Please be more concise. You could have made your points above in two or three paragraphs, and I’m guessing you would have gotten even more responses to your proposal if your essay-length posts weren’t so tedious to parse. Also, if you want to respond to certain people, there’s no need for allusions (“some of you posters”). Just quote and respond, like so: > [@Auri\_Frostmaiden](#): > > The chat was busy again with players bashing how f###ed that Amarr-Jita route was. And… _why_ exactly? Because Jita is the only real trade hub in the game, and new players are told to go there to buy and sell stuff. If they rolled Amarr, that’s when they find out they’ve got to trek 50+ jumps to get to a real market (including through some heavily camped systems). If the empires were more separated, and it were no longer even relatively safe and easy to get to Jita, regional trade hubs would thrive out of necessity. So that new player would instead be told, “Oh, you’re X? Go to Y market, 5-15 jumps away in your local area of space.” > [@Auri\_Frostmaiden](#): > > On the Oz stream three years ago with a CCP economist guest, the new Amarr-Jita route was mentioned how it had made Amarr isolated from the other three empires and separated from game events. The Amarr economy was sustaining itself but yet both acknowledged many players were now just remaining in that Amarr empire, stagnate. That is what some of you players had just posted wanting all four empires to become isolated with longer routes between each other. EVE Online would quickly become a stagnating game. If every empire had some unique quality that gave players a reason to live there, then no region need stagnate. Right now, for the Caldari State, Jita is that unique quality. That’s the reason so many people choose to live there. The only quality the other empires have is “lack of crowding.” It’s presently a sad fact that the decision tree for “which race should I pick?” ends with the caveat, “…but Caldari have easy access to Jita.” > [@Auri\_Frostmaiden](#): > > That is what some of you had just posted here wanting more high-sec turned into low-sec systems and/or more PvP in this game. Speaking only for myself, the motivation for adding lowsec buffer regions between empires has nothing to do with “more PVP.” That may be a side-effect, but the core motivation is in breaking up the Jita monopoly. And point of fact, addressing the “we can’t cut off the newbies” argument, I’ve [previously suggested](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/high-sec-inter-empire-connections/448057) (in addtion to lowsec buffers) creating CONCORD-run “customs” systems between empires—special gates that tariff haulers but still allow non-haulers limited hisec routes between empires.
