I have had enough of the 1%'ers demanding EVE devs focus away from FiS and core game mechanic improvements towards building unimportant features:
Space Pets are not important
Space station homes are not important
Space station furniture is not important
Space Barbies are not important
The 99%ers have spoken. We have had "Occupy Jita"
First of all, speak for yourself. You're not the voice of the Eve community.
Secondly, it wasn't 99% of the Eve community. Nor was it 75%. Or even 50%. The percentage is closer to 20%, and that's a generous estimation. There was about 50 K players online and maybe 10 k max did the emo-rage protesting.
Thirdly, nobody is demanding Eve Dev's to focus away from FiS and core game mechanic improvements. But if you really want to talk about some unimportant features, there's a few in your list below.

New session change timer tweaks,
New Tier 3 BC,
New T2 mods,
New POS fueling,
Hybrid balance,
Time dilation,
New ship fitting screen,
Return of ship spinning,
New ship skins,
Capital rebalance etc.
These are the important things and thanks to the voice of the 99%'ers CCP is now listening and is delivering up the goods.
To the 1%'er "Space Barbie" lovers who want CCP devs to waste their time on WiS, We Say NO.
If you can not live without space housing then leave EVE and go play Final Fantasy 15 or Ever Quest 1, 2, 3 and hang out with the other snark and Grumpkin lovers!
This message has been brought to you by the Abaddon WiS now campaign
As I said above, you don't speak for the Eve community and it wasn't 99%. More like 20% which just happens to be a very loud vocal minority.
All the 'Important' things you listed is not new content. Most of it is just 'Fixes' that should have been done years ago. The only 2 things in your list that could be considered 'New' would be the T3 Battlecruisers and ship skins. Unfortunately those still don't add any new game content.
Also there are no new T2 modules, T2 items are created by players through invention. There has been some hinting of missing Faction/Deadspace modules that are already in the item database being seeded into the game. Module icon graphics on the UI is whats being changed or rather reverted back to original. They will still show the enhanced graphics on the info box and preview as well as on the ships.
By the way, you forgot to add Engine Trails, Nebula graphics, Ship buffing / balancing to your list. I believe there's a few other things being implemented as well pertaining to Docking range, suicide ganking, FW, PI, etc.
In case you didn't realize this, CCP's new direction of 'focusing on what makes EVE great', is mostly about fixing, balancing and hopefully finishing existing game content. Mainly it's more like a facade, a temporary 'Placebo' to placate a loud vocal minority.
Anyway, I'm pleased to inform you that CCP's vision for Eve Online has always been from the very start to create a Science Fiction Virtual Reality Universe. FiS is only one aspect of that. WiS is another aspect of that. CCP has stated over and over, time and time again, that is their vision and the direction they are going with Eve Online.
Referencing WiS as 'Space Sims with Space Barbies' and stating that it doesn't belong in Eve Online denotes an immature closed minded viewpoint. With that being said, you've made your point. You don't like the idea of WiS which is fine. Instead of trying to derail this thread, just turn off station environment and go fly spaceships. |
