Nah. I don't like the Blue Donut no less than anyone else around here but this wouldn't be the proper deal, imo. While they shouldn't reward them for kicking everyone out of Molden Heath, they shouldn't punish them for being as greedy as they are without actually abusing the system(The system was crap and promoted Blue Donuts. They can only be held to so much responsibility).
I would say open up another region or two and add in the need for capsuleers to move warbarges around with customizable contracts, give us more infrastructure types for PC, customizable installations, and other elements to stimulate the spending of ISK.
It's also to my belief that the need for capsuleers to move around warbarges and clones would mean that an increase in pirating/ransoming will occur in Molden Heath and the other regions. What does that mean? Mega Corporations will probably have to spend a good amount of ISK on extortion fees to keep pirates out of their hair and prevent potential losses. Not only that but it allows EVE to have some purpose in Dust. If you can't take them out on the ground, you can prevent them from coming over or you can hire your own navy enforcers. It won't be as simple as pressing X and waiting for the loading to finish. I'd imagine that General Tso's, the alliance with the best EVE-side force in Molden Heath, would do enough damage to the Big Blue donut to make them lose a good chunk of their wallets.
Also the ISK tax for Dust to EVE transactions should help regulate the ISK flow considering that once the mega corporations are consistently spending ISK, they'll eventually have to establish lower prices which would eventually be better for smaller corporations.
Having other regions allows for new corporations to have access to districts without too much worry of the Blue Donut. If they have a lot more cost to deal with when it comes to handling an extreme amount of districts, they're not going to want to go into other regions until they know for sure they won't be going negative in ISK. If you make the regions very distant, it will definitely end up a harder task to conquer them. No way that someone can control that many regions right now in Dust that would allow for them to safely travel through without having to worry about losing ISK to pirates. The general distance and cost of a contract would probably be high too compared to just moving around one region.
tl;dr: If CCP makes it so that Dust corporations need to make contracts with EVE pilots to transport their warbarges and add in a region or two that has a lot of distance away from each other and Molden Heath, the issue of monopolization would die down. If CCP adds in the Dust to EVE tax as well as other elements of PC for us to spend on, the issue of inflation would die down.
