Faction warfare will be seriosly changed. Instead of 2 vs 2 it will become 4 vs 4. So I believe some systems between Amarr and Caldari and between Gallente and Minmatar will switch to be FW war zones. Jita is so close to Gallente Border Zone constallation, that it is quite simple to include Jita into new low sec faction warfare zone.

Both Gallente Border Zone constallation and Kimotoro (where Jita is placed) can become new FW zones and that will effectively blow Jita as "one hub to rule them all". Simple , effective, not breaking any game mechanics and ridiculously strong kick to the game PVP activity, cause moving all that stuff out will make gankers so happy...

I believe many traders will move to Amarr, but Caldari will still want their own trade hub and it will be opportunity for some stronger alliance to establish trade hub in citadel not far away from Jita. So traders will be tempted to move their stuff only few jumps to, let say, Sirppala, instead of moving all way to Amarr.

That eventuel new citadel trade hub would become object of highly organised PvP activity (both attacking and defending), which will bring more interesting PVP action into high sec.

I dunno man, I think not. But you are right: Spontaneously turning hubs into fw lowsec is ridiculous. Would support it for funsies but I think it's gate and station camped enough.

Come get some cancer @ my blog !

theres already people out that want to turn all of the borders in to low sec so they can be camped and make the local hubs more popular.

I used to run some trades to provide cheaper items at other markets but the whole

CCP: there needs to be more chaos
Players: your right, every one lets kill the carebears that provide our things for blowing things up

just last week running a shipment in my instawarp orca, I ran into numerous gank camps in .7 to .9 space resulting in hiding where I couldn't be tracked

The reason for jita was a former hub was actually destroyed and it was since moved

turning jita to low sec wont help nor make sense or cause support at any of the 3 other hubs, the main hub will simply just move again
