Rheinland Jumpholes

[TheJarl]

Now, even as somebody who has played as criminal and revolutionary factions for years in many different houses, I don't see this as a problem. Then again I also recognize that I am not as "hardcore RP" as some members of the community who don't believe anyone hostile to the a gate's or lane's respective house should be using them at all.

It's not so much about hardcore RP as that it is inconvenient. Also as has been mentioned, variety in encounters are not a bad thing. Of course the need for bottlenecks is something I completely understand but the only bottleneck the JH removal could create already existed, namely the S-13 Gate - Holstein tradelane. I have never seen a normal trader use JH instead of the lanes and that tradelane has already been the main spot for activity in Frankfurt. In addition, even if people would use jumpholes with transports, if one goes from the S-13 hole to where the NB hole was you actually tend to pass through the exact same spot as where you would intercept traders along the lane.

In short, I understand the reasoning behind its removal, however the envisioned bottleneck was already there with the jumphole still there so apparently there was no need for its removal.
