Resources are currency. You spend it on guns and vehicles.

Honestly.. I think this paragraph is alot of assumption.

Speaking of valuable resources, PlanetSide 2 will offer FPS fans something rarely experienced in shooters these days – character wealth. In short, players will be able to vie for control of wealth, giving gamers another tangible reason to keep playing the game after sinking hundreds of hours logged in. But, fortunately, unlike in most MMO games, wealth will be acquired through killing other players, rather than fighting against AI controlled opponents. This means no tedious grinding or random loot rolls will be required.

We know there will be a resource system, and certain resources required to upgrade certain things. But we know nothing about "Player Wealth" or if you can build up resources and keep them for yourself etc.

Honest we don't know enough about the resource system for that particular paragraph to be an accurate statement.
