Does anyone else find it amusing that the Eve Developers are essentially giving us a completly different game for FREE and adding it to our existing game, yet people have the audacity to complain?
Look at it from a business perspective? CCP could quite easily, and justifiably CHARGE us for Ambulation because its way bigger than any expansion. Yet they are going to give it to us for free, thats freaking huge. Complaining about ambulation is like throwing the gift horse off a cliff.

No, it's not very amusing when the QA system is in such a dire state as was witnessed with the last expansion and the not so hot fixes that followed, not amusing at all.
This really has nothing to do with ambulation. I'm almost certain the devs working on ambulation are not the devs working on Eve, they are so completly different. That being said, even if you threw more devs at a problem doesn't mean its going to get fixed.
World of Warcraft is a massive example. They have the money to high any number of developers, yet when I used to play activly back in November I could easily find many bugs, gamebreaking and otherwise, in the game. MORE DEVELOPERS != MORE FIXES. It just doesn't work that way, and it is unreasonable to believe that ambulation is somehow slowing down Eve's development as a game, when it is a huge part of the game.
Quite frankly, the reason I've been bouncing back and forth between playing Eve and not playing Eve for over four years, look up my first character Sader ingame, (except now I'm staying the long haul, after buying a year of playtime for two accounts) is ambulation and the potential it posses.
Ambulation is so much more then prancing around stations, the possibilities this brings to the game is mind boggling. Stations will lead to planets, atmospheric flight, true colonies, more depth and scope. Stop looking so short term and realize that ambulation is a very small step in a potentially massive gameplay shift.
Eve Online is going to be huge.
