That’s correct.
Additionally, Citadels/POS cannot be deployed in shattered wormholes, nor Thera.
Citadels can’t be deployed in New Player Starter Systems or Career Agent Systems, though I’m not certain if that same restriction applies to POS (though I think it does).
The rules, not specific to only Jita, are here:
You are both wrong. Only Jita has this restriction, unique in EVE.
The removal of agents and manufacturing capacity happened after Jita became a trade hub, as did the unique restriction on placing POS/Citadels there.
Read the link Salvos. You are incorrect.
March 1st. Ok, CCP has extended this to Amarr at least.
This meana Jita is no longer unique, but raises questions what is considered a “trade hub” by CCP.
Wrong again. Keep going. You are on a roll.
The source is last updated March 1st.
Amaar has a grandfathered capital. If the rule only dated from ten days ago, there’d be a swarm of grandfathered Upwell Structures in those systems.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen an Upwell Structure in Dodixie, either, but I’m not in the mood to log in, and fly over there, just to verify for this thread.
I’m not sure, but I think there are 4, maybe 5, Official, (or maybe that’s “Official”), tradehubs of which Jita is the largest.
The these rules are pretty much irrelevant to trade hubs emerging, but are a result of trade hubs emerging.
Pretty sure this was true from the initial deployment of citadels.
That does not tell us when the source was created.
They are not irrelevant, as they prevent players from placing Citadels there.
You completely missed the point of my quote. I was talking about the emergence of trade hubs. Yes, these rules do not matter. These systems were trade hubs before these rules came into existence. Thus these rules had nothing to do with Jita, Amarr, etc. emerging as trade hubs.
You can argue all you want on this, but you are quite simply wrong and pretty much everyone can see it.
And you have missed mine.
The restrictions prevent players from placing Citadels there, and are all but irrelevant.
If anything that should help facilitate the emergence of new trade hubs.
Which has not occurred, nor reduced the megalithic trade in Jita.
Yet. “Never” and “not yet” are not exactly the same thing.
And so what? Trade hubs are a result of emergence–i.e. player behavior.
Yeah, except that a signficant chunk of the extractor, injector and PLEX markets have moved to Perimeter…
You know what? I can’t. I have too much caffeine in my system to see the world through your eyes.
Please. Step away. Go hide under twenty pounds of blankets for half an hour and come back with a fresh mind.
No, right now Jita enjoys a snowball effect. A new tradehub would require someone taking action to remove Jita as a tradehub, and even then, probably only one winner would shake out. As it is, the neighboring systems have picked up a little trade from Jita because they can have Citadels, and do.
I don’t know what it would take to PREVENT a single tradehub from developing. Something draconian on CCP’s part, I suspect.
Edit to say, something draconian could easily reduce this game to a single empire. If, say, CCP required you to trade in your own empires space, pretty much all newly rolled characters, or at least all trade characters, would be Caldari.
Edit2. Spelling.
Edit3, on March 14, for content, sorta. P.S. If the other comment, By @Salvos_Rhoska, should be blocked, certainly this one is worse. I’m leaving the offensive lines in for context.
Stopped reading right there, and even that wasnt worth it.
And would it be “good”? I really don’t know. Having to source things from different regions…ughhh…
“Good” is subjective. If you have a mom-and-pop storefront on Main Street, Anywhere, USA, Wal-Mart moving in is decidedly not good. If you want one stop shopping, however, you find yourself visiting Wal-Mart to the exclusion of everywhere else.
The fact that Jita has resulted in a flattening of prices is good, or bad, depending on what you’re doing, too.
These specific “trade hubs” are not a result of player behavior, they are a result of CCP dictation, and with special conditions.
Ill have to research back to when these changes where implemented.
I was wrong that only Jita had this restriction, but I dont know when it was implemented there, or at other designated “trade hubs”.
So what. As you so much like to claim, go do your homework.
The restriction on all those systems has been in place since Citadels were released and for POS, restrictions have been in place longer.
