I read the entire thread. The ability of your average Jita trader to ignore facts (including statements from a CCP dev who actually works with the game) and misunderstand basic economics is truly amazing. Nobody thinks they are the problem, because they are just one person.

Well, you are the problem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

This is some serious entitlement here. Go somewhere else.

Actually, if it were possible CCP should just remove the cap from Jita so that TiDi goes into full swing there and you get to experience your dream world of an always open Jita. It might take 5 hours for your newly purchased ship to be delivered, but you saved 0.01 isk so that's good. Imagine being under maximum TiDi, forever.


Actually, this also might encourage the development of other markets.

"Who cares if you can get everything there, if it involves soul crushing TiDi? I'm going to shop at XXXXX instead."

The down-side is that those it effects will only see the problem and view the game as broken (because they have to fly through 30 minutes of Spam in local to dock, or wonder why no one is coming to buy their goods).

Might be fun for CCP to try it as an experiment (announce it in advance as a test, and leave it on for a weekend of something).
After four days, turn the cap back on and run a thread for feedback.
