Idea for the next expansion

I think the next expansion should be called "BOOST JITA"

Saturday evening, prime game time, and hey what do I get when I get to the New Caldari to Jita gate and try and jump through?

"Jump Prohibited, Officials have closed the stargates in jita due to heavy congestion. Travelers are advised to seek alternate routes."

There's 2,300 ish in local when I do get in.

So, the plan.

Mute local, you can see who's there, but nobody can type anything in local, so that would eliminate most of the "Double your isk" etc, or have a chat tax for jita.

When you undock from Jita IV-4 CNAP if you don't make an effort to move in the first 10 seconds, you get instawarped 10,000km away in a random direction, (I know that would be unpopular with the gankers Cry )
Alternatively, the station guns and some new "Congestion Police" could start taking pot shots and lingerers on the undocking ramp to *encourage* you to move you're bum arse out of the way, afterall, if you were one of the police, and somebody was stopping you getting to your doughnut shop you'd be pretty peeved wouldn't you? Twisted

I know it's on a big node, and there's probably not much hardware wise they could do to it, so some software improvements might be in order.

Randomly push docked players out of an airlock.

When the number climbs to 2000 can one then see a (previously unnoticed) hangar door opening with hundreds of corpses floating out into space.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.
