The market will come. The problem is Eve Online. DUST's market will merge with the Eve market.
Eve Online has an economy and market that is so complex, yet so successful, that Guild Wars II tried to adopt the system. Eve's economy is considered to be the most robust and the most stable in the entire mmo industry. |

Eve's economy is considered to be the most robust and the most stable in the entire mmo industry. It-¦s so complex my geopraphy teacher even referred to it as the best example for a free enterprise economy. You joking? Lulz. So many lulz.
This is no joke. Look at Eve Online for yourself if you don't believe me. The whole thing is one giant ecosystem of its own. There is no other mmo like it in the world. |

In EVE you have to have different minerals and a set of skills to create what the BPO is, in Dust all you have to do is own the BPO.
I'm going to take this quote and emphasize it further by saying that it takes far more than acquiring minerals and skills to produce what the BPO requires.
You will also need access to station services that have available production slots. If you are in high-sec space and don't have your own player-owned structure (POS) that is used for production, then you are stuck waiting in a queue that can take hours or days to even let you get started with production.
There are also standings that you need to grind up via mission running if you want to get a better deal like lowered production fees that the stations charge you every time you use a slot. Those standings take a very long time to grind up as you have to spend hours each day for weeks (if not months) on end trying to build up the proper standings needs to get those good deals.
If you run your own corp and you have enough security standings with Concord, you can then establish your own POS in high-sec that can be used for production and avoid the long queues and hefty fees. But you are responsible for maintaining that POS by refilling it with fuel which costs ISK and fitting it with the proper modules which by themselves also cost ISK. There is also the inherent risk of dealing with opposing corps that declare war against you and your POS every now and then and you have to defend that POS which also costs ISK because of the ships and people you need to defend it.
As you can see, it's not that simple in Eve when it comes to BPOs. Demon is right in that Dust BPOs don't require any of this... for now.
I say "for now" because CCP already has plans to implement an industry of sorts which will involve Eve Online players handling the production side of things while Dust players handle the acquisition of the minerals needed for production. |

Welcome to New Eden. Where risk-aversed players are not welcomed. The exit is that way. You can leave at any time. Just don't expect sympathy from us when you do leave. You are no different than the whiners who whined about Eve Online having too much risk because they are not able to AFK in their mining barge for hours on end without some outlaw player ganking them in high-sec or unable to avoid the scams that are rampant in the game because they are too lazy to read the details of the contract they accepted before accepting it.
If you don't like risk, too ******* bad. You can go ahead and cry me a river, Justin Timberlake. |
