The number of pilots in Jita just seems to go up up up.. maybe CCP should create a new market skill that allows people to increase the number of regions away they can view. Then maybe people wouldn't have to log into Jita every time they want to check a price...
Sorry if this has been proposed before.. it just seems like a good idea. What is the reason for limiting us to one region.. especially if the next region is 1 jump away? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [GNSTR]

1) My guess is that should your joy at this feature having been implemented would quickly be replaced by emorage when the sudden ease with which you could view regional differences leads to vastly less profitable inter-regional trading. I think the current difficulty in, most efficiently, having an alt stationed in the region you're checking, is a good level to mean it's very difficult for one person to have a lot of control.
2) Why does your alt need to be in Jita to check Jita?

Sure.. Why not? [/sarcasm]
A lot of people live off the fact that people are unable to be everywhere at once. Both in EVE and in RL...

I would venture to guess that having regional markets work the way they do now vastly reduces database load. If they were to change that they would have to increase DB performance which is expensive, and there's just too many people who are fine with the current regional market setup to consider the additional cost.

Not being able to check prices against any other region at any time is a central game mechanic to the Eve economy, and done for some very specific reasons.

Learn to use alts.
You can check more than 1 region very very quickly with just 1 alt if you put it in the right places.

I dislike the use of Alts so I fly a Claw, speed fit.
All Overdrives in the lows. 1 mn mwd if I feel like toggling while Autopilot flies, cap rechargers in the rest of the mids. High = 4 salvager II's - Never pass up any gate snacks that cross your path. I can afk check so many regions in a short time that I'm aghast that others don't.
Firetail makes a good second, imho, if you can't use interceptors.
PS: Each race has an interceptor with the same fitting arrangement of the Claw iirc, easy peasy pumpkin pie.
PPS: Depending on timing and the level of suicide gankage at any given moment I can easily make 1 - 5m in salvage just in passing.

I guess you guys are right.. it would make market trading too easy. Although, I think a lot of this market checking will move offline to websites that do it for you.

We can talk from any place in eve to another, but getting market charts is not possible without going to the region. We can do it with contracts though. miners-you can: switch, rob, wardec, nerf, scam them, buy below market, pirate them on their way to sell. mining < trading, ratting, manufacturing from market bought minerals,they still wont go away |

This is already a feature, you can access it through the yellow striped button in the lower left hand corner of your screen. No need to thank me!

Why would you need to be IN Jita to check price there ? The Forge isnt just one system. |

that's ok if you mainly trade in adjacent regions or have lots of alts to spare.
Otherwise consider the following:
* create an alt, don't bother to train any skills * put him into your corp * rent one office in every region you want to check - select the stations by low office fees (ideally 10k/month), location & available station services don't matter to you. * pod yourself from office to office (5600 ISK fee and 2.5 minutes per jump iirc) * export market logs/cache in each region * profit

Edited by: clixoras on 03/04/2010 09:55:08 You got to see it on a brighter note. In the current system, a certain region can be a black box. It can be a challenge to go to a new system, study it, and conquer it. With the crazy fluctuations of markets in Eve, it can be a pleasant surprise on a day to see one items crashing in one market and directly profiting of it.
If we would have information of ALL regions than basically we would get one market. Where would be the fun of THAT?

We can get information from other regions, we can convo each other anywhere in New Eden, we can check contracts from every region so basically I can't see any reason why this shouldn't be enabled.
I say yes.
If you could see all regions, you still need to have patience and solid goal to be successfull trader. Or one hell of a market bot.

so all price drop down to the jita dumping price?
no, thank you. regional markets are what keep production profitable.

so...you all suggest an alt to get around the in game limitation instead of just change the mechanics to suit the player. Personally only reason I am against it is if it adds to lag.
