Seems players forget that when WiS was first proposed, the vast majority of the playerbase liked the ideas. It was only after CCP’s terrible implementation and development allocation faceplants began that eve players realized the core game was at risk and rightly demanded CCP refocus on spaceships-only.
If - IF - they do WiS right it would be fine. IMO it’s very likely to happen under PA and the chances of it being done right greatly increased by what CCP has (hopefully - hey, it could happen) learned and what direction PA might wish to go.
