Now that's your opinion.

And it's also the wrong one.

You have quite a narrow view of emoting.

Besides I'm not the dude playing a female avatar...

No seriously tell me about this fascinating dudes emoting each other in a pretend-bar drinking pretend-drinks, like lol I've got drinking V I can handle 50 shots and my screen aint even blurry? I mean it just sounds pretty useless.

My god people, will you drop the emoting clap trap. It has nothing to do with this debate in any way, shape, or form. CCP have already said they won't be making emotes. "/waves" is never going to happen.

If bars are made they will include aspects that interact with the rest of the Eve universe. They have talked about having easy ways to buy and sell boosters in shady bays, a military style chess like game that you take bets on (and the bar can take a taxable % of the winnings), corp advertising on screens and more.

Now the specifics aren't there because these are just ideas CCP have been throwing around, but they and the the vast majority of the community agree that without content they shouldn't be created. Very very few of us are (or should be) arguing for empty content-less bars.

These are all things that can be done without avatars, more efficiently without even.
I want meaningful things, meaningful as in I can recluse myself into a whole stand-alone ecosystem, while connected to the overall game universe, you know like worm holes. TBH IDGAF about some little minigame and oh hey I can now do what I already do but with moar avatars.
And forget about the boosters, it's called, haul your boosters to any low or null station, and click the market button.

That's not really an argument. Many aspects of FiS can be done without spaceships, but you don't hear me saying the reverse is an argument. The rest of your argument really just boils down to "I don't want", which is fine. Your opinion is a perfectly valid one, except we've already heard it more times than is strictly necessary. If however, you are outvoted, then CCP shouldn't be listening to the minority on the subject.

All said and done, I do hope CCP work on the Avatar exploration first and foremost, because frankly there are much fewer people who will complain about it.

I guess I too will now be looking forward to games like Star citizen. And if that game gives me big ships, an economy to milk and awesome WiS content, I'll protest with my wallet.


Dont get your pants wet yet.

Star Citizen will be mission based single / multi player game.
So all you can do will be take a mission, undock go to A kill B return dock. Repeat. 20 missions are planned.

Also guy who wants to make this game is begging for money atm. Look at Star Citizen home page. It looks like it was made by some kind of editor (Spider?). I did similar quality web sites when i was in primary school.
It's all looks like scam to me.

I liked very much what Carbon was capable off and frankly, EVE avatars spoiled all other mmo's character creators for me. It set the bar so high that other games avatars looks just silly.

I hope that this job sees more attention in the future ans is continued with meaningfull gameplay in EVE and is used in other projects of CCP like Dust or WoD.

Star cintzen will have a sandbox quality as well, not massive but people will be able to setup servers and invite other players to take part like DayZ.

As for funding they got a lot more than they wanted, so I doubt they are in need of more, though of course thay still take donations, who woudnt, since its funded this way.

As for the web site, who cares, the tech demos are awesome.

Not to mention the ability to have a player co pilot as a gunner or fly a fighter that is in one of the ships bay

But 50 % of EvE community has overhauled calculators as a PC ,so at least 50 % will never play it and come with remarks like the begging one
