E.v.e. markets have reached a point of "maturity" wherein they are driven less by fundamentals and end-user demand, and more by the whims of whichever Marketeer decides to manipulate the price of a security for his own gain, with no intent of ever utilizing the product in question. Something I have recently come across in trading has been the use (whether in amounts, or prices) is the repetitive use of the number "4".
This is being used by the so-called "Jewbal" (not my word, just a cheeky name they came up for themselves since they're all Jewish irl) to aid in their herding of other market participants in or out of a market, and I believe the constant use of this specific number has it's roots in Kabbalistic Numerology (4 representing the generative force, or growth & fencundity). I would like to add the disclaimer that I am not biased against anyone's religious beliefs, but I have to take real issue with the use of subtle forces in a video game; this is a far cry from any of the usual definitions of "cheating" like botting or hacking, but it certainly gives some players an unfair advantage by virtue of being well-versed in esoteric knowledge that has nothing to do with E.v.e. |

I would politely request that you please refrain from belittling anyone's religious beliefs (and I'm sure the mods would as well); I'm just asking whether it is really within everyone's best interests for these kinds of things to be allowed in the game. |

Congratulations,
.2% of the world population is jewish and a sliver of that is playing EVE online. You have discovered the worlds smallest conspiracy.
In other news man bites dog.
You may have misinterpreted me, I'm certainly not suggesting any sort of 'conspiracy'; this is an open and readily ascertainable ingame practice that I take personal issue with, and wish to discuss. |

I have literally no idea what you're referring to; I've been a member for about a week now (finally got in  ) and have yet to encounter anything like that. |
