I have a similar sentiment as Issler above me. I feel betrayed and abandoned. I believe in the dream of building the ultimate sci-fi universe, but right now I feel like CCP lacks the courage to even say they still have that vision.
Some of us have been waiting for WiS a looooooong time, and just as we are about to get it, it gets postponed indefinetly. CCP has to realize how cruel that is for those of us who looked forward to WiS. We have to wait several months before we even get to hear that Incarna is put on ice in some off-site interview, and then several months more for someone to confirm it, all the while being at the mercy of trolls in a 120+ pages thread. And we don't even get an apology for the "cancelation" of Incarna and the poor communication.
At the same time, the CSM turns a deaf ear to us, with the chairman seemingly only interested in representing "his" constituents and writing stuff like "Just ignore the people you disagree with. This is a thread for me to discuss issues with actual constituents, not to have a slapfight with lunatics who have never used a jump bridge in their life." I get the impression that he is telling CCP that the people who want WiS is very small and that CCP believes him.
We are not represented by the CSM and CCP will hardly communicate with us, or acknowledge our existence.
CCP has poisoned the idea of WiS for a significant amount of people, that is true, but I believe that the people who are opposed to WiS is just a very loud minority.
2011 has not been a happy year for me, and I was really looking forward to 2011 before it started. I have not played Crucible yet, mainly because I had some big (unrelated) hardware problems, but I haven't been in a hurry to get back into EVE. CCP may think that it has deployed Incarna, but it hasn't. It's the most incomplete expansion to date, as far as "delivering what is promised" goes. I don't know how long my patience will last, but I fear that 2012 will not bring us any closer to seeing the full deployment of Incarna, and that might cause me to lose faith in the dream, the vision that caused me to play EVE almost 4 years ago. And then I would feel very silly for loving a game so much that it could actually hurt me.
In short: CCP, you owe those of us that have been waiting for WiS so long (several years) a big apology for snatching it away just as we could almost taste it. You should realize that, because you gave us a big apology for not delivering something else for "only" 18 months. And even that will not bring you one step closer to making it up to us, the disciples of your vision. |
