The market tools need to be improved. I would love to see something like the EVE Metrics web site was. There is a clear need for good market information beyond what is offered now. I use the fact that there are or have been multiple web sites to cover the lower quality of information in-game. Sites like EVE Central, EVE Market, EVE Metrics and so on have existed for years. This doesn't break immersion since it reflects real life. In RL there are tools like Morningstar ans publications like Wall Street Journal. Market pvp is constant pvp.

Also, for future WIS concideration, I would like to visit the big stock markets in the trade hubs. Walk out onto the trading floors.

What would be useful is a site that conveniently lists the current jita buy and sell order for a item. I tried some sites but they always give screwy data measured from all around the universe when I want 'the hub' with no goofy over priced scam orders or 0.1 isk buy orders influencing the real price. Real current orders, real price.

Failing this I usually have a alt on the ready.

What was nice about some of the tools people made was that you could look at current market activity in various regions. I did a lot of business outside of Jita. I was able to look research market activity on items I was looking to manufacture just as real businesses do. The lack of such a functional system is part of why (other than pure convenience) places like Jita have so much traffic. There are other good markets that are barely tapped simply because people can't find them.

EVE Metrics, how I miss ya....
