That would most likely be a post scarity ecconomy,
what removes a lot of reasons for conflicts.
Nah, people will always find reason to quarrel.
Sure it will not remove all quarrels. But lots of conflics, especially
thoose easy to put into an RPG plot, where you pick a side and fight the
other, are connected to fight to for a limited resource. With that
resource becoming limitless, either the conflict eventually disapeares, or
the conflict was not actually about the resource at all but that was just
an excuse, and new reasons for continuing the conflict need to be found.
And the reasons, why people take part in conflicts will change. In a post
scarity ecconomy, you will have little reason for people to become
mercenaries.
There is no easy answer, what types of conflict are more common, but
either they are gone, or you have a non trivial challange, to come up with
how the conflict is communicated and what the motivations and
rationalisations of the combatants are.
It also is worth to note that even some soap opera conflicts and plots
have monetary components. Marriage for money, or the accusation of it.
Buying someones affections.
I am not saying there will be no conflicts and plots. But it is not a
trivial matter, to come up with some, that are not inconsistent with a
"poof it happens" background.
