A cabal of traders could have sought to concentrate all throughput in a station where they had some marginal advantages. Slight changes in local population movement patterns in the early days of the game could have made large changes. What was the original reason that Jita became the main hub? Is it something like that in the early days of Eve, most people chose Caldari as their race, and their starting location was near or in Jita? Feedback mechanisms existed and there are few dampening forces so while there may have been factors that favored the probability of Jita getting ahead far enough in feedback to come to dominate, ultimately it is chaos, a system very sensitive to initial conditions. Perhaps long term buy orders can benefit in areas far from Jita since many people cant be assed to haul their stuff to jita to sell. Of course I could missing one thing and that is buy orders. This could be a problem for the game in general if most of the traffic in eve concentrates in the Jita area while the rest of space (mostly highsec and lowsec) becomes more sparsely populated. These activities are not concentrated enough in the other trade hubs (or former trade hubs). Jita still offers the best supply chains for research and manufacturing especially now that you have alternatives to Jita 4-4, but 4-4 is still 'neutral ground' for trading most things - it is a quintessential positive feedback loop. Well.that's the crux of the problem then isn't it? Unlike before citadels everywhere but Jita there is now competition on which ones to use, and now for manufacturing and research as well as trade. Everyone and their dog thinks they will be the new Citadel in highsec, but the reality is that you're waiting for a chaotic accretion and the only way onto the map will be hiring a legion of people to run around and place cans and shout about you in local. THE LIBERAL AGENDA ratchets forward with smooth progress, glibly pronounced. I see about 4 open trade fortizars in Hek but there is still no growth there.as far as I can tell.
