CCP needs to make one of those sticky trashcan threads for WiS in the features and ideas section, like the one that exists for Cloaky Camping.

The door leads to the "Common Area" of the Station/Citadel/EC. In there, pilots can walk around freely with other pilots while enjoying the Quafe Bar and watching teams of Exotic Dancers. Fleet Commanders can give battle briefings before an Op. Mining Directors can recruit barge and exhumer pilots for clearing fields. Alliance Leaders can give in-person SOTA addresses.

ok, enough of the role-play bullcrap.

Opening up a common room would play into the game aspect of a significant part of the community, the social gameplay. CCP would see an increase in the microtransaction of player resculpt and clothing market. I sincerely think that opening 'that door' would more than pay for itself in terms of programming time and development by the increase in sale of PLEX for these transactions.

I hear the screams of "FIX the existing problems before creating others!" And I ignore you.

CCP could also put a small 'cost of access' tax on the common room as a potential ISK sink.

Its not worth the development time though sadly, very few people would use the feature, i mean why fight with a slow clunky WiS interface when i can just dock, make a few clicks and be on my way, there wouldn't be any way to recoup the costs involved, i mean personally i would have just deleted the CQ once the WiS project was canned, be happy they left you that much :P

I figured the first few posts would be detractors.

Confirms my thoughts on several things.
