You're forgetting about market competition. If everyone does it, proto suits will be dirt cheap ISK wise. Sure, everyone may be running around in the AUR version instead of the full-skill version if it gets cheap enough. But doesn't everyone win then? Except the sucker buying AUR suits in mass quantities hoping to get rich quick?
That and the guy manufacturing the isk suits loses out to the people buying them for AUR to sell cheaper than the material cost of the manufactured isk versions.
This is going to be a real problem eventually. |

You won't be able to sell anything for AUR ... the player market is only isk so you won't be able to make your trillions the way you suggested.
You can buy stuff from the (lets call it a) 'shop' for AUR then sell it on the market, but players won't be paying you AUR as AUR can only be spent in the shop, the in game currency is isk, that is what we trade in.
The main item in Eve sold for AUR-> isk conversion is the PLEX (which are used to extend your subscription), however there are several other cosmetic items that can be bought for AUR and sold on the market but I couldnt tell you how equivalent the values are ... it mostly depends on supply and demand, PLEXs always being in high demand.
Though I do agree the balance should be looked at before the market goes live, CCP has economists to deal with this kind of thing, but they might not have considered it so much seeing as we don't have a PLEX style item that will be the best/most popular way to buy isk.
From your sums I think you said 30 mil isk for your $20 / 40, 000 AUR ... or something like that ... but I don't doubt active and passive boosters will sell for over a hundred million giving you 40, 000 over 7, 000 X 100 = more than 500 mil isk. So I dont imagine the suits anx weapons will be so heavily sold for isk anyway. |

Instead of keeping us up to date on changes and future updates, we're bombarded week after week with stupid crap to spend our $$ on. Who cares about your colorful P2W suit if the game is buggy as **** and totally unbalanced?
I might start falling behind, because I get pretty much no enjoyment out of this game right now. It's a shame, really....
Was that your opinion on the AUR to isk conversion rate for the different AUR bought items ?
If so could you rephrase it as I didn't catch anything relevant to the topic. |
