Well, it was just a matter of time, I guess... bye bye EVE's potential to one day be more than spaceships and spreadsheets. o7

Guess we have to just hope star citizen is successful and not a huge scam. Cause it looks like star citizen is the closest were ever going to get to what Eve could be. |

I've never understood why people wanted to turn Eve into Habbo Hotel.
This is a spaceship game. Every time you expand the scope, you dilute it.
Good riddance to any player ready to leave over this. |

Can't say I'm bothered. I never understood the purpose of the captain's quarters anyway. The only thing I ever used it for was taking the odd screenshot of my character stood in front of their ship. |

It didn't have an actual purpose for years... but it did have potential, once. It was a different time back then, though... a time of big dreams and ambitions.

While captainGÇÖs quarters will be removed from New Eden with the August release, the ability to view your avatar in 3D will remain in place through the show info window on characters.
this is the biggest crock or crap I have ever seen.. you have players some not all that spent real money on their gear just to look at it in a freaking window.

The only thing I'll miss are the jokes about that door.
CCP could at least have trolled us and opened the door to the next corridor before removing CQ  .
Remove standings and insurance.

One of the first things that we want to investigate is to release a 64-bit EVE client to better utilize your available system memory when playing. Compiling a 64-bit client has been held back by the outdated middleware that was needed by captainGÇÖs quarters.
Holy sheep chit.. now they plan on killing all our PC's.

Which begs the question, why on Earth would you bother spending real money on something that had absolutely no benefit to you in-game?
You paid to look pretty, you can still look pretty in a window. The same window that everyone else already saw anyways... assuming they ever looked, which I can promise they did not. |

That's the fundamental difference between two kinds of EVE players... and CCP desided years ago which ones they will focus on in the future. Spoler: It's not those that care about fashion...

nah, EVE should never had had CQ and WiS even added in the first place, it never added anything of actual value to the game and never would have, it also means hours of manpower to update, fix, and bugcheck, all for not actually adding anything to the game at all, it was a terrible idea in the first place and i for one will not miss it, playing dressup never interested me in EVE, your pilot avatar is rarely seen by anyone other than you in anything more than a tiny 32x32 icon ingame :P |

funny I thought the entire WiS agenda was to push microtransactions which in turn caused the community to rage much and begin the iconic Burn Jita..
still its going to feel really strange having a ships of a space navy with no hanger or bay to walk around in.. guess these nerds haven't watched any single sci-fi movie ever created since every last one of them had some type of CQ/Piliot Hanger involved when it came to spaceships.. SHAME SHAME SHAME on CCP..
I guess it called for too much work.. ccp cant have that, they need extra time to break the game even further.

That's what it is - or was - today, but WiS could have worked if CPP did it right in the first place, but - of course - they had to be greedy and jump the gun by trying to sell people over priced accessories for a system that wasn't even there yet... EVE could be a very different game today - with much more meaningful and VARIED gameplay - if CCP hadn't mishandled WiS so thoroughly.
...but I guess that's all moot now anyways. When it comes down to it, CCP aren't the big visionaries and innovators the games media made them out to be for years. The only thing they ever did right was making a semi-solid economy simulator... no small feat, to be sure, but not nearly as impressive as it used to be.
I mean, let's be honest, these days, all the game is good for is a few shaking heads over articles listing how much the latest big war cost in real money...

No need for all those fancy clothes that we can buy. No place to walk anymore.
It may not have been a cash cow for CCP anyway, just like skins.
Of course this now means that they will have more resources to put more ads in and around our stations from the big corps. I didn't look at the screen in my captain's quarters, and I don't look at the screens in my hanger either.

Of course there was a downward trend of people using the captains quarters. The player base was told that it would be expanded, it never was. Now it is being taken out. Sounds about right.
Myself, I dropped to a Alpha account. Now I only show up from time to time just to see what the next thing to get a big "FU" painted on it somewhere. I really did get a laugh when I saw that I had unallocated skill points, really, it is a Alpha account, the skills are maxed out, why leave skill points that I can not place anywhere? As it goes, nice job CCP, you have done the expected, put something in, milked it dry and now pulled it leaving players with a load of things that people have no use for.
Well Done |

Sums it up quite nicely... I doubt I'd ever resub either, especially as long as the forums are open for alpha accounts.
...never mind, shouldn't give CCP ideas.

LOL...
Funny, CCP goes out of its way to lock down players or make us all mere slaves of war and ISK, and some just find it cool.
When they launched the quarters, everyone liked it, then the CCP changed their mind, saw that this could lead the game to another 'way' (maybe less wars and more ISK made IN GAME). They completely abandoned the quarters.
After YEARS, they do a 'search' asking what everyone thinks of something that has been completely abandoned.

How would it be varied, anything you could opt to do while walking in a station could be done faster from the hangar screen, people do NOT want to spend ages walking from place to place to browse contracts or to fit ships or to buy things on the market etc, what varied gameplay do you think would exist from inside a station, they wouldn't have added anything that couldn't be done from the outside and they wouldn't have added anything that would have forced people to enter the station to defend against
WiS wouldn't have added anything meaningful apart from some stupid /dance emotes or the ability to show off those clothes you got, not that most of the players would ever see them because they wouldn't be wasting time walking around :P |

SP was given for 2 reasons recently, one was the removal of 4 skills in the last patch, another was for a skill queue screwup, not their fault you can't do anything with them because you choose to remain an alpha, they still reimbursed them like they did for everyone |

Who is this everyone you speak of? i didn't like them or see a point in them, most of the people i knew at the time didn't like them or see a point in them, you massively overestimate how many people used the feature, the graph they have goes back 2 years showing that apart from a new player spike, there were at most about 12% of players even using the feature, and we have to wonder how many of that 12% even knew they could turn it off :P
The feature was never massively popular, it wouldn't have ever added anything meaningful to the actual game other than eye candy |

True... if you have the imagination of post 2012 CCP, that is.
In fact, with a solid out-of-pod character framework, we could have had quite a few "meaningful" gameplay options today... from corporation HQ offices complete with meeting rooms and stuff, over gambling in bars to ship2ship FPS boarding action and even ground combat... heck, if they stayed on course and concentrated on EVE proper, they might have never needed to make DUST or Valkyrie into standalone games, but integrated them into their main universe from the start.
Alas, it's CCP, and they are so notorious for making bad design/development decisions by now, it's almost comical...

Hope so my self i seen more game development stuff from them than from CCP in eve lifetime it doesn't look like a scam but one can never tell it was risk from day one,
Eve is getting smaller by the day ignoring player base poorly implementation favoritism i am more than ready to walk of this boat.
