WIS must come from a team with a sustainable future. The kickstarter idea, though interesting, would only create a situation like in EVE where a two day old rookie gets a billion ISK. You want WIS to come from a place of good ideas and a team that's able to justify its initial and continued existence.
Of course the problem with WIS is no one is able to answer WHY the feature would be essential to EVE (I know you'd have fun in it but that's not enough of a reason because it doesn't answer what WIS would contribute to the rest of the gameplay in EVE).

Texas hold'em with ISK while you're gatecamping, or waiting for a fleet to form up.
100% eve spirit. Enable asset gambling for people low on isk.
Would be great.
Now that I think about it, EVE was not my first MMO. For 4 months I played Hold Em online for a couple hours a day, and the goal was to take my $300 and turn it into a larger pot. I had grind it (make safer bets) because I wanted a consistent gain instead of some chance windfall. I soon hit a plateau because it seemed like the rooms I logged into got popular, and many of these players would be logged in simultaneously to different rooms (the telltale nicknames gave it away) and.. *gasp* using spreadsheets to make bets (spreadsheets take a lot of the mystery out of poker).
As a purist (which in retrospect was a very na+»ve view) I wanted to play the game with just my own wits, not spreadsheets. A month went by and I found my earnings per hour wasn't much more than minimum wage.. at which point I quit playing. I guess the only good thing is that I know enough about poker to hustle some poor ******* IRL who might not know what he's doing.
I personally think that integrating a gambling module into EVE is not a decision CCP could take lightly. Some people have serious addiction issues to gambling and could very easily lose their ISK, ships, and the shirt off their back while ship spinning and waiting to X up. When addiction comes into the picture it is not simply a choice a person makes and is responsible for.. there is more complex brain chemistry that can land the person in a very bad position through very little fault of their own.

Needless to say people who cheat at poker tend to cheat in real life as well, they are not married anymore :D
Oh, god. I hadn't even thought of this possibility. This completely ruins it for me.
This quote from one of my favorite Ed Norton movies comes to mind: "If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker."
You know.. if gambling was implemented with WIS, the exact same thing would happen!

Thanks for admitting that you socialize with sheep (and apparently talk to them?). I'm sure there's a support group for it.
Did you have any actual arguments to make?

You know, I agree with a lot of your points.. but I'm not sure why you need to be so inflammatory.

Let's start with your avatar. Can you please petition to CCP to delete it from the server and nuke the dress you're wearing from your inventory?

I think this could even work if they allowed player submissions in a competition type setting after which CCP would decide if an entry makes it into the game or not. CCP could share some simple details about the 3d format, the texture requirements and so on.
To reduce the noise maybe a custom outfit could be tied to an Alliance or something like that.
