Are there not EU-based GPU companies that service those customers?  EVGA seems to be a terrible choice for those people outside of the United States, and the queue speeds have shown that.
 
There are no EU based GPU companies, the source for all is China and only distributors and vendors are found here.
 
I don't buy the "don't have time" excuse...  If you ain't got time to hunt for as card, I doubt you will have time to game...  And if you're using it for work, then work needs to supply it or it needs to become a higher priority if you freelance.
 
So you say, that if do no have enough free time, i should not be eligible to buy a card. Also monthly salary here is about the price of a card. For most people even less.
 
As far as the EU prices are sooo high argument... I will give you my KingPin for free if you agree to pay one month of my daughters' medical bills and I have what the US calls "good" insurance.
 
I am really sorry about your daughter and i hope she gets well soon. Almost free medical attention is one of the good things here.
 

Thank you for your kind words, I need to realize not everyone is a jerk (me included) lol. I honestly don't want to fight/bicker, I am just upset about this move by EVGA.
 
The people who just want one card are not the problem, just like a person following the rules and providing cards for family/friends are not the problem.  The people looking to profit and exploit the system, they are the problem and always have been.
 
We are now arguing amongst ourselves while the profiteers sit back, laugh, count their money, and post pics of their stacks of GPUs...  EVGA making a rule that would so OBVIOUSLY have this effect is so puzzling/frustrating to me.  Hindsight is 20/20, but surely they had to anticipate this response.  Even the survey was resounding, and IT WAS A COMPLAINT THREAD...  What happy customer would feel the burning desire to go there???  Yet 60% said keep it the same.

I agree with the recent changes to the queue but also agree it should have been restricted from the beginning to one 30-series card, not just SKU.
I signed up for the one and only card I'm interested in (3897) and have been patiently waiting my turn. However, I see many people having signed up for multiple queues which seems like an attempt to "game" the system.
So you get a 3070 and then a few months later get the 3080 you really wanted. What happens to the 3070? I bet it's being sold for a profit.
You bought the 3070 for a "friend"? Your friend should have signed up for their own queue. However, you willfully "gamed" the system by purchasing a card using your membership status which was designed to provide cards to long standing members like myself. 
I resent the notion that somehow I'm not "putting in the effort". The whole purpose of the queue is to avoid having to compete with scalpers since I do not have the time to put in that kind of effort. 
 
To speculate further, I'm guessing the queue affects production decisions. If there are 100 queues for 3070's and a 100 queues for 3080's, I will produce them equally. But if all 200 queues were for 3080's, I'd only produce those and everyone would get the card they wanted sooner. 
 
If everyone signed up for just one card, I expect I will receive mine sooner.

What are you talking about? You can't say "game" since rule was one SKU per household, not one card. Many folks bought 3060 to play with raytracing and DLSS while waiting 3080 and better - it is all according rules. Now rules changed and all this folks will never get their desired card. That a shame! You should not change rules of game that affect previous moves!

this is the response i got from the email. "Our records show that you've already purchased several 30 series graphics cards and this change is so that those that have yet to purchase any will have the opportunity to purchase at least 1."  however on the first page Jacob posted that B stock and step ups wont effect the Que. so if its really about getting people at least one card than why is it that step ups and b stock are not affected?  The reason Im so upset about this is i got my link on Friday, before this all took place.  Its one card, one transaction that would have kept me a life long customer. I know im not the only person this happened too. it would have been a better look to honer the links sent out, I missed it buy 2ish hours and am very disappointed with EVGA and their "legendary customer service which has let me down all 3 times ive asked something of them.

Is there a Trading/Selling platform here in the Forum?  Just a place to avoid scalper.

I heard they are going to open a scalper specific for sale forum where people can scalp their Queue cards.

What rule got changed?

This

I have mixed feelings about this policy change.  On one hand, I can identify with the spirit of the change: we want more people to get a chance at 30-series cards.  Cool.  Yet, on the other hand, it feels wrong to change the rules of the game part way through.  Plenty of folks made strategy decisions about purchases based on the rules of the original system: each person is allowed to queue and purchase one card for each sku.  This created a situation where many folks happily purchased a lower end card to use while waiting for their preferred target to become available.

I have the same sentiment.

Update 10/4/2021

In an effort to expedite those in queue who are still waiting for a EVGA GeForce RTX 30 Series Card, and to be fair to all EVGA customers, we are making a running change:

1. Accounts that have NOT purchased an EVGA 30 series card yet as part of the queue will be prioritized.
2. Accounts that have already purchased an EVGA 30 series card in the queue system, will be behind those who have not.

Note: B-Stock (RX) or Step-Up 30 Series products will not affect queue positions.

We hope that this update will allow more gamers to get their hands on an EVGA GeForce RTX 30 series card. If there are any questions please contact our support at sales@evga.com.
Thanks

Wow, EVGA just updates the first page with information like that? I never visit the first page. Holy crap what a dumb decision EVGA has made. First they crap on their loyal customers with giving the wheel spin discount to knew Elite Members only and now a hardy piss off to them again with this BS.

I never do as well, but when I heard about the change, I thought of looking at the first page and sure enough, it was there. Yeah, I never got the wheel of spin discount either.  But I do not get these "decisions" bother me.  It is, what it is.

what cards have the shortest que?

Nobody knows. All I can say if you need the power of a 3070 Ti or above that, remove your queue spot for cards under that so you don't get stuck with a card you don't really want.
