If Dust truly works out this way, then awesome. However, I don't see it really having any effect on the Eve market or even the relative value of isk.

Sure, a lot more of it will be dumped from the system, but there aren't many players that would be involved in the dust connection.

Also, we have such an established market in Eve that I don't see it having that much of an effect.

Costs won't get reduced on items, which effectively means that isk would still be considered the same relative value.



Here's the real problem though.

When CCP established Eve, the rewards given to players were extremey high, and the costs of items were extremely high.

So, what we consider to be the relative value of isk was established by CCP upon initial design.

Now, had they started Eve with rewards for NPC paid activities being 1/10th of what they are now, and sold NPC seeded items at 1/10th of what they had released them at, well, we would have a higher relative value to isk.

In Eve inflation is non-existant. Isk truly has no relative value.
It's all make believe.
Some players assume that the costs of items have gone up because the amount of isk in the system has been dramatically increased. This is not true.
The truth is that CCP and the players themselves have taken measures to reduce the amount of ITEMS on the market through CCP's hard push to kill bot mining, and player actions such as burn jita and the Gallente icecapades.
This have all effected the costs of items on the market.

See, unlike in the real world, there is no international government or banking conglomerate to determine the relative value of currency. Therefore, the introduction of more and more isk into the system is a non-factor.

The costs of items is based on the availability of those items and is in no way connected to the introduction of more isk into the system.

So, finding new ways to create isk dumps in the system will have no effect on the market apart from less people being able to afford certain items, thus building an abundance of that item which would reduce the relative value of that item due to competition.
So, again, inflation in Eve is the factor of the market and not the currency.
