It doesn't seem so to me.
Was I mistaken in thinking that MMORPG developers were interested in keeping the existing players happy?
I guess that a more basic and interesting question is: Does anyone know what percentage of existing players are actually pushing for this monstrosity?
You've got it a little mixed up.
1) - They ARE interested in keeping the existing players happy but the majority of the existing players aren't complaining about Incarna, which leads me to point 2;
2) - The people who aren't vocally anti-Incarna aren't necessarily pushing for it either. Want to know why? We just don't care THAT much either way.
Take me for example. I think Incarna will be a pretty cool addition. I'll walk around a station for 5 minutes, I'll go ''heh, there's Allant!'' then i'll undock and pew pew in Spaceships like I always have done.
It doesn't change anything about the game we all know and love, it just adds something extra for those people who want it. (For RPers this will be an incredible expansion pack)
Want something different to Incarna? Be patient, your time will come.

Case closed!!
Don't be too hasty.
Not too long ago CCP was going to change the way people approach Eve Online. They were going to take things to a whole different level. They were going to create a portal into the world of New Eden via a social networking site that would be the gateway to all of the different online and offline elements of Eve Online.
CCP talks a lot about adding new dimensions to the game, and I have no doubt that they are sincere in their evangalizing. However their dreams seem to be about twenty times larger than their talent pool. Perhaps their dreams are too big for modern technology...they're ahead of their time.
I know individuals like this...they talk all the time about their next big project, and when you check back in with them six months later, they've moved on to something else.
I fell for it with Eve Gate. I really believed that it would be everything they touted it to be. Not only did it fail to deliver, but it has not been 'iterated.' It is an out-of-game email client. Period.
Perhaps Incarna will change the way we play the game. Perhaps Dust will add a whole new dimension to MMOs. But as they say, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."
Color me 'Cautiously pessimistic.'
