Same here. Microtransaction shenanigans aside, I'm all for WIS and what it could add to EVE. I hope CCP delivers on it sooner rather than later.

And for a moment, what if nothing is said or done concerning avatar gaming? Will another year pass and those desiring avatar gaming keep their subscription while threatening to unsub? Will there be claims that unless Eve has avatar gaming, it will be doomed? Will other games be brought into the mix as the course of action for CCP to get it together or else there will be a mass exodus?
I'm sure there will be claims like that made, but personally I don't put any stock in them. Not for quite a few years, at least.
Eventually, technology will get to the point where WIS is a "why haven't they done it yet?" feature, and then it might start having an effect, but that's a ways off. Until then, WIS is something lots of people want, but it won't hurt the game to not have.
However, I'm not saying it won't benefit the game either. WIS is nigh-guaranteed to bring in extra subscribers, and making existing players happy is almost never bad. It has the ability to be a near-unique selling point, and if done properly could contribute immensely to gameplay and general atmosphere.
So no, I don't think there will be a disaster because of it, but really, after Incarna WIS can only go up. They've got the foothold with CQ; the awkward bit is done. From here they've got a lot of improvements to go after, and not really any way to make it worse.
