Well I for one agree with the OP in that all of this rubbish is just not Eve and makes no sense whatsoever.

I can make a choice of career between being an industrialist and building up billions in assets, or....running some clothes shops? WTF???? Is a shirt going to cost millions of ISK? I can buy some new boots...or a megathron? IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. Just because a lot of people (and I'm horrified at the number of people who say they are looking forward to this) seem to want to play the Sims in Space, does NOT make it a valid direction for the game to go.

Everything I have heard about ambulation from CCP stinks of an idea that they are desperately trying to think of justification for. Multiple CEOs in a meeting room discussing battle plans over a shared map? Utterly pointless. It sounds OK, if you've never been a CEO or particpated in a battle. But in reality it adds nothing. People already have all those tools, out of game, and they work much better than they ever will in-game.

Clothes shops? I can't believe this is a serious idea. People complaining about carrier nerfs and amarr ******ation will realise how trivial those issues are once this ambulation crap gets stuffed into the game.

The key to being successful at anything is focus. CCP, for all their problems & faults, have been pretty solid so far wrt keeping the original vision of Eve intact. Not any more.

The fact is, ambulation is a requirement for their next MMO, the whole White Wolf thing. Putting it in Eve is nothing more than practise for them. It's a shame they don't realise it will probably ruin the game.

When I quit as a result of this crap, I will load everything I own into a freighter and self-destruct it outside Jita 4-4. Be there with a hauler.
