EVE General Discussion

We used to have highways. To Yulai. Didn't work well, killed off the bypassed systems.

Eliminate CONCORD in Jita, lower sec status to 0.0.

Every 30 minutes have station force everyone to undock.

Jita solved.

Add low sec with no stations between the four great empires is high sec. Presto.

I always liked this idea and it could also be tied to FW so that sec status depend on warzone control or some other objective making it possible to temporary establish safe travel in empire by "winning" the war.

Yes, the lazy people are the ones already buying their stuff in the other trade hubs. Enough people aren't lazy that they don't mind the slow-boat to Jita to get the best price.

This would be a fundamental change to the game. Some people are used to having EVE on for most of the day, for example using it as a glorified IRC channel, checking the chat every few hours or so. Another use is the infamous afk cloaker logged on 23.5/7, disrupting null sec ratting/mining operations. I am sure there are countless other uses, EVE is sometimes a lot about waiting for something to happen (for a fleet to assemble, etc.).

The only place where this is actually an issue is Jita.

That, and the apparent belief that it is somehow a "problem" that needs to be "fixed" in the first place.

If it were actually problematic to go to Jita, people would go elsewhere.

That's when devs get involved to relieve the situation, no different than what they're doing with ice mining.

The problem is so many go there CCP has to put a cap on entry to Jita. That's a problem to the point it affects system resources. They go there since there's a limit in how far players can trade (other games don't have distance limits).

Outside the box would be something like this:

Make Jita THE tradehub, allow people to asses Jita trades from where ever they are, meening that every one can buy/sell stuff in Jita 4-4 nomatter where they are in EVE.
( U still need to get your stuff in and out of Jita somehow.)

At first glance this would seem dumb, but it has some benefits.

1. I dont have to be in Jita to make a trade. (so my char and ship wount be there to increase lag)
2. If people dont have to be in Jita for a trade, then it wouldnt be so atractive for the scammers. (less people = less scammers = less people overall)
3. If people dont have to goto Jita to trade, they would be more likly to use Courier contracts, so that freight corp´s and solo freighter players will move more stuff in and out per shipload/ship, than if every player just moved what he/she need moved. (less ships in and out of Jita)

There might be more benefits to this, but with just these 3 there would be less people in Jita, and we can all still use it.


Note to self: If CCP do this i dont have to visit Jita ever again \o/

I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again.

Mute Jita Local = problem solved, the spammers will go, local will probably halve and people are happy, except CCP of course, depending on how many spambots are unique accounts instead of alts.

It is getting worse, I was down earlier this evening and was spamming jump on the new-caldari to jita gate to get in.

Yes it is a player created problem, yes I've got no doubt that CCP have done everything hardware they can to jita, biggest node, individual server etc, but I do wonder if they've reached the limit and are just waiting for people to start another trade hub to split the load, but that's unlikely, and it needs to be a shared trade hub since if suddenly people started selling everything in New Caldari instead of Jita 4-4 then the server that new caldari is on will face the same problems.

There has to be a software solution to the problem, be that CCP start introducing market restrictions as to what can be sold in jita and what can't (very unpopular for both buyers and sellers) to concord permacamping the undock ramp to 4-4 cnap and shooting everything that doesn't make a player controlled movement within 2 minutes of undocking, and putting an end to the ganking which again is unpopular.

Muting local would work, but it's using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but it seems fairly easy (not that I know anything about coding) to work out, compared to some other solutions.
