$1 = 17m ISK
$1 = 100 gold, based on some quick googling.
So like 6 gold = 1m isk approximately.

It's actually a bit harder to get gold than that (more time consuming that is). Assuming the average highsec mission runner and the average level 80, I'd say 2 gold per 1 mil is about right.
edit: and just to remind you, there is still no divider between posts and sigs.

Pretend that there is a price tag for the full levle 80 set.
The make that price expendable per death.
becuase in wow you dont lose gear when you die.
In eve you are likely losing every bit of it.
So in eve there is a constant build damand for ALL equipment.
Where as wow there is only a trinkeling supply of demand for equipment of players who only need it once per play though and possibly skip it in the end.
But as far in terms of force factor multipliers.
A combat effective Titan is worth several guilds banks and members fully of epic loots in terms of power brought to bear as they are massive force multipliers and take effort of many players to just kill one of, though it by itself is no pwnmobile either more like a fat target.
It takes probably couple thousand players (by proxy) to get one built as well. Encompassing hundred of miners, industrialist of various skills, shipyard managers, allaince leadership for establishment of territorial control enforced by dozens of combat ready pilots, logistics to ship stuff, and scientists to research the blueprints and if you want a step further the ultimate trader whom needs a trusty worthy broker to transfer ship and funds. Thousands of man hours go into each titan built.
In world of warcraft crafting chain is at max 3 people. Gatherer, Processed product, and Final product. Most of the time those three people are all the same person (miner and blacksmith) logistics are non existent in a game of insta ports, and AH are server wide so no trader needed. Closest thing to a scientist in wow is a dps monkey and bottom line the best craftable item is probably less than a hundred man hours.
So a better comparison to wow is
Having your top of the line lvl 80 character getting perma killed for a battle over wintergrasp zone to controll it for a very long time until the opposing faction musters enough forces again to throw more lvl 80s at it.

A simple method of comparison could be to ask, "how much ISK or gold can a high-end player make in an hour?"
The payout of isk per hour can be compared to gold per hour. That would allow two players of different games to compare the cost of items.

lol it was just a question about exchange rates yet everyone and their mother is running in here proclaiming stupid **** about how WoW is this and WoW is that and Eve is so much better blah blah blah.
If you can't answer the question then stop posting, he didn't ask how much better Eve is than WoW or anything like that.
Fact is you CAN use your WoW gold to purchase time cards from other WoW players, my friend has done it. All you need to do is find another WoW player willing to do it.
In that context all you have to do is find out what a time card is worth in isk, and what its worth in wow and there's your exchange rate.
It's really that simple.
And no, I don't play WoW.

No hes asking how to explain to his friend what a million isk is in wow gold which is a very subjective question that there is no exact answer to.
True you can do the direct conversions but that ebank scam equated to 8 million wow gold give or take, players in wow cannot begin to imagine anywhere near that much gold all at once throws the perspective way off because litterally you cant have that much let alone nothing in that game is remotely that expensive you can probably buy one of everything with that sort of gold in wow.
Another major difference between games is preservation of goods. A tristan is still a tristan after 7 years, its been subjectively the same price as always becuase it has mainstay value for players of all ages still and uses for all players of any prespective no matter how long they've played, that ship STILL can cater to thier needs one way or another, tech 2 pilot? get a nemesis yet it still requires the Tristan to build which is built out of the stuff you been mining since you first picked up your noob ship veldspare. Yet in WoW low end gear becomes worthless and devalued over time especially when that gear no longer caters in any way shape or form to most older players copper is never used to make anything a lvl 80 uses. Pretty soon all the current lvl 80 gear will be worhtless with another expansion, the same happened with the lvl 60 gear and the lvl 70 gear most are not worth beyond 5 gold in todays wow. Where as our tristan has only gotten cheaper over the years not becuase of worthlessness but the fact the demand and supply been racing each other these years, the growing number of needed tristans are swamped with the over compititon to build cheaply and sell low to not drown in the market.
If you have anything to tell your friend tell him to understand an isk's value is to understand we still use copper to build the most expensive ship in the game and lots of it and once its destroyed they have to start all over again.

the problem with your post is that most, if not all high end WoW gear cannot be bought or sold because it is bound to the player.
Unless of course you're talking about character selling of course.

Quick Answer:
1G in World of Warcraft = 100k ISK in EVE
As a new player, it takes a while to earn your first gold. Likewise in EVE, it will take about as long to earn your first million.
As the game progresses, gold comes easier - however the repair bills (especially for a tank) increase the running costs to the extent of 35-50G/night if not a little more depending on activity.
Additionally, while you don't lose your gear upon death, it becomes extremely expensive to replace gear (upgrade) due to enchants, gems, etc...
The biggest difference is that EVE scales much better the more currency you have. With 100k Gold, you could completely unbalance say the wool market on the Auction House for a while.
In EVE, this kind of tampering is lessened by the single-shard approach.
