Apparently there is a fluctuating cap in Jita that seems to shift between 2000, 2170, and 2280 players. This cap has always been in place, it's just been higher sometimes in the past. Due to recent performance issues, it has lowered, and this is causing lineups.

It is my suggestion that this be used to keep people out by moving an alt from each account and leaving them there logged in when you are not doing something more important in EVE: sleep, work, rl, afk cloaking. This ought to add to the drama quite nicely.

Jita is an ugly place.

The real truth is that the gates have stopped working from being poked with a ten foot pole too many times.

Fairly sure I saw just over 2100 logged in there last night during peak time, so if there is a cap then it's not a hard cap or the local number is giving the wrong count.
I guess the next step might be they start disconnecting people for inactivity there after X amount of time, but that probably wouldn't do much - you could just use the captains quarters and keep walking into a wall to not be afk. Lol

The last time I was there (a few days ago) the cap seemed to be 2280. The highest I remember it was 2700. Not sure why they tuned it down; my guess is too many people crashing after the Retribution patch.

I support this for no real reason.

So you want to annoy people while not actively playing the game? Just because you wanna be a prick? Sounds pretty stupid to me.

Imo CCP should log out afk character from Jita, if people start doing this en masse.

Fixed for accuracy. You're welcome, Junior.

I demand a "remote stacking"-feature.

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

Amarr and Dodixie are much much nicer than Jita.

Clearly. Roll

Just because afk cloakers exist, doesn't mean more people should start annoying their fellow players while not playing the game.

I can confirm that the Jita node has been moved to a nuclear test site as the plan is to fill it with spam bots and then observe it for possible emergent AI under these conditions. Should that happen, the node is scheduled to be nuked from orbit, just to make sure. No one wants a AI based on scam spam bots.

Jita? Who actually goes to Jita? There's also Rens, Dodixie, or a hundred other local places. Think outside the box people. Jita is just something I look up on market search websites so I know how badly people are getting ripped off shopping there instead of elsewhere.

It's emergent game play. If you don't like it, figure out some way to deal with it. I personally want to see Jita inaccessable and all traders left with all their wares and no one to buy them.

Also it is not very sand boxy if I can't go where I want when I want because of hard ware issues. Breaks the single shard idea because Jita becomes seperated from the rest of New Eden even if just a little bit.

How is this disproportionately large or unreasonable?

It's not emergent game play, if you do it afk. It's no game play then. Waiting on a gate is also not emergent. I've tried it. It's just annoying.

So you say that it's not sandboxy to be able to go where you please because of hardware limits, yet you advertise to push the hardware so that exactly this happens. Makes perfect sense.
