I also played SWG before and (for a short while) after the NGE, and I could not disagree more. A change to EVE like adding true WIS gameplay is nothing like what SOE pulled on us. It is not gutting and replacing the core of the game, it is merely adding one feature which would likely be largely (if not completely) optional.
Comparing minor things like this to the NGE only lessens the impact of what happened to SWG; it makes the whole event seem to be less than what it truly was: a massive fraud of the customers by SOE in the form of an epic bait-and-switch operation.
Calling WIS the same as the NGE is hysterical amounts of exaggeration, and an insult to every SWG player who lost their game to Sony's greed.

as long as i wasnt FORCED to undock from my ship, go out "the door" and forcibly have to walk to a market person to buy my stuff, i dont give a **** if WiS was implemented. why is it so hard for some people to realize that.
would i use it? probably less than 1% of the time
CQ is there, am i forced to use it and is eve dying because its there? no
if WiS was implemented and i wasnt FORCED to push a button to do what ive always been able to do, would the game be dying?
no, it would still be a spaceship pvp game, with some fluff on the side that you didnt need to look at if you could ignore 1 button
There are a number of huge assumptions you are making.
1.) assume that the vast majority of eve players would still fly spaceships around.
It is probable that WiS could only support one toon at a time because of server load and client load.
So for every player in WiS that would take out of game all of his/her alts as well. Could be a very noticable drop in
spaceships available for PvP.
2.) assume that WiS will not load down the server and hamper or severly hamper spaceship gameplay in same system like for instance Jita. Imagine being denied entry to Jita because of the number of WiS people playing in Jita station. Would that upset your idea of WiS?
If WiS did not upset EVE gameplay in anyway then I would not have a problem with it. But I doubt that would happen.
Because why would CCP add more servers just for support of WiS? More servers costs money and cost more money to keep them all online as well. They would need extra revenue to maintain extra servers for that purpose. Where is extra revenue going to come from WiS? So sans extra revenue they would have to make do with the servers they already have. Which would impact EVE gameplay.
