Is that due to BPO use during PC battles - that never happen?
I would assume that most PC players have BPOs. If they use those BPOs in a few self-attack situations, how greatly does that skew the data?

So BPO users made more ISK than PC abusers....
Yeah, this needs proof before i'll believe that

With no material supply needed to build the item it is just magically produced and is totally free. That is the problem, it is just wished into reality.

Blueprints in EVE are merely that... A set of Instructions for crafting the said item.

I Would LOVE to see a crafting system in DUST that is similar, involving the BPO's and salvage system. So Say I kill a Guy with an Assault Rifle and a Minmatar Suit, I get a piece of the Assault Rifle and Minmatar suit to then combine with other salvage to Craft an Assault Rifle at 0 cost.

Blueprints even in lore where it just spawns another suit with no materials or ISK cost will never make sense no matter how convenient the operation is to my personal ISK making aspirations.

The economy is the creation and destruction of isk. Isk is clearly being created and destroyed, and CCP studies this stuff. Their economist had a presentation at last year's fanfest about the Dust economy. Getting the creation and destruction of isk into balance is the biggest stumbling block to get over before the Dust economy can begin to merge with Eve. If the economy is creating far more isk than it is destroying and players get to start deciding the price of things, prices will skyrocket like we're in Weimar Germany.

It's not that much of a problem. John Demonsbane proposed the most likely solution above: BPO manufacturing will still have a mineral input cost.

Imo the PC income is pretty obviously the biggest driver of ISK inflation in DUST.

Wrt the size of the DUST EVE economies, it's already been shown that DUST's economy is already giving EVE a run for it's money, and that's with our pathetically low player numbers.

Wrt to balancing the economies it will be possible. Prolly the most stable solution would be to balance around extraction of strategic resources common to both economies. There could still be clones, but clone manufacture would go from being magic to being a manufacturuing process that had material inputs. For this we want clones to become a commodity in EVE first, and in DUST as well - right now we're not paying for our clones in DUST pubs or FW - we prolly should be.

We'll have an integrated economy, and for my money before this time next year. But it'll be kind of crippled in terms of gameplay-generation for us in DUST if we don't have a robust contract system.
