Oddly enough what happened was the build cost jumped by about 15b postcrius. I anticipated that with my elite patch note reading skills and therefore put some extra into build precrius to sell postcrius at postcrius build cost. I subsequently ended up in an argument on teamspeak along the lines of "well yeah, your price now is pretty much the same as anyone else's because you're doing it at build cost now but the thing is you paid build cost back then so by what right can you charge build cost now just because you invested a few hundred bil back when you read patch notes and I didn't".

It's weird that in modern Western capitalist civilization, people still hold onto the idea that the price of an item is constructed solely from the cost to produce it.

You must subsume to the will of the Alliance/Corporation. You will be online, in fleet, when they say so. Your so-called real life is a farce. Absolute dedication is required.

I'll take "pharmaceutical companies are evil" for $1000, alex
Honestly its more like developing new medicines is absurdly expensive and probably costs more than they can afford from standard profit margins to develop. So now they only have a few markets where they can still mark up prices at all, so those regions get turbo fucker so that they can keep their profits and develop new medicine.

Yeah I bet there's all these complicated altruistic motivations at work. /s
The price of an item is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. When you take that rule and apply it to a large system, you get the demand structure on which every market is based. X people are willing to pay Y for your product. C people are willing to pay D for your product. Is X * Y bigger or C * D bigger? There isn't a single large market that doesn't conform to this. There is no altruism or malice or any other kind of individualistic motivation. It's a machine optimized to run efficiently under a certain ruleset.
