Curious where i can learn more about the topic since im unfamiliar with it

When you are in a player run corporation, you can place items up for sale on the market that only fellow corporation members can buy.  This moves much of the load of transactions on the market from public availability to private only.

Anything that can be sold, can be sold in this fashion - restricting items to only your fellow members.  So things like commodities and minerals, through T4 fittings are often bought and sold ONLY to and from fellow members of a corporation - why sell a gun to someone who may/will shoot you with it?  That's their logic.

The downside is that it removes all that stuff from the general market, making it look very lean and prices "open to the public" tend to be a lot higher than internal prices.  This can and does cripple up newer player's abilities to participate in a more competitive fashion.  It takes months to build up the ability to make many of the higher tier items and it is difficult to get some of the materials, as well as access to the kernels to learn how to make things.  Being as more senior players are in player corporations, they don't make nor sell much on the open market.

That's his point. 

"Over time" it may adjust but it will take time and many new gamers don't have much patience.  6 months working up to build what is in demand, I hit this in a convo in eve on the topic "either join or go without... thanks but I'm not into being forced to join groups I don't know anything about.  Maybe I'll try it later..."

Again, it is slowly being addressed but it will take time.
