You don't need that for it to be a sandbox. It's just a word used to describe an open game where you can do whatever you want within the rules of it. There's no player driven market in Conan Exiles, but it's still a sandbox. You're given things to play with in whatever way you want and you do, that's it.

Right credits serve no purpose but to unlock your ship, we could transform credits into flour or biowaste and it wouldn't make them any more valuable.
Fixed it for you mate

Conan Exile is a survival theme park massively open-world multiplayer game like rust, ark or 7 days to die.
None of these games have a player driven economy or a currency outside of the game with real life value.
Even the devs don't agree with you and they don't list the game as a sandbox. You two nuggets can argue all night if you want it won't change that fact. CCP literally cornered the true sandbox genre back in the early 90's as we know today, so you can go ask them what they think of Elite because a few fanfest ago they didn't agree with your definition.

Yep, all sandboxes to play with toys you are given in the way you choose. Player driven economy does not define a sandbox.
dont bother arguing with the bloke, if he can't pay to win he's unhappy apparently
weird, i transform credits into biowaste and they in turn, transform into even greater amounts of credits. why? supply and demand methinks
its a pity you chose to choose eve to argue with as its definitely a pay to win scheme, sure it can pay back as well, by then you've already sunken in 1500 dollars at least. so do please, try again

Name me 1 multiplayer true sandbox in the same genre as Elite Dangerous without a player driven economy. There's virtually none on the market right now.

We already established Conan Exile is not a sandbox, even the devs have said so :
You can also ask Joel Bylos the creative director of Conan Exile, he would disagree with you. He specifically said on live stream during early access multiple times that Conan Exile is not a sandbox.

Okay
I wonder if maybe it's because Steam doesn't have Sandbox listed as a genre, perhaps Sandbox is a tag that is inserted by the community and not the developer. Idk, I've only been using Steam for 14 years... I could be wrong.
I also wonder about games that have sandbox in their name, I suppose they aren't sandboxes either. It's almost like it's just semantics in the first place and you can probably call it whatever you want.

Okay scroll up a bit and buy glasses while you are it:
also do you see sandbox in there because I don't it says open-world, multiplayer and survival like I just said in my previous post.
You guys are quite the special type of kinder surprise, lol.

You're so predictable. It's funny though that Elite also has that user-defined tag. It really doesn't matter if a developer chooses to use the latest popular buzzwords in their descriptions or not, the word sandbox fits the game whether you want it to or not and again, player driven economy is not the definition of sandbox.
You can google it if you like and see what is more commonly thought of as sandbox gameplay.

Right but PC gamer isn't the developer m8.
Right! I had a screenshot ready because I knew you we're going to pull a fast one, funny how I was ready to destroy your terrible argument, sick game isn't it!
Exactly! because Elite is not a sandbox, it's a theme park open world game:

they figured people had the sense to know better, guess in your case, thats a nope
Destroy what? Sandbox is also a user-defined tag for Elite Dangerous and if you read the 'about this game' section, it does a very good job of describing an open world sandbox game. It's cute that you think an argument of semantics is a worthy battle to 'destroy' in though.

No it doesn't actually, you are quite wrong:
It does says it's an open world theme park game though.
It's cute to see you can't read.
