The Removal of Jump Queues in EVE Online

To:  CCP Games

The introduction of jump queues to help curb traffic has resulting in a lot of frustration from the player base. Whether it be held up in a queue often for up to half an hour to getting blown up at a star gate despite you being in jump range, they have impacted on the entire player base in a completely negative way. Until you can come up with a proper solution, we believe that you should disable the jump queue system entirely.

Here are a list of some of the problems with the current system:

1. You have no way of knowing whether you will be stuck in a queue when you activate a gate until you activate it.

2. There is no protection for you when you are in the queue. In 0.0 you can be freely killed by anyone where-as before you would have already gone through the gate and be well on your way to escaping.

3. When you are in a PVP gang or fleet and you jump through a gate to engage a set of targets on the other side, very often you end up with half of the gang/fleet in the queue and the other half jumping through without any problems.

4. When a system is spotted, you will often get groups of players setting up camp, destroying all ships that get stuck in the queue (this is as a result of point 1, which is that you are not protected when in a queue).

5. You can often spend half an hour in a queue in 0.0, yet when you relog you can jump through perfectly.

6. There is no logical placement of jump queues - you could be in a system with two people, jumping into a system with only one person, and get stuck in a queue.

There are many, many more issues besides these that individual players are encountering every day. CCP - for the sake of the game and the loyal fans who play it day in, day out - disable or remove the jump queues until a working solution can be implemented that doesn't cause disruption on such a large scale.
