I feel like many of the people who have read the OP so far have misinterpreted how such a system would work (and correct me if I'm mistaken in my interpretation). Before arguing whether or not it should be implemented, and complaining about possible effects, let's make sure we're understanding the proposed system accurately.
If I'm reading this post correctly, the obtaining of loot from NKP would not be via the game client, rather it'd be done through the Nord Invasion website (similar to spending of Assist XP). Players will still get random loot in the normal fashion, but on top of that they will earn and be able to spend NKP in a newly implemented site-based marketplace.
One possible issue is that if such a system were implemented, the devs would directly influence the perceived value of drops by adding a NKP value to them. You can extrapolate from this effects on the NI economy on your own since I can't seem to think of the words to intelligently express why this could be an issue. Overall I am in support of having NKP, but the issue should be considered more deeply.
