i want this too :)
im no programer, but is it really that difficult to do this?
As for as web enabling anything, Eve is after all, on the hosting side, a huge relational database which simply holds the users data and responds to requests from the client for such data. In today's world there are very few modern databases which do not have the ability to link to a website in some fasion of manner, except for custom in home built ones.
As far as Queueing goes an average first year C++ college programmer could write an object oriented C++ queue in a few hours.
So there has to be some good reason, other than CCP wanting to be a complete pain in the subscriber's ass or plain stupidity and ignorance (not that I am ruling that one out mind you), why they would not and really have not already done this!
If we look at the sheer volume of posts from people wanting this, versus the relative number, er rather lack of, people who can come up with good arguments against this it should be clear this is in the interests of keeping the gaming spirit alive. (By good argument i mean arguments which can stand up to basic common sense) After all, my frustration with having to spend hours attached to Earth and Beyond just to gain a few levels was one of the reasons I quit playing the game!
A game should be fun and draw you in and keep you attached to it. EVE should not be frustrating, agnozing, or painful (unless you as a user did something stupid and got your ass tweaked) EVE should be fun and entertaining! Which is the main reason anyone would buy a game in the first place. Who in their right mind would buy a game which they know will cause them endless amounts of pain, suffering, and frustration without any real enjoyment. After all if i want pain, suffering, and frustration all i have to do is walk outside my front door! I play EVE because I think it is fun! I play EVE because I like to explore its universe because I have seen my own and it is too frustrating to deal with!
CCP WE NEED YOUR INPUT ON THIS!!! PLEASE RESPOND!
