It's just tooo laggy it's like the new Yulai (think thats the name, last time i played was years ago) hmmmmm. People say just don't go to Jita but i have to atm and it's just very annoying and unacceptable atm.
I would want a 2nd server but i doubt that'll happen so please just fix Jita.

Please explain to me how a second server with just Jita on it would work.

What's funny is that when people said "Fix the LAG" two years ago, Jita only had 300-400 people in it ... now that the lag has been fixed, even more come in until we have our current 600-1000 in the system. So the next time you complain about unacceptable lag, remember that it's your actions that are making it so. If we still had 300-400, it would be running fine.

There should be no Medical facilities in Jita and CONCORD should sit outside the undock port of station 4-4 with Smartbombs going for all their worth.

Easily I guess... if they move Jita alone to a separate server and remove it from the first, the first server wouldn't have problems with Jita anymore.

is a rather stupid thing to do cos it will just make the outside of 4-4 even more laggy plus it would really anoy a lot of people.

Jita isn't broken, it's the way real estate, economics, and population density is laid out in EVE.
We have how many available systems in this game?
And how much of the player base is spread beyond Jita?
What makes every other system in the game unappealing to merchants and buyers?
Part of it is travel time... Nobody wants to jump 10 times to collect 3 of the 8 guns they need, then travel another six to get the other 5, then 12 more jumps to get the armor repper...
Of course one could argue that if all the merchants in Jita would operate in local markets besides jita instead, you wouldn't need to travel 10 jumps for 3 guns, 6 for 5 more etc. more like 2-3 jumps at a time.
Short of removing stations from Jita altogether, there is no real way to fix this issue overnight.
CCP has to:
1: Create greater incentive to do business outside of Jita (hopefully in the form of increased returns through lower taxes and such).
2: Taxes for doing business of any kind (buying and selling) in a system like jita should be astronomical. RP reasons include more Concord presence to insure safety of innocents, more bureaucracy from greedy politicians and agents looking to cash in on business, station owners having population issues (high demand limited supply, raising prices). Some might complain about this, but it is realistic and sensible. This also creates a money sink.
3: Do not simply raise rental fees, raise sales tax! (see #2).
4: The tax system should scale in ANY system in eve based on market activity and population.
5: The tax system should be system wide, not just for one station, because all that will do is cause merchants to go to another station nearby in the same system to avoid the bill.
It should be possible for a merchant or corp to profit from these fluctuations in the cost of doing business, by being able to view the tax rate in each system, find one with low cost to do business, and set up shop. Potentially cornering the local market for a time...
Economic controls can work if applied at the root of the problem, but even this might not be enough.
If it's not, further tweaks could include:
Constellation Trade/Hubs:
I am all for LOCAL hubs, that is, trade hubs that service constellations, and maybe even those that service a region. It's not that I WANT to have to travel to ten different systems to buy 10 different items, it's that I don't want everyone in the bloody game to be in the same system as me... Though everyone in the constellation is fair. Even in the same region should be ok.
Jita's problem is it's a multi regional trade hub. If it just served the local region, the issue would be smaller.
Economically, CCP could designate 1 system per constellation as a trade hub, and have it have a lower base taxation rate with a slower rate of increase for population.
Travel and destination:
One of the biggest flaws with EVE is it's size and how hard it can be for even a team of developers to really have a handle on what goes on in all these systems, and find local fixes to local problems.
CCP needs to REALLY think and plan out how they want players to move around and where they want to go.
Indeed, it should be a major undertaking, not just a minor patch with a few gate alterations, but maybe a major phase of a big content expansion.
Spend time to make better use of each constellations real estate!
Create:
More localized variety in the form of systems in each constellation that have an attraction for players to use. Trade hubs being one, content in the form of agents, and complexes and such being another. Each constellation should have it's own local hotspots and flavor. Arguably these things are in EVE, but they are not capitalized upon.
Final thoughts:
If I had it to do my way, EVE would be 1/10 the size in terms of star systems, and each one would be much more open to exploration. Warp speed would be slashed by a factor of ten... making each system feel bigger and able to contain more.

Welcome to resource exploitation 101. This is the same thing that happens when a new road is built or an existing road expanded. The power you give the Jita system the more people will flock to it.

It's not really down to shoddy hardware. it's people cramming into the area until a balance of bareability/necessityhas reached it's limit. If Jita could hold twice as many people we would end up with twice as many in it. There are a lot of other mini hubs that could be used but most still just go to jita for the convenience, others who really hate the lag in Jita just use the mini hubs.

If I am not mistaken, and as some has allready hinted at, Jita cant be fixed.
Jita is a behavioral problem, and ccp arent ready to fix this. If you read through this thread you can clearly see this problem is all about logistics and economy. These two are suffering do to many minor problems.
The reason traders set up in Jita is because they know there are people, and people come because they know there is enough trade. So how do you move the trade?
There really is only one option I can see atm, that wont demand serious programming change. Make it easier for traders to try and create their own Jita. In order to do this they would need 2 things at least. They would need an easier and safer way to move things around. This could either be an Interbus system, or yet another increase in cargo hold volumes. (and/or nerfing freighter price big time) Second they would need the option to trade as many items as in Jita. So kind of back to unlimeted order numbers. They could then if they had enough cash buy stuff in Jita and ship it to their own new HUB. This would make the locals there supplied and they would not need to go to Jita. As I se this its the only simple solution, everything else will just be a mess of rules and features.
Limitation in orders was the main reason people needed to start concentrating trade in fewer places, the only solution then must be to reverse this.
Make the ordernumber skill 10 or 25 times curent level,, you will see the development rather quickly I believe.

I doubt if tax rate alterations would do anything because the market is already well established and the taxes are negligible anyway.
at this point, the only thing that could kill Jita would be another major route overhaul like the one that killed Yulai, and then another super-hub would pop up somewhere else.
customers want to shop in a super-hub because they can buy everything in one place, producers want to build there because of high sales volume and large supplies of minerals, and miners want to sell there because of all the producers placing huge buy orders.

I think it comes down to the simple fact that economics needs hubs and centers.
It is sort of like saying "Fix New York" (tried driving in Manhattan, I would call that 'RL lag', most any large city you will un into some lag..)
When they "Fixed" the highways between the hubs, the main point was so that other systems would see more activity, I think it just made people have to take detours.. To a lot of people it would be like the government deciding that highways were giving people too much access to the financial centers and deciding to, say for instance, remove I-5 between San Francisco and San Diego because all those little towns need some more traffic.
People go to jita so they can pick up everything they need in one spot.
People sell in jita because rare things 'sell' in jita faster than anywhere else, and if you can sell at market in bulk then regular items as well.. This is good for the buyer (they don't need to hunt around for good prices) and good for sellers (they can know their stuff will sell quickly)
I would be nice if major sellers would also use the other stations instead of almost exclusively m-4 but.. that right now is wall street of the universe.

jita isnt broken.
every mmo has their hotspots where people concregate to sell stuff. whether it be org, bree, or mos E.
there is no real viable solution to it.
people go where there are lots of things to buy or where the prices are the best. same is true in the real world.
I choose to not go to cathedrals to capitalism (malls and wally world) not because im a communist mind you, id rather just not deal with the crowds and teenagers (well maybe the chicks ) and the same with jita.

If people were willing to travel 2-3 jumps outside of jita to shop, we wouldnt have this problem.
Most of us builders would love to NOT haul our stuff into jita for it to be sold quickly.

I wouldn't go that far. I think a dynamic sales tax and broker fee system would be the best solution. Make it like the office system is, only instead of how many offices are rented, it increases based on how much ISK changes hand each day in the system. So for X billions of ISK/day or above the tax rate goes up 3%. It may take some time, but it's the only possible way the majority of people will start to use the many other hubs that offer almost as much as Jita does.

I wouldn't say that. Have you tried buying stuff in New York? Food, for instance, is much more expensive than where I live. Want to get a beer in New York? You may as well buy one in Iceland. They may even be cheaper over there. And this is just for the regular stuff.
In real world megacities it's not really the cheaper stuff, it's the availability of it all in a small area.
I used to get It.
Then It changed.
Now I don't even know what It is.

Allow big Alliances to fire to fire a couple of Doomsday weapons salvoes at Jita per day.
They could take turns, and the alliance which kills most carebears wins!
Or the one who is more whined upon.
Either way, it would fix Jita and make some carebears cry, two birds in one shot!
