Almost all of these issue we have with CQ were addressed on the fourms, by players, multiple times during testing - and you ignored them!
When 80% of your community doesn't want a feature, don't go and make it anyway - we pay your wages remember!

As I see it, the chief complaint is regarding the high cost of goods in the Noble Market. Second, many people are unhappy about the CaptainĘs Quarters. Third, there are some performance issues with Incarna.
First of all, while the prices in the Noble market are a joke, we don't want the noble market full stop - the entire thing is a joke. This issue was crowd sourced a while back via the CSM, and almost 80% of your player base (Of those that voted) do not want micro transactions, full stop end of story; yet you seem to have taken the fact that about 15% (5% invalid votes/abstained) would be OK with it as an go ahead that the community supports you? Get rid of it, its a failed experiment that is only garnering you bad press and player hate, save face while you can - it would go a long way to putting a positive spin on this entire debacle.
Secondly Captain's Quarters, well quite frankly why should I waste my breath, all of the major issues we have have been discussed AT LENGTH in both general discussion, the CSM forums and the test server forums and for the most part these issues went unanswered or got token responses. The first issue is making it optional, people wanted to keep **** spinning and have CQ available as an option to disembark your ship - yet you feel it necessary to force us to play barbie with your new engine even though it gives us no game play benefit. Yes you've made a nice pretty engine, good job, you shouldn't have released it until it provided content that improves or extends the game rather than simply looking pretty. Next is the lack of content, not only have you released this without game play benefit, it is also lacking actual content you have only released on model of CQ, so we get Minmatar CQ at every station, this is just plain lazy; you should have waited AT LEAST until you had all 4 races finished and ready. Character controls and speed, the character is too slow and has no run option which makes moving around in the CQ boring and generally undesirable on top of this the controls for moving, turning and looking are slow and clunky - not smooth at all which makes it feel like everything is running at a low FPS, even though you're actually running at 60+.
Finally the performance issues associated kind of speak for themselves, when we are in the station, generally speaking we are AFK or not doing anything - this is the time when our PCs should be doing the least work, not the most! I don't want to go AFK and come back with a graphics card that sounds like a jet engine - its completely unreasonable!
At this point I think the best bet is to revert the patch, and redevelop/abandon the features of it since it is clearly very unpopular, yes I agree it contains some good features such as the new agent finder, but these can be released on their own, separate from the unpopular bloat that is CQ and the Noble exchange.
