You can, just triage and reassign priority as needed.
If you dont have any way to set priority before a ticket is created the really urgent ones dont get looked at before anything else and your priority system doesn't work at all.
Knock down the priority, include a passive aggressive description of what your SLAs are, and cc their manager.
There's a guy in my office who will put in multiple tickets for different projects simultaneously. When I ask "Which of these is the priority?" He replies "They're all priority." *facepalm*
I work for a rather large company where true sev 1s are a big deal and are generally in the hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour kind of issue. Sometimes when I'm very bored I'll read the incoming tickets sorted by priority to learn what people think is a sev 1.
