What the title says. No agent quality = less congestion in systems. If every lvl 3 or lvl 4 agent is the same, not everyone will be in the few areas with Quality 20 agents. It will have even more effect when the across-corp LP store is added this summer.

Agreed. It's been okay, but I'd say that abolition of agent quality should be among the changes in the revamp.

get rig of quality but increase then the difference for doing missions that send you into lowsec then stay in highsec.

That sounds like a good idea, too.

Agent Quality is a cause of system blobage.
Moving the agents around ever other patch only moves the ploblem to a new system.

End agent quality. There are skills that increase payoff etc. And as mentioned above- with more mission levels, quality won't matter as much anyway.

or make quality related to system security and whether the agent will send you into low-sec.

I'm not in favor of such "Vanilla" game play. I'd be more in favor of putting the best Agents in lowsec, Risk vs. Reward.
Honestly, if you find the lag so bad, go to a lower quality agent in a different system. That is an option.
The only system I find that is lag death is Jita and I only pass thru there when I have too, rarely stop to look at the staions when I'm trying to dock.

Then remove agent quality, but increase the reward bonus for low-sec missions.
The negotiation and contact skills can do all the work. Just tweak them so that people with maxed skills will make the same now as they did before losing Q20 agents. Plus, having all the same quality will move down standing reqs and make room for lvl 5-7 at the top of the standings scale.

That won't fix the lag, folks will simply bunch up around the best high sec guy they can and the same problem will be there again.
Removal of quality will let people spread out. Use system sec as the modifier for rewards, a 0.1 system should pay a significant amount more than a 0.9 system.
I'd say get rid of agent levels as well. A player could go to any agent of the NPC corp. If the player has standings for a lvl 4, then he can request a lvl 4, if he's feeling lazy that day he can request a lvl 1. Someone with out standings for a lvl 4 could not get a lvl 4 from that agent.
This would spread players out, allow corps to be more centralized and spread out some of the market hubs that tend to grow up around lvl 4 mission areas.
