I don't know how one can watch the compilation video from Fanfest (the one that has all the cut-scenes from movies) and not be excited. It gives a clear idea of the scope and grit and scale and variety and atmosphere that CCP has envisioned. It may take awhile for it to be fully realized, but it has to make an initial step at some point from which it can continue to build.
The whole "Moving furniture is fun in the Sims!" part of the presentation put me off, but I trust in the overall vision enough not to freak out.
But you know, there was a time when old people were all "who wants cell phones?! those are so stupid! they'll ruin everything!". Same with just about everything else. Holy ****! It's different! It'll be the end of everything!OMGZ!!!1!

what is there not to like
You mean other than the realization that statistically a hairy, likely sweaty and smelly, bespeckled man is sitting at the helm.
You mean other than that right?
I am pretty "meh" about the whole thing but I think that is the best attitude to approach with as, unless they royally flub it, I will probably be impressed before it is all over.
On the plus side, it may give me a reason to RP.

I'm not sure how disappointed you should be with something that isn't even released or shown in it final form yet.. but I don't believe anyone said you are going to have to use ambulation. I understood it was an alternative station feature. You could stay on your ship.

I do agree with op, I've seen tons of posts that are way too in depth and expecting too much. But at the same time I enjoy EVE whether I can see my character or not, I couldn't really care less about WIS, it's gonna be kickass, but I don't need it to have fun.

Why don't we just wait and see what they'll get out of all the new tools they are building for WiS and then complain.
All that we saw yet were WORKING prototypes of the game engine that is going to power it.
I trust the designer crew of CCP to properly seed the new in-station-worlds with enough npc content, that can eventually be replaced by real player content.
Of course I have no idea how it will really play out, but neither do you. Still even if the first iteration might disappoint, there will be plenty of content over time. Same as it was with the original EVE game, it was pretty barren content wise in the beginning, with only a hand full of ship classes. And look at it now, well I think you get the point :)

First person to read my post...
I am not saying I am not looking forward to it. I am saying that people are talking about it in way to much depth, inflating there expectations. I was just stating the point that it is not going to have all the features they want in it on release.
I am looking forward to it and can't wait...
Think of it like this:-
In the weeks leading up to Christmas, a small child knows his getting a present, its a computer games console of some kind. He knows that much, but he doesn't know what sort. He knows its made by Nintendo.
He then starts to think about what it could be/have, inflating his expectations to the point where he is convinced that its the unreleased successor to the "Wii".
Christmas arrives, and he gets a "NES". How does the boy feel...
Thats my point...not that it will be a flop, but the player base (Who are guilty of this fantastic anticipation), will be disappointed...

News flash: Without the players, the space would be empty in EVE.
Okay, there's some content, such as rats - however, without other players you'd basically need to make all your ships yourself etc. (Unless you were content with the newb ship, or the ship you got from the rookie storyline - which didn't exist when the game launched, btw.) It has also been stated that there will be some NPCs inside the stations as well, though like talking to agents, talking to these people will not be needed for the gameplay.

I can not be disappointed in WiS as I already think they are a terrible waste of time that I will never use nor care about, so anything above and beyond that will be a pleasant suprise.

For those of you who claim to support the troops and oppose national health care, I have a question. Why do you insist on punishing our veterans with free health care? |

No matter how empty and pointless Ambulation might turn out at first, if there is some way to annoy everyone else whether corridor blocking or running in circles around them etc..., then I guarantee you at least some of us will getting some fun and satisfaction out of it. 
I think you'd be getting a ban faster than satisfaction.

Can't happen. The engine doesn't allow it. Or, to quote Eris at Fanfest: "Well, I've heard about these guys called goons, and we thought it best to ruin things for them…  "

How does the engine handle player collisions? Do they walk through each other or block?

Just repeating how it was described at the roundtable…
Think of it as everyone having a magnetic field around them that repell other players as they come closer. Even if two persons are standing as close together as they can, the field is squishy enough that you can squeeze between them and pop out on the other side (but not stay between them since all three toons will be trying to push the others away). Thus, there will always be space enough to go past other people.

So a squishy bubble of personal space. That's pretty smart.

So how many stations are in the game in total? Let's say 1000 for example, then divide the amount of player on server on average based on the population you normally see on the server any given day of the week, it does not take a rocket scientist to know that most stations will be very very empty, people my populate new areas based on a player created feature inside it, lets a say a "Vegas" area where lots of poker rooms "if they create this" are located might collect, I am sure it will grow in some way but it will be thin very very thin in most areas.
That's what I expect, if CCP has a plan to not give every station "walk in stations" Capability then they could control the player population, make it feel more full and have it be more directed, but I doubt they have thought that far since they didn't even have an answer during the dev con about Player Owned Stations and Sov changing, means they either forgot why they did this over the past two years or it was just as poorly planned as the recent combat / speed changes.
All I know is they are drunk idiots that have screwed up PVP that was really fun.

For those of you planning to run interference for pilots trying to get back to their ships - how are you going to stop a bookmark?
That's right, the bookmark system is being planned for stations and will transport pilots instantaneously, no walking required.
But overall I have to agree with what has been said - it's just plain stupid of the OP to even claim that Ambulation will be a disappointment at this point. It's also stupid to claim that Ambulation will be anything right now. Let's burn that bridge when it has been built, shall we?

I'm tired of waiting for it mostly. I wish they'd implement it. It's not like we really expect much initially.
Kinda of tired of them daggling the carrot though....
