Or they can just copy the Eve Online market and let the players have full control over the prices and minerals needed for production. |

There will always be demand for any gear. You just have to know which region (ie: Domain, Molden Heath, Lonetrek, Heinmatar, etc.) to sell it at.
In Eve Online, there are items in the market that don't see any demand at a particular region for long periods of time. To an experienced marketeer like me, I can exploit that by buying the material in bulk from other players for dirt cheap by simply putting up long-term buy orders at a marked-down prices as I take advantage of players who are just fire-selling their junk to me.
I then turn those items around and put them up as multiple sell orders that later sit in the market for as long as 90 days while I make a profit trading other items that already have demand. Those sell orders are posted at marked-up prices to increase my profit margins. This way, if someone comes along that for some reason needs those items NOW, they can buy it from me en mass. And if I'm the only seller there, I can monopolize on the selling price.
I'm doing this already in Eve Online and so far it's working nicely. I managed to land a huge profit because one fella came along and needed a certain item in the region and I just so happen to be the only seller.
Of course, there is always the threat of some other marketeer coming in and competing against me by undercutting me. |

Wouldn't that be a little too complicated for an FPS game like this? Sure, they mine and create stuff in EVE, but for a game in the FPS genre that would be taking it a little too far, don't you think?
No. In fact, that's part of CCP plan for the next 5 years. Get ready.
Besides, the Dust economy will merge with the Eve economy anyways. |

It will be hard to stabilize economy after introducing NPC cash machines. It's going to be bad enough with a limitless supply of cash from public matches.
It ruins potential business market. Like myself, I have plans for open market. One man's trash is another man's treasure after all, there are people looking for all kinds of gear. It wouldn't be any fun if everything had a fixed price, because no one would pay a cent higher than NPC prices if they existed.
PS: If you need Quafe Suits, Cala's SMGs, remember Bojo's Grand Bazaar in the future. I have 125 Quafes, and they'll sell like hotcakes.
PPS: How would anyone sell Quafe's to NPC huh? They have no price.
This.
I have a lot of planned for the Eve-style market in DUST. Regional monopolies here I come. |

If the market is setup like Eve, then you won't know who sold you the stuff until after you completed the transaction. Lol |
