Some of the pigeons have gone on about the rage about Incarna was due to WIS, it was not, it was due to pay to win!
Not just p2w, it was an accumulation of all things happening. The NEX store, 18 month's no significant updates, crappy content preferred over polished content, years of waiting resulting in a graphic card melting 1 single room, 1000$ pants, greed is good internal news letter, CEO letter throwing oil on the fire, a "test" where you could buy a ship from within the game that skipped the entire production process, 78 dollar monocles and, and, and.
But it came down to this: CCP spend a god awful amount of time and money developing WIS and upon delivery it was an absolute and total disaster. A single room that added zero.zero meaningful gameplay to the game.

CCP is spending time and resources to overhaul, Sov, there are a lot of players in hisec that have no interest in that at all, however
Talk about pigeons....

For me its sort out sov, continue on the balancing where needed and have a look at WIS if you can, I hope that we will get something in stations and the CQ shows what CCP can do.
It's shelved, get over it. <3 
The problem, besides technical was that CCP has/had nothing that added to any meaningful gameplay for WiS. Dancing was out of the question and shooting other people has also been so many times ruled out by a variety of dev's that you can forget about that as well.
So what they did was see if they could bring avatar game play into another form into the game with their 'Ambulation' project, exploring derelict spacecrafts for stuff that could be used to build other stuff. And from the dev posts about that you can conclude that it would work for EVE but that it's a giant project and they really don't want to ever bump their collective heads again like they did at the time of the launch of 'incarna'.
As for me, that derelict project sounded great, WiS in itself, just meh something I can do without. I have my bree here, dun need a virtual one @ 20.K isk.
