Back in high school with my first credit card I managed to rack up nearly $1000 in items/coin bought online. This was about 10 years ago while I was neck deep in eq1. I nearly failed out of college because I could not control my self. While not technically microtransactions it's the same basic idea.
This i think is a perfect solution to the whole bottle neck issue. There would have to be a cool down time after, and a spin up time before, you jump. Also give players the ability to scan for ships in their nearby area so people cannot just go out, hide, and feel safe.

Just to note the Perpetuum UI is far better than EVEs example of how not to develop UIs.
My self as a gamer have no problem with grinding, with the exception of I don't want to know I am grinding. :) Aion doesn't even attempt to hide its grind.
