No as you ignore the aspect that you need a PLEX to get Aurum to get the NEX items in the first place.
Money to make PLEX, PLEX to make Aurum, Aurum to get NEX items.
NPC goods you get with ISK, which is gotten from PVE, or actually playing the game.
Yes, but I meant only as far as the industry people are concerned, the NeX shop is the same a NPC seller. NeX items are infinite in amount and seeded by CCP, same as NPC goods.
Not "the same", there are similarities but fundamentally very different, they exist as they do to remove isk from the game to counter the isk coming into the game, both are 'never ending' in/out. NEX items as a part of PLEX to Aurum exists to remove PLEX which is tied to $ and numerous other differences, they are more different than they are alike. PLEX while numerous aren't never ending.
Plex arenÆt never ending? IÆm not sure what you mean û ccp wonÆt run out of plex any more then they will run out of gold ammo.
That said I do think there is a difference between gold ammo and say meta 4 loot. You canÆt get blue prints for meta four items but there is a sort of manufacturing process. That process is killing npcs and looting their wrecks.
If the economy is such that these items are not worth looting players wonÆt do it. Once few enough players are looting wrecks then the price will go up enough where some will loot. This isnÆt called manufacturing in the game but it pretty much is manufacturing from a economic point of view.
There are some items like skill books that are pretty much just seeded like the aurum items. But they are pretty small in number and ccp seemed like they wanted to reduce that number.
After thinking considering these concerns I do think that ccp could cause some real problems for eve if they do not limit mt to vanity items.
If they do the mt for vanity items alone then it will be pretty much a separate economy and wonÆt really effect the manufactured goods.
So you wouldnÆt be able to buy any sort of ammo or ships for aurum but you could pay for things that make the ammo look pretty when fired or paint for your ship.
As long as people always have to look to the player driven economy for all the non-vanity items the eve economy wonÆt be effected.
But to the extent any players can buy any non-vanity items the eve economy will be less and less player driven.
