Because people will whine about anything. And seems to have this idea that only one thing can happen at a time. And if it isn't the one thing they want, then the temper tantrum comes.
No. It's because they cannot see what it will add to the game apart from eye candy, and Eve is so much more than just another game filled with meaningless eye candy.
See, if these whiners would take the time to read dev blogs and interviews and such, they would realize that ambulation is much, much more than walking eye candy. The concepts of corporate offices with npc greeters that will run through a programmable dialog tree, personal stores, bars, casinos, ect are going to open up whole new areas of game play.
It's going to be *****in' and I can't wait.

As they're already developing this for the WoD MMOG, it makes sense developmentally to make it compatible with EVE.
Further, I like the idea of owning my own club, and having a snazzy corporate office for PTSSS. In fact, I'm left wondering how I'm going to brand it all! Do I do a smokey gambling joint? A clean-cut corporate club? A dark and intimate club with private rooms for Caldari loyalists or corporate meetings? Or do I do opulence?
Further, how do I make money on this all? ;D
Exactly! How is that "simply eye candy"?  I'm so pumped.

Corporate offices - already exist
An icon with your corp name and description under some tab in station is hardly what I, nor CCP, have in mind.

NPC greeters - no function that isn't covered by a website
In game, in station greeters will market to the casual browser. Your website will only get hits from corp members, war targets, or people you send that way. Also, IGB and OOG links take away from immersion.

Personal stores - selling what exactly? Clothes? lol
This is the attitude that kills me. Where has is ever been stated that stores can only sell clothes and puppies and sunshine? Why not battleships, implants, hookers, and beer?
Originally by: Tommy TenKreds
Casinos - Yeah maybe but again already covered by IGB sites
The immersion issue again, as well as the added security that will come with a CCP endorsed gambling venue. Harder to scam.

Whole new areas of gameplay - where?
By areas, I meant types.

So ambulation is a bad idea because a few immature people will do something that annoys you?

Meh..
Reasonable responses and that's why I'm undecided.
IF:-
Shops can sell all commodities - that would rock tbh, cos you could hook people into being regular buyers for your sets of stuff or customized (rigged) ships
Decor costs real cash - that would rock cos if you're filthy rich like me you can show it off
CCP eventually introduce bipedal combat - r0xx00r!
So yeah, there is potential but it's still a worrying development for the reason that it could all just go Sims up!
Totally agree. It's all going to hinge on how far CCP decides to take it. I feel like ambulation will blow if they release some half-assed, gimp version. That's one of the main reasons I'm trying to support it so heavily. If they give it everything they've got, I think we'll all be really impressed.

Talking out of ass
Read a few articles on the features of ambulation before you open your ass checks to spew your ignorant babble please.

Links please.
Here is a great place to start. No reading required.
This one does require reading.

Look, I'm sure you can come up with reasons why ambulation is going to be awful for the next century if you'd like. If you're going to insist that ambulation won't add anything new, fine. If you refuse to accept things on the features list as real features because they can be done in text, perhaps you should stick with text based games.
As for me. I'll take the new features, eye candy, and immersion. The rest of you be damned.
