The fact that the players have an advantage is fine and balanced, but the amount of advantage 20x more advantage is not balanced. 
in most games +100% damage pick up is a strong advantage + 2000% damage pickup would not be so balanced :].
Good thing EVE isn’t “most games”.

Yip lucky for test it isn’t :].
I don’t even know what you’re trying to imply there, tbh.
Test’s monopoly over a high sec trading station with 0.1% tax has an insanely huge advantage over the usual 2% tax in jita 4 4, Normal station trading was even nerfed to make citadel trading more appealing, citadels have made eve worse in quite a lot of ways from trading to protecting null bear’s to making solo pvp 100X harder with point/web/neut death from any citadel.
You keep saying “monopoly” but don’t know what it means, lmao.
All i’m hearing is “wahh waahhh”

That is because of your lack of information and experience, you will understand in time.
I understand that you don’t know what the word “monopoly” means, lmao.
The exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.
Test hold’s the only valid Trading Citadel close to Jita “Exclusive” and trading is the “Service”, not sure whats so hard for you to understand.
But hey you are a Testi cle so yea not surprised your derailing the thread so hard.
even though any citadel can be placed in hisec , without starbase charters and all that nonsense which was part of the pos debacle,they should not be allowed to tax evade concord’s minimum cut on trading in hisec. that is the only solution to balancing the field

Hi won’t. He is from TEST. Like to be part of Monopoly not from the oder side.
He think’s that because anyone can destroy the Citadel that it isn’t a true monopoly but he is forgetting that it remains a monopoly up until that point that it is destroyed or another Citadel is Constructed in the same area where the buyers would have enough faith that it’ll last long enough for them to trade there, which is just not going to happen anytime soon.
Maybe when the Chinese grow stronger than all other factions but that’s at least awhile away.
Do you know how is in the Chinese server? One Alliance own everything. All sov, all citadels, all WH. There is no pvp at all. That’s why they start to move here. Hope this server won’t follows the same example. But is on the way. Big Alliances stop fight each other and start to play all in there corners. The market is so profitable to have it. Why no one from other alliances put there own Keepstar? Just TEST bay them and all is fine…
Goon’s attacked PanFam recently, there is movement but no one is willing to trade blows, way too much to loose.
Also the chinese are getting strong look at dotlan it will be very interesting in just a few months.
At the end of the day, it’s still not a monopoly. 
I can understand why you say it’s not but if you had to give 1 exact reason why its not what would you say.
I went to a market hub in the region that wasnt that one and wasnt prevented from it.
If you dont want to trade with an entity, you have plenty of choice.

The one reason is that it’s not exclusive. There are a bunch of other citadels, some with 0.0% taxes that you can use.
There you go, not a monopoly.

Must be new have not seen any Citadel like this although I am red and hunted in caldari space so can’t go see, so I will take your word for it, it was not like that a little while ago and it might not last very long.
Dont take his word for it There are not citadels with 0.0 tax even with 0.1 tax at the moment. If some one put market in the region they have pet Azbel and put it to 0.0 tax for the time other player market die. To be sure no one else can make isk. After the Market is killed the pet Azbel go up to 0.3% or more like there main market. So is pointless to put market.
