I think they should try it.
The worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't work out, and they revert back to what it is now.
And like someone else said, it may increase the FW play.

So that right there is fked unless aurum wouldn't factor?.
Yeah, I don't think it should include aurum items. That would not go over well if they suddenly increased dramatically in price.
It would just come off as a money grab.
Besides, I think that the fact aurum is actually correlated with real money brings an aspect of risk that is not present with ISK transactions. I think part of what makes this idea great is that it would create much greater risk/reward as the most popular items will also be the highest cost items.

RE: Newbs
I see this as a great deal for them. Unless they so significantly outnumber vets that std level weapon purchases far exceed proto and adv purchases, it should result in lower standard weapon prices.
Also, when looking at potential abuse by lots of proto purchasing in the first week or so, that would also very much help new players as the number of proto weapons would initially be held in fewer hands once prices increased. This would result in a period of time where proto stomping was less available, and mercs would be economically forced to run adv or even std gear.
The reality is there are so many possibilities that it could be one of the best things to happen in Dust, one of the worse, or somewhere in between.
I perceive the ease of removing such a system would limit any potential negatives and that this could be a calculated risk that would inject some incredible and interesting aspects into Dust.

Either way, it's a much larger investment than it may seem.
I love the idea, but my immediate thought on viewing it, is that there are smaller time investment projects than can reap far better rewards for the players than this.
I am sure there are some formulas they could put together that would by and large negate the need for someone to constantly monitor this.
I think it would be less effective even if prices were merely subjective based upon that individual's moods etc.

This could be pretty interesting now that matchmaking is causing more deaths for many pub stompers out there.

Also: Posting in a stealth "nerf proto and/or slayer scout" thread. I support the idea of a simulated market for Dust on the grounds that Dust will not be getting an ACTUAL secondary market anymore -- that's going for Project Legion instead if you haven't heard -- therefore your argument is invalid.
Seriously though, if this were in any way a nerf to proto and slayer scouts, I would be pointing that out, especially as a scout.
What this would most likely do is increase the price on anything considered FOTM and reward many people who stick to a style even if it is unpopular.
