Would this be a problem, maybe in the past it would've, but considering that one alliance owns all the wealth (GOD I FEEL LIKE A 99% HIPPY) I don't see it as a problem now. using a third party to transfer eve isk to dust isk is creative and smart, but impractical for trust issues, ratios, etc...

Yes, this is still a problem, I could literally manufacture ISK for myself then, even worse, I could have someone transfer billions to me. If you don't see this as a problem, then wow man, just wow.

His point is understandable..... by exploiting a broken system a certain select groups now do own the majority of wealthy and will never have to worry about ISK again...ever.
Now I cannot complain... I could have bandwagoned....nor am I complaining.....but unfortunately Dusts current flow of ISK forces the poor into direct conflict with the rich....... with no other way of garnering more ISK.

This does need to happen at some point. I expect CCP to levy steep taxes though to keep the relative value of items in each game balanced.

What economy? All of the prices are already fixed. It's more like counter strike at this point, and the whole selling point of this game is a joke because of it.
If you allow this to happen, then everyone who plays Eve is going to funnel isk to their Dust character. When that happens, since there are amounts of isk owned by players in Eve that make Dust players look poor in comparison, then they'll just buy proto suits and never worry about going negative in a match.
Then let the free market come in where all of our stuff is produced and bought by players.
Then let the prices of protos jump out of everyone's range so quickly because of Eve players donating isk to their players that no one else can ever afford it if they don't play Eve.
A solution would be to remove tiers altogether and just have specialties and variants. I honestly think that's the only solution to this. Tiers are already breaking Dust game play and making it boring for newer players. Might as well remove them altogether and make it about how good the player is and not how old their Eve toon is. |

Plus ISK is the only thing not affected by purchases. A full ISK wipe would be perfect. The only proper way to do it is to not give any heads up beforehand otherwise corps will heavily stock up on supplies

I don't think it would break the game as much as a lot of people do. Large corps would just buy BPO and make the goods to give out for free to infantry. Large, rich groups will always have more and be able to do more because everyone wants to be rich and many move to the corp that can pay the most and there is great power in high numbers. If those numbers are well organized then they are hard to counter or stop.
Small groups will almost always have it tougher than a large group. We all want total integration in to EVE but I don't think you all want it like you think you do. What if you couldn't find your favorite suit and when you did it was 15 jumps from your location, you hire the pilot to go and get your suits for a total of 1M ISK for 15 suits. Lets also say that pilot has to fly through three low security systems on the way there and then the same three on the way back. That is 30 jumps and we'll say the average time is 45 seconds a jump. That is 22.5 minutes just to get there and back as fast as they can. Are you willing to wait 23 minutes for your suit? What if that pilot gets popped in one of those low sec systems or ganked outside your station? You just lost 1M ISK and waited 30 minutes for nothing.
Moving ISK between the game isn't going to break it as bad as everyone thinks, it won't be any worse than it is on the New Eden side. Yes people can buy up the market but there will always those whom undercut prices, the market and ISK transfers would help, in my opinion, more than it would hurt. Prices will go up but it would probably put a huge dent in proto stomping but with the way matches are created and without being able to move around, choose your home, choose what system to fight in, choose what sec stat to fight in and a host of other reasons then it probably wouldn't be doable. We have absolutely no choices so why would it matter if I have 50B ISK or 50M ISK.
No market and no choices means vast sums of ISK are meaningless unless you are bad at managing your wallet or just starting out.

Well DELT I know you're anti one universe//one war, you want dust to be it's own game and have nothing to do with EVE and want to turn DUST into COD, but let's be realistic.
EVE and DUST both exist in New Eden, they should share similar things, like a market, and the ability for me to pay not only my own mercs but other mercs to do things for me :)
I'm a free market guy, and those of you who study the free market know that it eventually balances itself out. they need to open the market and let the isk flow, there's no reason why I shouldn't be paying mercs for their services with EVE isk.

I want a free market as well between Eve and Dust. Hell, that's part of CCP's 5-year plan as they announced back in Fanfest 2013. But being realistic here we know that this will take time. And the reason here has less to do with Eve hurting Dust and more to do with Dust hurting Eve if the Dust economy is implemented incorrectly. Keep in mind that Eve's economy is a huge beast that is delicate at the same time. Speculation, regional monopolies, economic interdictions, scamming, null-sec/low-sec warfare, mining, invention, production, freight deliveries, etc. all factor into the secondary market in both major and subtle ways in Eve.
The point here is that Dust's economy needs to be done correctly and in phases. First phase should obviously let us do simple trade-window transactions between two players for those of us who like to sell our excess BPOs and unwanted officer gear. This phase should also deal with the issues present in Planetary Conquest. The next phase should bring in the early stages of resource gathering with maybe an implementation of Eve-Dust ISK transfers with Eve players handling the production side of things. The final phase should see the full implementation of the market window allowing Dust players to establish system-wide and region-wide markets with the ability to pay someone else to move it for them.
But again, this is something best left to CCP's in-house economist who obviously has 10 years active experience with Eve Online monstrous economy.

On the other hand. They could put in buy orders, dust players could get bpo's and bpc's and make things by purchasing tritanium, they could use stations to build things, players with districts could manufacture them at cheaper cost.

Considering many EVE players have sums of ISK that exceed the value of all the clones in Molden Heath, I don't think this is exactly a good 'solution'.

logged in just for this thread .... been an eve player for 5 years, still got the t shirt and tattoo ! For a small to medium size corp in Eve were up there making ISK in a wormhole with pi. Our potential is about 3 to 5 bil a month in profit. Its just the mega alliances and coalitions that really owns enough isk to buy a country.
Lets say with 5 bil a month Dust budget we can really compete with top Dust corps in PC. Now that is a win win situation for most small to medium size corps in Dust.
With the amount of clones getting killed in Dust ...its exactly the type of ISK sink needed for Eve and the free market WILL stabilize the supply and demand to an equilibrium. Where necessary CCP could just intervene until things have stabilized.
Oh and trust me when I say the entrepreneurs in Eve will make sure you have suits in a station ....np.
The biggest problem I see is that mid to low level suits will become obsolete for all those players with max skills...for a suit set.

Hmm lets just recap this a bit: -i can make 30 million ISK within like 20 mins of eve. Thats more then enough to fund a dust char for like a whole month.
CCP is not going to allow that simply cause it would ruin their buisness model for dust. And i explain you how this works: -rich players stomp n00bs non stop with high end equipment -n00bs get upset and frustrated -n00bs then go and buy AUR to fund AUR suits
This is basically how it works, frustrate the majority of players and then they buy stuff stright from CCP. Allowing enormous sums of ISK to be transfered from eve would crash this ecconomical system. Sure there is no ecconomy between players but there surely is ecconomy for CCP.

Conversion rates are currently at between 6:1 and 3:1. There should be tax that would cause isk exchange between dust and eve to be at similar ratios.

Why ? Fuxk the tax idea a suit doesnt cost the same money as a space ship... (edit even more) this game should be played ......guns blazing ! its ccps stupid idea to create demand on the suits and gear instead of skill :( For balance reasons. Your suit still is much cheaper than a spaceship, but your EVE ISK gets taxed at a heavy rate. The alternative is to radically redesign the payouts from matches so an hour of playing dust frugally should generate roughly the same ISK as an average EVE player running level 4 missions.
It's not hard to get billions of ISK in EVE. That kind of cash would ruin the risk vs. ISK in DUST. Tax it so your billion becomes 100 million (or whatever the rate is) and things are much more reasonable.
Having a living market is a huge part of what makes New Eden special. Killing someone wearing a shiny suit will cause demand for the suit/modules/weapons to rise by 1, which will result in the price increasing on the aggregate for those items. With as much gear as we destroy, having EVE-side production/distribution for DUST gear will be a huge boost to the New Eden Economy.
Best PvE idea ever!

Dust isn't P2W. If you have a eve account you shouldn't be able to beat the game in a matter of seconds. The main idea of the game is to make money. If someone can get a lifetime amount of isk in a matter of seconds is flawed.
I don't understand what your 2nd point is about suits and money. If your talking about the conversion rate, it is more difficult to make isk in dust then eve. Since of that demand for dust isk is higher then eve isk. In turn causing conversion rates to favor older dust mercs.

It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with combining the markets in EVE (Yes there are MORE than one) with the market in DUST.

Fixing PC should bring and end to those stockpiles pretty quickly. One solution would be either outsourcing clone production out to EVE and/or making them require resources to produce, so they won't be free ISK with only a small margin. Direct EVE to Dust ISK transfer would be madness, I could fund myself for the next two years of game time with the ISK I have in EVE... |

I can confirm that the lead economist did fall out of his chair upon hearing CCP's suggestion. Lol

What we need is for a clean reset to happen. Some players have been playing since when there was hardly anything to buy and have thus saved so much money that they can never spend it all. Once CCP has figured out how to merge Eve and Dust's economy and/or allowed for a real market with player2player sales, they should allow everyone to keep their sp and aurum, but remove all non-bpo items and isk from everyone's account. CCP can't remove aurum as people payed real money for it, same with bpos, plus bpos are almost all militia items and don't affect the game balance the same way being able to buy an effectively unlimited amount of proto suits does.
That way everyone will be on a level playing field for a short bit equipment wise, not skills wise though, and everyone can build up money on a more level field. I know that such a reset would be unpopular, but it is the only way to address the fact that some people have way more money than they could have earned if they had started with the current update and played the same amount of time. We can't fix that problem by adjust prices because anything that would clean out the 600m plus bank accounts would be unreasonable for anyone else. |

The op's idea works, on the surface, until you realise that there's nothing to stop the people in the biggest corps and alliances from doing exactly the same thing. Considering you can get over a billion isk in EVE by spending -ú30 and selling the plex on the in game market, it would flood Dust with huge amount of isk for those who have eve accounts and leave those who haven't got one comparatively poor. Add the player driven market and prices for the best gear would soar, making it so that only people who have, or can get, eve accounts can afford to play at the high levels. Not everyone has access to a PC capable of running the eve client, or the disposable income to buy plex regularly.
So despite being one of the people who does play eve, and can afford plex if I want to, I say that CCP made the right decision when they shut down the ability to transfer isk straight from Eve to Dust.
Don't forget that CCP have their own in-house economist to help them make sure that the market stays stable enough for everyone to be able to play the games at all levels. I'm sure he's being consulted heavily as they decide what to do regarding the Dust market for when it goes to a player driven system.
It would also potentially crash the Eve market and bring an end to the game itself as when it's suddenly innundated with plex, the price in game would crash and everyone would be able to afford to plex their accounts by just running missions for a day or two, Plex would be bought up in bulk and kept in stations as a stockpile of game time, people would stop paying for subscriptions, cutting CCP's income to a trickle which would mean they can't afford to develop either game anymore.
Whilst that last is a worst case scenario, if I, who has no real training as an economist, can see the potential, then the experts at CCP can see that potential so they'll advise against it as strongly as they possibly can.
It took years for the eve economy to get where it is today and it's only there because it handles both the supply and the demand of in game items. Without a way for players to produce everything in game, the dust economy will never get to the same point. People will point to eve players and say that they will produce the dropsuits, vehicles, weapons and modules that we need, but that's only true if they can make a profit at it, which means Dust needs a working economy before the markets are linked. Which won't happen whilst we can still buy everything from NPC's as they set an absolute maximum price that players will buy for. Right now, the dust and eve markets are incompatible with each other and CCP knows it.

A clean reset is no longer possible in Dust without annoying a large percentage of players. Not just the top tier, but also the others who have played hard to get enough isk to stay on an even footing. Those who have all the isk, still control the methods for making the isk with the least risk, the PC districts. A reset of isk and items will only make it harder to take those off them as they'll more quickly make isk than even the most skilled players who aren't in those corps and alliances. Returning the game to the situation we're in now.
I've recently heard on an eve podcast I listen to, although I can't remember which one right now, that one of the CPM members is excited about what CCP has planned for the future of Dust, although he obviously didn't give any details, so I'm waiting impatiently for the FanFest Dust keynote, hoping he's right because as it is, I can't see how Dust lasts much longer and I would love for Dust to have a resurgence and start to fulfill it's potential.

Maken Tosch wrote:It depends on how CCP handles it. From an economic point of view, the logical first step to establishing a stable secondary market in Dust is to FIRST AND FOREMOST fix PC. PC in it's current state despite some changes it recently had, is still a bit of an ISK faucet. There is also the infamous ALT-recycling exploit that needs to be addressed. If they address that first, then we can proceed to the next step.
The second logical step is to establish a series of ISK sinks. Eve Online has a lot of ISK but in small bits that are subtle but add up quickly. Broker Fees are imposed at a flat rate (adjustable via skill books) on any buy/sell orders you establish. Taxes are imposed on any sales you make (also adjustable via skill books) as a percentage of the value of the sale. There are also fees imposed on modifying current buy/sell orders on the market that are your own. There are export taxes imposed whenever you transfer planetary materials from the planet to the customs office in orbit. As you can see, fees, taxes, and tariffs are literally everywhere in New Eden. Even the use of NPC facilities such as repair services and manufacturing/research/invention slots will force you to pay a fee of some form. This is a great way to keep ISK flow under control.
The third and final step is to introduce material requirements for the operation and maintenance of planetary districts. Those outposts won't fuel themselves and thus can force even the most powerful corps to invest heavily in buying or harvesting materials needed to fuel those districts.
If done right, this will bleed off the excess ISK without needing to do any ISK/Asset wipes and can keep the ISK flow under control.

some of you people are a little bit too much tinfoil.
Let's look at this from the most obvious CCP perspective: Opening the market -> Dust players get EVE accounts -> Dust players spend money on plex to change to isk -> CCP makes money.
Then again I'm a free market kind of guy. It should be known that CCP will also intervene with the market if it becomes too unstable.

Lore wise, New Eden already has another currency. The regular citizens don't use Isk. Isk is used by the various immortals, corporations and governments. If I remember correctly, each empire has it's own currency for every day use, for things like food and clothes and everything else the people who aren't buying ships and starbases need to buy.
Something like that would have been ideal for Dust as we're not buying things on the scale of spaceships. Sure our expense are higher than the average citizen, but not that much higher.

This. I (and my Eve alt, Min Lo) have operated a currency exchange converting player's isk between games, since September. About a couple hundred transactions, for about 10B Dust isk and about 80B Eve isk.
This lets Dust players who try Eve go straight from their free trial to plexing their Eve account, if they make about 130M Dust isk profit per month. This lets Eve players support their Dust habit without worrying about grinding Dust isk or breaking into PC.
The exchange has been an unmitigated success, but I still look forward to CCP building an official exchange and opening up markets in Dust. What would cloaks and CRs cost once people realize that they're OP? What would scout suits cost when everyone and their brother switches to scouts after a patch buffs them? People won't need to argue about whether plasma cannons are under powered, the in ability to sell them for more than they cost to manufacture will be proof enough. A market is a superb mechanism for discerning what a community really values. |

If you want to bring up the idea of LORE, in EVE, capsuleers make isk, and they can give isk to whoever they want, so it makes no sense according to LORE why EVE players wouldn't be able to give dust players isk especially when dust players regularly spend it in game and make it in game. so you can take the LORE statement and shove it in the invalid statement box.
LORE is a huge flaw when it comes to New Eden. It's almost as if the people who wrote the lore never played the game.

It's funny.
EVE... Because of it's diverse market and economy and the fact, that a big chunk of players purely play EVE or have come to play EVE for the market.. Being in the vocation of Stock Brokers, Bankers, Financial sector workers.. Understand the implications and complex diverse economy EVE has.
CCP's like number 2 person, with the most power in the company is; Dr. Eyjolfur Gudmundsson. CCP's lead Economist.. And he has been quoted many times saying something along the lines of.. two economies will never fully merge.. We will merely get drop "In's" such as tanks and vehicles from EVE Capsuleer's.. And possibly have commodity trades with the EVE to DUST side at best.
It's best for DUST as well to develop it's own independent economy... EVE will only flood the economy and make so much of DUST meaningless. |

The potential big benefit to opening up EVE/DUST ISK transfer is actually equalizing the environment of DUST 514 by flooding the market. DNS corps would no longer be the sole source of immense wealth. For instance, I could afford my alliance the ability to get attacking districts significantly more often. So could many other corps and alliances.
It breaks a lot of things though, as then everyone will always run proto in matches, except newbies with no ties to alliances and corps. The NPE is the biggest concern here. It solves one problem, only by exacerbating another.
