3. Remove all missions, mining, pvp in Jita. There is absolutely no reason for people to be pvp'ing or otherwise doing anything in Jita except trading. They can **** off and go elswhere, there are thousands and thousands of systems in EVE. If you must camp people in Jita, you can do so on the gates in the surrounding systems.
4. Allow remote buying and selling in surrounding systems.
Suggestion 3 is the sort of suggestion a person makes when they think their play style should be considered more important than everyone elses'. A system where you are immune from camping and PVP is just so... not Eve at all that it feels like the suggestion of someone who just doesn't understand what Eve is about. I say this as a person vastly more likely to be a victim of such things than a perpetrator. Don't turn this game into one where you're safe in town and then regular rules apply everywhere else. Also, it seems like this special immunity would only further entrench Jita as a place preferred by the risk averse. It is entirely too fundamental of a change to Eve to propose as a solution to a problem that individual players can circumvent using a variety of tools.
1. Trade elsewhere (I do so all the time).
2. Go at non-peak times.
3. Use tools available to see how busy it is.
4. Use a courier.
5. Do buying and selling of stock remotely (though selling requires you to stock Jita stores during non-peak times...)
6. Take the risk of sitting on a gate during a peak time.
I understand that none of those may be a dream solution for a particular trader, but Eve doesn't always make things easy. Sometimes you can't directly take the exact route you want to take to get something done. You have to come up with alternate solutions, get creative. Some of those obstacles are other players, or they may be game mechanics, or they could be hardware limitations. If there is a technical solution you could imagine it seems reasonable to offer it. If your solution to a small road bump in managing your Eve business is to propose a fundamental alteration of how risk and PVP works... I dunno. I could just never imagine requesting that, because I signed up for Eve Online over 7 years ago knowing full well some guy could blow me up for kicks whenever and where ever, and that is the way I like it.
