When listing orders is free the market is overrun with market bots, as it used to be.
But I already had a long discussion about this with Bakster Kane, before he got muted and made a new forum alt.

What is a market bot?
I guess the lack of market bots is why it’s hard to find things outside Jita.
Another benefit of dynamic taxation would be that once other market hubs establish/reestablish themselves, there’s a chance we’d see Jita-style station overhauls for Gallente, Minmatar, and Amarr-style stations also. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t enjoy watching a game of brinkmanship between the Caldari and the Gallente in renovating Jita and Dodixie to be the ultimate cyberpunk space city, or the Minmatar haphazardly strapping another station onto the side of Hek, or the Amarr turn the Emperor Family Academy into a capitol-cathedral worthy of the mightiest empire in the cluster.

Dynamic taxes via system cost index already exist, but they barely spread out trade or industry. And why is spreading them out even a goal?
What most people don’t understand (and would cry bloody murder about) is, that such a system would need to have strong motivators at the beginning to set a movement in motion and then needs a lot of patience to allow it to find a new equillibrium.
A self-regulating system that sets base-tax and base-fees based on the system’s share in the global economy for example would - at the start - lead to values where you would pay almost full-tax in Jita, a tiny tax in Amarr and Dodixie and the rest of EVE would be basically tax-free. While that would look “unfair” at the start, it would be the trigger for industrials and traders to actually give another hub a chance. So over time the share between the hubs turns away from 70-7-3-2-1 more towards 50-12-6-5-4 after a year. And given enough time even 37-20-15-10-10. Which would be a HUGE improvement for the global economy.
@Adada_Tuesday don’t bother answering, you are blocked. Feel free if you want to waste your time, but I won’t even read it. Just sayin’

Taxes should be equal across high-sec; otherwise it’s not a sandbox.
At the moment it costs the same to list and sell things in Jita, Hek, Dodixie and Amarr.
But the majority of trade is taking place in Jita.
This is strange because trade being spread out is better.
If any station exceeds 20% of MER trade value, its market—and those within 10 jumps—should shut down. That way no nearby stations can pass 20%, and players will surely love running around to multiple hubs to trade.
Or maybe just change the broker fee so it only applies if any of your order executes so that markets across new eden becomes better stocked again. Few.
The problem of your ‘sarcastic bad ideas’ is that they are indistinguishable from the rest you say, Adada.

@Gerard_Amatin Do you accept his unconditional surrender? 
Anyone want to see an @Uriel_the_Flame impression?
Won’t change a thing, you never gave the impression you listened to my arguments anyway!

Zero argument just trying to disguise the screeching. I too accept your unconditional surrender. 
Told ya.
A completely nonsensical statement that just tries to create the false impression there is support behind you. Illustrates how the image I’ve linked perfectly describes your behavior. Trying to hide behind nonsense lies in hopes nobody notices, but they all do regardless. You can not hide.
Edit: Oh and we all know you read these posts anyway because you can’t resist the urge. You just try to hide behind the lie of blocking others when you lost the argument and can’t handle the truth anymore.
