You're attempting to justify a system that is currently so lagged out on a weekend it takes time to even log alts into system. Something is wrong. Gankers on gates around Jita are currently exploiting a game issue. It has something to do with common sense and planning ahead, but the reality is that people play more on a weekend and the current Jita node simply cannot cope. Which is not their fault. If we can only play a limited game on a weekend, we should rightly question how things can be improved, and arguing that players need to sharpen up simply isn't fair.

The majority of our spare time typically falls at a weekend, and the market is most dynamic at the point.
Are you suggesting that the sensible player will not play on a weekend at the core trading hub of the game?
Why shouldn't we challenge CCP as to why the game we play is effectively broken to an unplayable degree at peak times? - |

no, he quite clearly states that the issue is getting stuck on a closed gate.
however instead of discussing it you all decided you'd come in to the thread and say "HRURDURRWORKINGASINTENDEDHURRDURR" or "HURRDOON'TGOTOJITADURRRR" instead of just saying "that's not a suitable solution to the issue".
basically instead of discussing an idea, you just came to **** on a forum poster. nice one guys. |

This makes the Jita gate more dangerous than a lowsec gate to die on, while you should be on the safest part beeing in 1.0 space.

I'm talking about Blockade Runners, Covert Ops, T3's.
That's not a suitable solution to the issue.

Stop thinking, then. It's leading you astray.
System cap is not a consequence of lag. It's a measure to prevent lag and TiDi.
Personally, I wish CCP would open the floodgates and let Jita sit at 10% TiDi all day, everyday, and on down into the real lag enjoyed by nullsec fights.

Because it's not broken. It's not unplayable.
Tippia can give a more accurate number but there are over 7000 systems in this game. The reason this one in particular is an issue is because people won't stop going there.
The other 6,999 systems get along just fine. You can jump in, jump out, jump in and shake it all about. Because THAT is what it's all about.

unless you warp instantly; you're stuck for an amount of time. anyone with half a brain needs but a few seconds to take advantage of that. an advantage that they wouldn't have if you'd have jumped though instead of being stuck with a silly pop up. |

Analogy:
Jita gate lock ~ Nullsec fight jump tunnel crash. Both happen for the same reason, server load. Both are not the fault of the player but the fault of an imperfect system.
CCP's stance is to not reimburse/fix the nullsec tunnel but only as a specific exception to the reimbursement rule: large nullsec fights are not reimbursed in general. Because this is a specific exception, and Jita gate should be open in a functioning system, the losses at the gate should IMHO be reimbursed for consistency.
Either that, or a rule should be written on not reimbursing stuff lost due to population locked jump gates.
In any case the logs should reveal everything needed to make the right call on reimbursement petitions. |

Prevention needs to happen a bit earlier than being stuck on the gate to be successful. |

that's kinda the cause of the issue, until you're at the gate you can't tell if it's going to let you in or not as the notification that it's closed only pops up when you're at the gate.... |

We already CAN improve the system. Stop going to Jita. If more people stop going to Jita, Jita will stop sucking, will stop being capped, will stop being locked.

well no, because that doesn't tell you if the gate is open or not. for example, the starmap numbers aren't even remotely accurate, people being sat on the gate because they couldn't jump is no indication if the gate is currently open or not, etc. |

if ccp just put jita on a better server with more hamsters jita will stop sucking, being capped, and being locked. people shouldn't have to avoid parts of the game because the game can't support it's population. |
