DF:UW had big power gaps between new players and veteran players. There was also a big power difference between tiers of gear. In Fractured you don't have any of that, but in stead horizontal progression and gear that is situational instead of more powerfull.

What we know right now. We'll automagically know some basic crafts and combat. (speculation here) Merchants may sell reagents that are required for crafting. I can see them selling basic tier consumables like water and stale bread.
Each player have to gather and craft the basic stuff then get an advanced crafter to make better tiered gear (this is speculation as how I imagine it).
There will be city based auction houses but nothing that will connected all 3 planets. You'll have to venture from town to town to see what's being offered. This also makes for a courier profession and trader profession.
@specter
correct, I'm not an employee of DS. Thus what I say isn't an official statement by my own observation. I did my best to not state it as fact but I used the word believe which implies an opinion.
@jetah Yeah, and the bard could, if wishes, work in a tavern for coin, having also an economic value in the game. I hope that is implemented in game at some point, it would make the experience of the game more realistic,
@cystematic
