hey
Instead of having to click jump over and over and over again, any way you could queue the jump requests? So once my turn is up i will jump automatically.

no it probably has to do with the number of people in jita it has a node all to itself and a hard limit on how many people who are alowed in and yes this would be a good thing to have

I mean, people rarely just go "through" Jita. If you're gating in to Jita, you're going there for a reason, and you're just going to sit at the gate or login until it works anyway. May as well que the request.

Here's an interesting thought, how bout we..... the players...... build a new market trading hub? how bout we turn the forge into a market trading constellation?

We the players have that power and at the same time, MAN would it make things more interesting.

And don't tell me the BS, that most station traders will remain in Jita anyway, most of the stuff sold in Jite, comes from outside Jita, so it is FAR FAR FAR FAR FAR!!!!! from impossible.

also i'm pretty sure they added gates that make it so that unless you're going to jita then you never go through jita

nah....it be better to have this then spend the rest of your eve night sitting on the outbound to jita in jump range. Because well, that's the only way this will work. Hit system going in, get put on the list and wait in the jump range of the gate. Don't see ccp going meh...we'll let ole boy hover at a random p-m to jump on in later.

then they would whine about bored playeys bumping them all night. And I think its safe it assume this would happen.

They'd also whine about increased ganks as there'd be no mystery to gank ship placement. Everything you need to shoot is now in a set range of the outbound. Bring your shotguns to the barrell boys....we got some fish to shoot.


But seriously, you idea is on the right path. Said it before, say it again. take your wares, sell them for a good price like jita most times elsewhere and they will sell abit better most times. Tack on the ole its 10 jumps from jita so its now worth 10 mil more and less sales should not be a surprise. Unless I really need it, the buy can wait till I take the loot hauler to jita to do shopping runs. Which leads to....

try putting good buy orders up out of jita. Low ball the loot collectors and they will go to jita where by and large they get better isk for the quick sells to buy orders. then you have to go there to pick up the buy order fills. Put the decent price up in a mission system 7 jumps away and the mission runner is selling locally and you are picking up locally. It be win win for all really.

I like it. But not just for jita. Anytime you want to jump in any system you could get qeued. Needs a way to cancel it in case you decide to stay there for a moment

That's only partially true. It's a little known fact that Jita is on your toon's avoid list by default. Every single new character has Jita (and I believe only Jita) on their avoid list.

Just a little kludge that CCP put together...
