While it's true that Longyang Rd Stn features some of the most viscous touts in Shanghai, the official queue works quite well (drivers who avail of it generally don't attempt to play games...in the unlikely event they do, you have video evidence on your side).
The more important question you should be asking yourself is if you'll be awake enough to endure 45 minutes on Line 2.
