Jita became THE market hub because the superhighway gates to Yulai were removed.
There will always be ONE central hub. It can be Jita, it can be somewhere else. But the market demands it.

Edited by: Pirokobo on 19/03/2011 02:31:06 Amaroq you can think of it like the futures markets. Jita is the NYMEX. Amarr/Tash-Murkon, Oursalert, and Rens are like the MGEX, KCBoT, and CBoT.
The market system will naturally create hubs. One central hub, and several distributed regional hubs. This arrangement is not strictly out of convenience but rather an emergent architectural feature of virtually all trading systems. If you remove the central market, another will emerge, simply because the market has participants who will travel to the busiest market to receive the best price.

Originally by: Alsyth Increase taxes, broker fees, etc.
If CCP does things to Jita, everyone will fly their stuff to New Caldari, Niyabainen, Perimeter, and Urlen, distributing the amount of stuff being sold from one system into five.
If prices haven't dropped sufficiently at that point, then the market would migrate into The Citadel, which sits directly between Domain (Amarr) and The Forge (Jita), and expand to fill stations as needed based on price pressure.
The Citadel REGION index would replace the Jita SYSTEM index as the central market of the EVE economy, due to the availability of stations and proximity to two previous hub systems.

Originally by: Alsyth And I think it would greatly improve secondary hubs in other regions: people who nowadays make a trip to Jita every week or so to sell their stuff when they live near Dodixie, Rens, Amarr, etc. will probably just sell it in the hub nearby instead of wandering in Citadel in their freighter to find the best price.
No no, no no no, you're not getting what I'm saying.
If CCP only does a focused, specific nerf against Jita alone, it will change nothing the Jita market will move into one of the immediate neighbor systems around Jita.
If they do taxes and stuff then it will hurt every hub and the hub will become the Citadel because people will want to get onto the central market index without having to overcrowd one station and thus incur fees. But the only way CCP will kill hubs entirely is to eliminate regional markets and make the market system universe-wide.

Originally by: Alsyth Would be a lot better RP-wise in my opinion.
So you are proposing that we roleplay an economy that defies the natural, emergent behavior of economies; behavior that stems from real psychological factors influencing the market actors?
Why would we do dat?

Originally by: Alsyth In real life broker fees and other taxes are driven by natural behaviours
No, on the contrary those are the only things which are fixed in a market and driven by policy rather then by the choices of the actors.
Nowhere in your :words: have you proposed an actual fix you've just given the vague impression that you're butthurt over how things are. I'm guessing you're either tired of getting suicided or tired of having to fly back and forth from whatever hovel you've chosen to squat in because nobody buys in your backwater region.
