Firstly the Known Issues link in the top post just bounces back to this thread for some reason.
Secondly, I don't know why effort is being put into somehow justifying the queue system since it was initially put to the players that it was only intended for the Chinese server, was removed from the test server and was never intended for TQ! Remove it already! Or the only honorable thing will be mass reimbursements of ships and gear for ships that should have been able to jump away from hostilities but could not because the server refused to allow the jump for whatever reason. That's random loss due to the game (not the player) and cause for reimbursement.
Reimburse every loss or remove the queues, seem the only real choices here. Or limit the queues to hub hi sec systems like Jita.
Thirdly, I don't fly covops but I can understand the anger here.
As for bookmark copying, I can't think of a lot of times I've needed to copy more than a handful, even if you wanted to pass along a bunch, it's something to do while cruising around on autopilot. I don't trust escrow sales enough to plunk down that much isk for something that only shows up under inspect items as "bookmark, bookmark, bookmark, bookmark...."
The server load of a bm use can't possible be measurable compared to the rest of the datastream. All 22,000 people logged in aren't all using bookmarks every minute they are logged on. Plus, all the bm is asking is, "what were those 3 numbers in x, y, z again?" and you compare that to approaching a busy gate....where the server is hurling barrel-loads of data about every ship and drone and changes in their position and speed and whether they are repping or warping or doing the cha-cha...heaps of data constantly. Using a bm asks for a handful of numbers once. Yeah I'm not a CCP programmer but the claims that bms are such a burden don't pass the sniff test to me.
Bm exploits, lag bombs, yeah the limit on copying is a good idea IMO. Not everyone needs g2g of every region in eve and that will limit it.
