online players will get affected as well since they will be the ones likely to handle the production of our gear in the future once the two economies merge. They have the tools already in place. Also, not all players like to give discounts for bulk purchases as I made it clear to you. I don't want to be forced into giving discounts by CCP. Only the laws of supply and demand have the privilege of making me change my prices.
