CQ is the point of sale portal for micro-transactions so I think its very unlikely that CCP will want players to circumvent that marketing tool.

All those screens in CQ are there for a reason - and that reason is to persuade you to get your credit card out. No marketing / sales strategy would want you to miss that vendor space so we can be 99% certain that CQ will be pretty much the only option available.

How is the new micro-transaction market supposed to bring in revenue if people have the option to skip the market itself as well as the main showcase for it's products? that would be like renting a slot in a shopping mall, walling up the entrance from the inside of the mall and putting a new one in the back alley behind the mall.

No. It would be like renting a slot in a shopping mall, and then not hiring a press-gang to get people in the bar across the street visit the shop and instead letting people who come to the shopping mall discover the place at their leisure.

How would that serve to increase revenue? your shop would be bankrupt and shuttered long before enough people "discovered" it and leisurely shopped in it

However... Incarna is part of EVEs future and captains quarters is only the beginning. It is important that people try to get used to it, test it and give feedback from the experience.

Look.... there is one very important fact the "pro CQ" crowd around these forums needs to understand:

Most of the complaints around here do not criticise against Incarna per se. What they are criticising is the way it is being implemented. While the feature itself is all fine and most probably a great thing for the future of the game, it will be a deterrent and damaging to the game if it is rushed out and forced down people's throats. And by the looks of it this is exactly what CCP are doing right now.

This is launching on June 21st. What that means is the stuff you see on Duality/SiSi right now is pretty much what you're gonna get come Incarna launch on Jun 21st. The people who are b****ing against CQ right now... most of them are actually the "pro CCP" guys warning them to be more careful and listen to their customers more, because they know that rushing features out like this is not cool and CCP's track record on that front isn't really the greatest either when it comes to fixing these things in a reasonable timeframe. Some of the bugs that have been here since game launch still haven't been touched. I know this for a fact... because I've been here watching their progress since early beta.

So please, guys, do yourselves a favor a stop flaming everyone who speaks out against launching CQ in its current form, because most of the critique is very very valid and should be a primary concern to CCP right now.

CQ in its current form = bad game design. It will do exactly the opposite of what CCP are planning, meaning that it will not increase the immersion but much rather bite away huge chunks of it, replacing it with black screens.
