There was plenty of Open World PVP in WOW on any server I played onGǪ I made sure of it! But seriously, did you play on a PVP server, or are you judging World PVP based on how it was on a PVE server?
Not to mention the fact you canGÇÖt loot another player in WOW, while you will be able to steel someone elseGÇÖs salvage in Legion. PVP in Salvage districts will be profitable, just like ganking people in EVE can be profitable.
Instanced battles give you a fight whenever you want it, on a momentGÇÖs notice. Instanced battles in Legion will give EVE players something to do when there is nothing going on in EVE.
And finally, since all dropsuits, weapons, and equipment will come from the Salvage districts, supply and demand dictates that if everyone is doing Instanced battles all the time instead of Salvaging, the cost of their gear will go through the roof, and Salvaging will become immensely profitable.

May not be true. I expect that militia weapons will always be available. And we are yet to see what microtransaction route CCP will take (BPOs for Aurum etc). Its hard to speculate with so little information available
Oh, I certainly agree on the Militia gear. There are any number of reasons to insure there is a stable supply and price on Militia gear. But that in no way diminishes my point. People will want better gear than the Militia stuff, and if they canGÇÖt afford to buy better gear, they will go to the Salvaging grounds to get it, or at least to get stuff to sell to be able to afford the stuff they want.
If lots of people are salvaging, then prices will drop, and the payout from instanced battles will seem really high, but if less people are salvaging, then the prices will rise and the profit from selling salvaged items will become much higher than what you can earn through instanced battles.
As for the AUR model, people who fit their suits primarily off of AUR gear will be a small minority.
Neither Militia gear, nor AUR items will have a significant impact on the market.
