Not everything is New Eden revolves around spaceships and soldiers. There are normal people too who make normal wages. A few ISK is enough to feed a planetside family for months. I personally wouldn't spend an isklet on a stick of gum. But I've seen a few gallons of water in EVE. They cost more than a few ISK. I think an ISK is worth approx. 0.5 USD. That would put a cheap scrambler pistol at about $750 USD, which is quite reasonable.
A lot of the trade goods pricing in EVE is totally irrational. As is the back story in EVE that the capsuleer economy is starting to supersede the economies of the empires.
It's completely nonsensical on multiple levels, enough so that it drops me right out of the immersion. |

If a single cubic meter of bottled water costs as much as you say it does, how does anyone survive planetside. I have a hard time believing such a small amount of water costs somebody a couple months of income. That doesn't make any sense at all.
I'm pretty sure they don't sell water in singular cubic meters. Perhaps amongst Immortals water is vastly more important consumable, or perhaps like in reality people pay their taxes and bills and water is essentially accessible by them at any time.
Or perhaps in a world where corporations have gone amok drinkable water really is a very rare commodity. |

Actually, someone said in EVE lore a family could feed themselves for a month on a few isk.
Edit: And someone already stated that. Guess I should read the entire thread before posting.  |

In real life ISK is the Icelandic krona. If we go by that then 0.01 ISK = 1 aur. |
