Like I said earlier, most of the Cosmos Agents worked fine and yes, some needed a nudge from CCP to be activated but that doesn’t mean they’re all broken like you stated.
Anyway, let’s check out the links you posted that supposedly proves your case.
Broken Epic Mission chain? That was somebody trying to run the level 1 Epic Arc which has nothing to do with Cosmos. Also my statement of ‘A few Cosmos Agents are somewhat broken and access requires assistance from CCP’ doesn’t mean they’re all broken like what you stated.
COSMOS Missions and Eve University COSMOS Guide seem to be Broken That player tried to run the Amarr Cosmos Agents and didn’t have the standings required for access.
Pre-CSM Summit Open Thread - #15 by Alhira_Katserna That player was just throwing out a bunch of suggestions, didn’t post any specific issues and wasn’t even sure about Cosmos. However what’s ironic is the last post by that player is pretty close to what I posted earlier to which you disagreed.
Fix long broken mechanics, starting with FW and wardecs. Afaik cosmos missions are broken too. Maybe LP stores and ESS need some love. Fixing the general issues this game has would help a lot more with player retention than stuff like the abyss could ever do. A new player won´t stay forever in a game where he cannot do half of the stuff or enjoy his evening when being faced with broken stuff left right and center.
COSMOS missions are broken That player was complaining about not having standings for access and also about Cosmos Agents not giving Faction Standing increase. That’s not broken, there’s a few Agents mixed in with Cosmos Agents that don’t give Faction standing and will offer their single mission repeatedly. They aren’t really Cosmos Agents even though they’re in the same location.
Anyway, I’ve completed all High Sec Empire Cosmos Agents and almost all of the Low Sec Empire Cosmos Agents. Yeah, I had some problems with a few Agents but it wasn’t major, only one Agent was completely broken and a couple more just needed a little nudge from CCP to become active.
What really bugs me is how some people will talk about stuff that they have no experience with, will blow things completely out of proportion and intentionally misrepresent the facts in an attempt to prove themselves right…
