Put it this way, would you rather
-Fight giant space battles
-Colonize star systems
-Extract rich and valuble materials
-Discover stunning and strange things
-Make untold fortunes on a market
OR
-Walk at 2 miles per hour
-Watch a boring holoprojector on constant loop
-Watch your character scratch his/her back ever 30 seconds
WiS on it's current path is unnecessary and ridiculously boring. It's basically what the real world would be like if there was nothing to do and we were in space.
In order for WiS to be worth the time and money it would have to be overhauled in such a way that it's practically a separate game from EVE. Doing so would divert CCPs attention away from their other projects just for the sake of Second Life IN SPAAAACE which as we saw from the tears and rage after Incarna, few people actually want.
Watch Fred Fred Frederation and stop cryptozoologist! Fight against the brutal genocide of fictional creatures across New Eden! Is that a metaphor? Probably not, but the fru-fru- people will sure love it! |

Things like this and maybe some other mini-game type activities would be a great addition to EVE. I would honestly be all for it if I could be convinced that these features could be implemented without CCP neglecting the other aspects of the game. However, I have doubts that they could considering they are working on DUST and WoD as well, and they simply cant stall their work on those while they are in their infancy or else they will crumble before they can take off.
Hopefully, using the massive increase in revenue that CCP has been gaining from DUST as well as the recent increase (or bounce back, whatever it is) in EVE subscriptions, CCP can expand to be just large enough to prove me wrong.
