I'm not talking about selecting 50 or whatever number of items that you want. I'm talking about buying bulk amounts and getting slight discounts for it. I was purchasing a basic dropkit at 9.7k a pop. This was near bottom tier stuff.
I'm not suggesting a 20% discount on 50 items, not even 10 or 5%. Something like a 2.5% per 50 would be nice. I think this will promote better usage of dropsuits/kits. I'm stingy when it comes to my ISK in this game, and for good reason. It's the (near) universal currency. Use it for items, equipment, weapons, skillbooks purchases, etc.
TL;DR:
50 items = 2.5% discount
100 items = 5%
150 = 7.5%
200+ = 10%
This promotes more market usage in items people like instead of using starter kits for 10 games in a row until they feel comfortable on throwing down money for kits. |

Doubt you will get one though because within a week of the game going live the market will be screwed because of the "if I mine it it's free" group which means there will either be minimal or no profit in it. Even BS in eve are for microscopic profits, other things it's often better to sell the minerals, more money.
Wait, so the market will actually be tied to the Eve Market? What if participation is low because (hopefully this wont happen) Dust 514 participation is low? Not everyone will see profit in this if there isn't enough demand. It would result in clear gaps of items that are harder for them to produce and sell. |

So, if player count is low, will ISK rewards be higher since they have a higher demand for us? |
