The only time fleet formations would need to become more than they are already (which is close to nill) is if CCP decides to put game mechanics in that would allow for accidental fire upon targets you did not wish to shoot such as friendly ships in between you and your target.
Until this is implemented there is no reason for fleet formations |

There are formations in blob fights, you just can't see them easily in a screenshot.
Fleets depend on a fleet anchor, or the person dictating the "formation", to order fleet members to perform a movement action, like approach X, orbit X at 500m, align to Planet X. Then you have secondary and tertiary fleet anchors for different fleet roles, like logistics or for recons.
Positioning is one of the most important aspects of fleet warfare, and this shouldn't be taken out of the game for purely aesthetic reasons. The location of your ship on grid is not supposed to be aesthetic, it's supposed to be purely utilitarian. War isn't pretty. |

Isn't that pretty much the standard nowadays ? People who have no actual experience in something believe they know how to improve it.
Pretty much. To top it off, they have no idea why their idea could possibly not work.
