New to EVE, and I'll tell you what attracted me to it,. HINT: it wasn't the spaceships.

Read back a few posts where I describe how CCP ignored real Eve content for two years to bring you those avatars.

Better yet, just go ahead and block my posts so you can continue to believe that you're not simple.

Do it. You'll be happier in life.

Maybe I will. But first, I have a question.

Do you want EVE to be a long-term success? Would you like it if the game continued to be available to play for years in the future?

I would rather be able to customize the outside of my ship than the inside. At least I would be able to see it and appreciate it when I'm engaging in actual game play.

I already responded to that you pretentious moron.

I offered you a hypothetical situation where WiS content could be developed without effecting the development of FiS content. I asked you if you would be opposed to the development of the features if this were the case.

You instead demonstrated a lack of mental flexibility, because the hypothetical did not represent reality, so you could not process it.

Please, prove me wrong. Show me why WiS content is actually inherently bad for EVE, aside from the history of it's attempted implementation.

Not if it's WiS, then EVE can go **** itself.

Irrelevant to my question, and an obvious dodge. Please answer the question if you are going to attempt to answer.

Eve is already a long-term success. If they continue fixing bugs, iterating on existing features and adding more spaceship content it will continue to be so.

If they lose focus again and start catering to people like you then the same thing will happen: Subscribers will leave, layoffs will happen, etc. For the moment it looks like CCP has learned the lesson and we have to make sure they don't get misled by roleplayers. Or fatties.

I like this idea too. Paint jobs, adjusting the placement of hardpoints somewhat, customization is always healthy for a game.

It seems I was not clear, or you were deliberately attempting to dodge my question.

Do you want EVE to CONTINUE to be a long-term success? Do you want the game to be available for you to play in the future?

What if it's without WiS?

I answered your question.

(I know you want me to say "Yes" just so that you can go "Aha! But they have to add space pants and dance emotes for it to CONTINUE to be a long-term success!!1!!1!" You're not very subtle...)

Cool. EVE changes, as do most games, but it's at it's core an MMORPG about piloting, trading, and building ships and resources, as well as engaging in combat and social interactions.

No, you did not answer my question, and I would not be so bold as to assume that adding WiS content is the only way to make EVE a success. My question served a different purpose.

It's not a hard question. I can understand that you think I'm trying to be sneaky, but I'm really not. I'm not good at being sneaky.

In fact, I'll change the question to add the qualifier "Assuming that Eve never includes WiS content".

I understand that you feel I have an innacurate understanding of the game. I'm new to the game, so you are probably right. Could you tell me what is incorrect about this?
