The thing is... even though the original intent may not have been to have wormholes have permanent inhabitants, the fact of the matter is that they do now, and if you really step back and look at it it's an amazingly wonder aspect of Eve gameplay, and vitally needed in a game where the "other" end game is the mega-alliance cotrolled and dominated world of empire null space. Where null is the mega-cities of Eve, wormholes are the frontier regions that a certain few throughout the history of our species dared to centure into and colonize. Wormholes are the "out of Africa" of our ancient ancestors. They're the "New World" Columbus accidentally bumped into. They're the unsettled west, the gold rush to California. Not all things happen by intent, but by our very nature.

It's high time that folks at CCP at least do nothing more than acknowledge that they, and to hell with anyone that disagrees with me on this, they got wormholes RIGHT! They frakking nailed it, at least for the population looking for that frontier style of staking your own claim and MAKING IT STICK!. We all don't want to kiss the ring of the Godfathers of Null, regardless of what incentives or punishments are imposed on us. We LIKE the challenges there are with the limited and varying accesses, the different groups you'll run into on a daily basis, the lack of local and free intel. Acknoledge this CCP! You ******* did it right, and it's beautiful! Acknowledge you did it so well that we HAVE to live here permanently! Gods, if I didn't have to go to Empire for materials and fuels and to sell things I'd probably never go, you did it so well!

I hope Mr. Kidd will forgive me with a bit of disagreement with him on the removal of API jump data... I kind of like it. It adds to wormholes by subtraction. Adds a little more frontier, a little more danger. With this particular change, we'll be fine I think.

But C'mon CCP... embrace what you've created and what it's turned to. This is the best damned part of the game. Tell us you see this, you recognize it, and you'll respect at least our rights and abilities to stay and make it work through the challenges the rest of the game does have or need to face.

Tell us you see this, and you understand and accept it. That's all I ask. Keep it in mind with future decisions. We don't want it softened, nerfed, made easier... just respected as our way of life in Eve.
