You see this in everyday real life, when the distance between the "common people" (not ment as a derogatory term) and "the higher echelon", focus on what is important gets re-adjusted. Plus it's a good way of getting your face and name in the newspapers.

How does this thing even represent EVE? There's no imagery in the design that resembles anything in EVE, just a blank obelisk flanked by a face-like object. The only thing telling us that this monument represents EVE is that sculptor saying it does. It could just as well represent the struggle of the common man to understand the mindless rapacity of the business world, or something else appropriately art-wonky.

I'm disappointed, CCP, because you made such a big deal over this and it's something that doesn't actually affect a lot of us.

Although I had expected it, because I know from long experience that the EVE-O forums are a cesspool of people who would find a way to be mad if they were teleported to the land of free money and blowjobs...

And you're complaining like petulant adolescents having a meltdown because daddy didn't buy them a porsche for their sweet sixteen.

Take a step back and look at yourselves and what you're doing here, angry people. Because that's what you look like to me.

The "timer" feedback was anticipated by some of us and has already been passed around internally to the appropriate people, so you can all mark that down as noted.

Although one person did have a brilliant idea on Twitter that would make for an awesome April Fools joke. i bet the timer will end and it will be all like "timer feature test complete..."
