good question, how do you transfer isk to dust and not totally **** off the ps3 players that dont have affiliations to eve. 
and not make it look like your forcing people to play eve to support dust.
edit; did they fix the mouse sensitivity yet? |

reading between the lines it's always been the plan that currency moves between the two whether they can think of a good way to do it sooner rather than later is another thing. it'll extend to eve players making small arms weapons, suits, planetary vehcles etc at one point i would imagine and much much more.
i would imagine since the begining the plan was always to try and entice ps3 players into EvE and the other way around. sony gave money for development knowing some EvE players would purchase the console but most prefer kb/m so to try and drag pc players in they added it to dust (fix the damn mouse sensitivity btw). ccp knew some dust players might end up in EvE, to encourage that they may make some advantage to having an eve account, that would make sense but i'd think they would be mindfull of people on both sides that have no interest in the other genere - some EvE players downright hated the idea and still do. This is so groundbreaking two totally different games with a symbiotic relationship running on 1 shard when it works out.
theres a free trial, every dust player should try it but be warned it's not like an fps and can be brutal yet rewarding. dont fly what you can't afford to lose, and dont jump into a big shiny expensive ship if you don't have the skills to protect it. remember your never totally safe even in high sec, scamming is totally ok as long as it's not for real life money, double check everything and try to stay away from trade window deals. after a while you can make enough ingame currency so your not spending your own on subscriprions like whispercrow pointed a few posts above. personally im hoping eve is something i can pay for to fund my dust, whether sony will allow this if they have any say is another thing.
mercs are paid in isk -InterStellarKredits not planetary money.
ps they always said they would wait and see how dust pans out before joining the two if at all. |

There are lot's of Dust players who are also EVE players, but the solution to the problem of Dust-only players being unable to afford anything because the prices for items are being set by people with spare billions lying around is not to get those Dust-only players to play EVE.
i agree that would be forcing them to play EvE but remember that ccp needs to make money somewhere. AUR items will always be available to dust mercs as well as isk earned in dust, regarding resources for dust mercs you'll probably find they come down in price when they start getting manufactured (at least when the market settles)
isk will be relatively easy to aquire for EvE players, easier than dust anyway. it's important that ccp get their monthly sub from somewhere maybe not -ú15 for dust as it is currently (only my opinion) but it needs to get some money back whether it's aur items, boosters or subs in EvE that basically transfer to isk in dust this enables continued development in dust............they have grand plans, someone needs to pay for them.
you want to play dust for free its still free but you need to be carefull with the isk you earn. anyway the more dumb rich players from eve there are losing valuable equipment in dust the larger the match rewards will be for dusters. |

your kidding yourself. the best corps will still be eve funded, that's the whole concept of the way they designed this game to tie into EvE. its a two way thing eve players will need dust mercs and dust merc need EvE players, maybe not totally at release but that's what they are hoping for in the future.
anyway who pays the rewards? who hold the purse strings? contracts are still going to be paid by EvE players.
and if you mean EvE players being less skilled/tactical than some console jockeys, LoL. there are people in the EvE community that were playing competative games vastly more skilled and complex than dust is currently 10 + years ago. mind you they're all old now maybe they were old then who knows. |

eve economy isnt like wow auction house. the items most NPC sell are unlimited or virtually. and buy a load of stock at your peril, when the blueprints come out you might find yourself with gains or losses. this is one area i hate eve, devs chat with their freinds and "insider trading" ensues. |

the isk in eve is transferable to real money if you equate it to gametime. gametime cards=plex=isk. that 10 billion isk contract starting to look better?
actually real money isnt a good description as it never really leaves ccp once it's spent there. |
