In all seriousness though, what WOULD happen if, G-d forbid, Chribba suddenly wasnt around anymore.
We take his being here for granted, I think, and we really do need some sort of backup just in case.
Cloning technology should become main stream in a few decades. Chribba lives in one of the more enlightened countries in the world. He should have a high life expectancy, if he can overcome the depression that is a natural companion of people who for a great part of the year are deprived of sufficient daylight.
To answer OP, bottlenecks are a natural phenomenon everywhere people congregate. Some aspect of a location will draw the attention of many people seeking an advantage. Everywhere masses of people convene problems arise, we're that kind of species. In a virtual environment it only means we're trying to find a balance to what the system can deliver.
The answer is not to have a super Concord system.
The answer is, and it gives me great pleasure to find it here as I type, so that the greater EVE community may benefit: an extra stargate in Jita that connects directly to for instance [with great emphasis on the 'for instance' part so as to prevent the whaaaaaaambulance from being started] Arnola system in Derelik. This is 0.5 space, bordering on nul-sec in the Great Wildlands and could become the nul-sec equivalent of Jita. This would off-load the pressure on Jita and give the nul-sec traders a place to trade in the relative safety of 0.5 space guarded by Concord. Conversely, some nul-sec system might be upgraded to 0.5 space, with some Concord protection. It's the same idea with a slightly different twist.
Obviously I would not propose anything as preposterous as asking for an actual safe place to trade. Goodness gracious me, imagine the idea. At the same time brisk trading at the border of nul sec in an environment where the murderous butchers that normally express their lack of empathy at gate camps were held at arms-length, would provide an opportunity for business to bloom in low-security zones, with direct access to Empire space. This would facilitate the transfer of goods from low-sec to high-sec and vice versa and have the added benefit of shifting some of the burden that is now on Jita to another trade hub.
It's a win-win situation, it makes perfect sense, there is no shadow of a hope that it will be implemented. At least we'll be able to kvetch about lag in Jita for a few decades longer.
