I think there should be benefits such as dust mercs being able to find more rare materials easier than eve pilots but eve pilots can manufacture things twice as quick so it encourages integration.
I'm being very vague as I'm really high, I think for getter integration we need dust and eve to rely on each other a bit and to gain more out of it than otherwise. Players need a reason to integrate, merely having it as a more time consuming option isn't reasonable.
I also like where the ops idea is going.
If you know what a telefrag match is, then I love you.
The tritanium I sell is more relevant than dust has ever been.

This is the kind of stuff we need in the game most definitely.

In Eve Online, due to the flexible nature of the free market, there are players who make hundreds of millions of ISK every week or month (depending on how good they are) without ever undocking from their station for months at a time or almost never. You'll usually find these people in systems like Jita, Amarr, Rens, and Dodixie. But mainly in Jita and Amarr.
Imagine seeing this in Dust where players make massive profit without even leaving their merc quarters. But keep in mind that marketeers is a HIGH RISK with HIGH REWARD gameplay by itself and it doesn't need CCP to manage it when market forces alone will keep in check. This niche gameplay is why it's called a niche because only those players with a very good marketing skill set can pull it off like that while trying to do their best to avoid the high risks I'm talking about.
I have dealt with marketeers for months and I can tell you that's not easy at all especially when you need to invest a lot of capital (between 300m to 500m ISK just to start) and train up a boatload of trade skills to cut down on broker fees, taxes, and expand your reach on remote buy/sell orders. You also have to try to gauge the market on which items are the top movers and which are not and that requires investing in commodities that can potentially end up being nothing but junk to you and you can't make any profit with it later on. The value of the commodities also fluctuate from day to day so your top movers might one day end up being junk the next day or week so you have to constantly be on the lookout and diversify your portfolio.
Note: It is extremely likely that the vast majority of Marketeers doing this are either real-world economists, accountants, brokers, daytraders, etc. who just so happen to have a keen eye for tracking money.
I'm already working my way there but I won't need a calculator for a good while. ![Blink](https://forums.dust514.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_blink.png)

You can save contacts of people that buy your ore often and keep them on the watchlist so you know that when they are on, you can play them.
I have actually agreed with an eve market player on a non official basis that he'll buy all my ore off the market and I watch him do it. I pushed the price a fraction up each time until he stopped buying, I simply remove the order and put it back a fraction and then he buys it.
This is obviously small time but iv been playing eve for 3 days and iv sold easily over 3 million units of titanium. I am working my way there slowly but I need to invest sht before I can really start playing the market and eventually, as mak said, never leave the station lol.Iv also been buying out low sale ore and re selling higher but again I'm a newb so nothing special yet.
I do however want to do mining and I'm skilling for my mining barge and eventually minmatar fw and other stuff. I like the way in eve that you have to have a plan.
