Eliminate the system-provided trade opportunities

Currently there are a number of system-provided trade imbalances that allow players to get a profit by transporting those items around to NPC buyers. They are items like: Consumer Electronics, Robotics, Guidance Systems, Planetary Vehicles.

Since these items are also used in PI, it messes up the PI market because these items exist in huge quantities due to the quest-trade mechanic.

I suggest eliminating the system-provided trade in these goods.

At one time, it made sense because new players needed an easy way to get into trading, but now the system is camped by experts so new players do not have much opportunity to utilize the system trade gifts, which was the original intention.

Also, feeding ISK to the small group of trade commodity campers causes unnecessary inflation and distorts the PI market.

Even if you don't want to get rid of the system trade buys/sells entirely, please stop doing it for the PI items.

There are no NPC orders for any of those items.

What kind of an idiot would flip POS fuel components to NPC buy orders instead of much, much higher player buy orders?

Even if said NPC buy orders existed?
