Over last 6 month was not happy with the way markets and production behaves. With level 4/4 in brakers fees i still pay arround 4% of total value to adjust order pricing , meaning in 2 adjustments or so i loose all profit. Because of that i am considering quitting marketing and production aspect of the EVE online , and maybe stick with just raw resource harvesting and selling which is not totally ruined by brokers fees. Tried a lot of things but even rigging and t2 production was at high risk to me because one month ingredients went up 10-15 % after me building something in a major hub for just few month… sad day for my industrial character , i will update his mining all items to 5 and all ore processing to 4 and probably he will have to be vendored at the char bazzar…

kinda of upset about looking for suggestions

Production always was a long term game rewarding diamond hands when selling, or arranging sales via contracts. The moment you sniff someone is dumping, it’s better to not touch that market tbh. Lot of people will also consider it “fun”, and therefore dgaf if they even make any profit.. can’t compete with that if you don’t have tons of alts and lot of isk you’re willing to idle. Alternatively, train all your industry alts into catalysts, so you have something to do while the market settles, it’s not like they need positive sec status to queue up invention 😉

edit as it slipped: you may also consider joining bigger production chain/corps where the sales part is handled differently - like, big bloc having internal orders for doctrines etc, where you do not have to compete with every sale.
