Same here. Was the first thing that made me cringe as I watched the announcements.
One of the (many) things that stops me going back to WoW is the over complexity of levelling up a character these days, with endless variations on socketing and jewel crafting and gem empowering / levelling. The endless focus on adding more and more grindy ways to alter your stats as an excuse for new ‘content’.
While EVE is complicated in many ways, I think it’s complicated in the right ways at the moment. Throwing RNG into ship stats is not the right way imo.
