This a completely 'theoretical' dicussion on market PvP that New Eden Newberries may be caught off gaurd by in a console FPS. Feel free to share you knowledge or expose the plans of others.  Sure you may be tipping one of your hands, but it is in service of new players and democratizing the craft.
Tip #1. The Three Card Monty
Unlke Eve Online, players are given reign to freely create 3 characters which can be switched about with ease. I like to imagine that this freedom would offer some ability to engage in a modicum price inflation and price fixing of items. However, as safegard, bear in mind that you can check the show info tab of players to see their online ID. So, in order to go beyond this character check, a player must create another PSN ID in which to create another dust account. -á

Tip #2: Getting 'Used'...Books and Academy Supplies
Time: Several Weeks
Difficulty: Silver Tongue
-Use or create a burner alt character in which you transfer 3 million in starter funds.
-Create additional alts as you see fit to place into directorial roles in order to flesh out appearance of corporate hierarchy.
Using unallocated SP, bolster your burner alt's corporation skill to accommodate 50 players. Now entice new players to join your corporation with donations to purchase entry level skill books and mlt and std equipment modules. Follow through on this promise to your initial applicants and continue the process. After you've established a sizable base of newberry corp members bolster them up with talk about planetary conquest and the possibility of securing a place to call their own. Once fervor is established, instill the necessity of a three week tax drive of 20% to pay for a '75 million isk' clone pack (any large number above and beyond the actual price of a clone pack will do). Near the beginning of the second week of the tax drive encourage your corp members that they've nearly reached their goal ahead of schedule. Tell them you're seriously impressed with what they've managed so far, but there's still a bit more to go in order to buy that pack. Illustrate to them and they can secure enough for a weekend PC match if the corp was to raise the tax to 48% (or above after doing some 'meticulous calculations') and play hard for the next 3 to 4 days in order to reach the necessary funds. Bringing in an additional high sp level confidence player who is in on the scam and is versed in the 'knowledge' of PC battles may help to sell new players on the effort they are putting in to play an epic high stakes experience. However, upon downtime of the final day, you transfer out the remaining corp funds to a character of your choosing and leave one final note to your corp. "No book buybacks or refunds at this time. Thank you and have a nice match."

Yep, I'm just a poor ass merc who enjoys a little theory crafting on the side. Use these idea sparks as you see fit for building elaborate trolls or actual scams. |

For the amount your playerbase would be generating that may be the case depending on how big of a stipend you're providing. Nevertheless, using misinformation about clone pack prices may be a thing to watch out for as new players may not see the tools and market options which CEOs are privy to view. |
