I was pondering today, how exactly would this work.
If the market is controlled only by players, where would players acquire the Items to be sold in the Market?
In order to have a sustainable economy in DUST, players would need a method harvesting resources, researching technology, and producing the infantry gear and vehicles we would expect to see in the market.
Is the goal to only have EVE players manufacture DUST infantry Vehicles and Gear? What happens when EVE players decide to arbitrarily drive up the cost of Infantry Items to the Point of DUST players not being able to afford them? Would everyone without EVE contacts or Corp Members, or a PC ISK farm be forced to use only Starter fits? This would elevate the current Epidemic of Protostomping into Pandemic status.
What are some of your thoughts on this, CCP? What direction are you taking when the implementation of a Player market becomes a reality?

Unless the salvage tables are set to 100% of items lost in a match, this would not be sustainable. Even then, there are still problems with this.
There would really be no way to distribute the salvage evenly between all players.
Players who got the most or best salvage, would be able to corner the market easily.
What would determine how much or what salvage you recieved? Would it be Performance? If it was based off of Performance, then the Protostomp teams would have yet another ISK farm because they would not only have ISK from PC, but also have nearly complete control of the Market. This would end up causing the same problems detailed above where PC Corps who Protostomp using PC ISK would be able to drive the prices of the better gear up to the point that they are the only ones who could afford to buy it.

Buy won't be that active until we get Indy. Without industry you'd just see the ISK farming corps buy up EVERYTHING, and then refuse to sell it, effectively choking out the majority of the "competition" before it even got up and running.
This is exactly what worries me.
