So I was flying around and decided to go to a system that I haven't been to in many many moons. Wasn't I surprised when I load up in system and right-click to go to the station when I see this..http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f91/Shaunessy/20120506082108.jpg

For those that never experianced WT15 this is only a small portion what your P&P and screen would look like if they ever removed WTZ. So once and for all let's drop the WTZ argument.

But WHAA!! How will I catch people in my gate camps if they can warp to 0! Time for me to claim that it will make EVE a better place!

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

It was a little bit and that isn't even the gate BMs and the station BMs. Plus that is only one system...

I have never experienced this but I am impressed by the effort that people put in to this game before you could zoom to 0

If you actually have those BMs I would be interested in buying them

That doesn't make sense. There are other ways to get rid of warp to zero and bookmarks. At the same time. You're acting like warp to zero wasn't a quick lazy fix. They could of just made it so no matter where you warp from or to, you get stuck at 15km, like a bubble does.

Simple, and i don't see how your post makes that idea invalid. I mean I'm open to the idea we shouldn't have warp to 15, but your reasoning isn't the counter argument anymore.

Long time ago a BM set for travelling to Fountain consisted of a can with 320 bookmarks in. Or was that for going to the top of the universe. I forget. Anyway I digress.

There was a thriving market for bookmarks. Which, of course needed checking before using because there were always a couple that put you 90-100km beyond the gate into a place that "could" have hostiles in.. (and frequently did) but the biggest bugbear was copying them.

One moment of lag or a dropped packet and 320 turned into 319 and the missing one was never obvious. And every member of the fleet needed their own copies.. and they had to have backups..

Ugh

and considering how a single BM is stressful for the game's DB, then one will start to imagine how lag-inducing this was.

Not really because when they added WTZ they removed all the station and gate BMs.

also soul and server crushing lag that caused

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

All you need is to increase the landing zone sphere's radius from 2500 m to 15 km. Warping anywhere but "at 0 on target" could possibly make you land that much further. No bookmark would solve this.

The cool thing about this idea is you can now make certain ships/introduce new mods that decrease said radius so ships meant for fast travel can do so.
