This is a bad move , to simplify this game is a major flaw in the thought process . The reason why you have the player base that you do , that's the type to be loyal in their feedback and attitude towards this game is because it's like nothing else on the market as of yet and it has it's own backdrop , in it's own universe , with it's own unique weapons and physics / mechanics , in simplifying this you make it like others on the market with only a few distinctions and you still loose in the " teaching / information " category which is a major problem in-game .
Making things similar is a easy and lazy way to fix a problem of informing new and current players , also it takes a major attraction from the game which made it stand out from the rest and that's the fact that different weapons function differently with their profiles , you have to think about combo's to approach different threats which is more along the lines of a RW problem , people say that , " this is not the Real World " but if your trying to get that game emulsification you have to help to create that feeling like , " Hey , I'm really here and I'm doing this and this must be done to find this result ." ... That's what make games like The Witcher , World Of Tanks and many others that have their own lore , they get you involved in " Their Universe " and different things act differently , which produce different results .
This overall " vanilla-ing " of this game wil be it's downfall because your taking away it's main feature and killing New Eden in the process because nothing but what's on paper will make it stand out , when you get on the ground ... nothing will stand out and different weapons will have similar features and produce similar results , nothing will stand out anymore .
Where will the attraction be now ?
You just can't get beyond the fact the a few more weapons need to be developed and just the fact that there are only two heavy weapons but four races with their own heavy , just lacks the enhancement of development .
This just like the new vehicles will be nothing special but in names alone , you can't just place new skins on existing vehicles and say , " This is a Amarr HAV / Minmatar ."... because I see a Caldari or Gal HAV in-front of me . Just like trying to change the mechanics of existing weapons to catch the feeling of other races that don't have .
The attempt is nice but it just seems lazy and rushed / thrown together , to keep from addressing the real issue of not having all the tools needed to get a quality result .
Not a knock because you guys will do this regardless so I really don't understand " feedback " ... it's nice to hear what others think but to do nothing about concerns leave nothing accomplished by the community .
Just can't get around the fact the every race needs their own weapons / vehicles and not copy and paste creations .
Edit : This just seems like another case of forgoing the existing problems to include a new game mechanic that will take away from the sandbox play , we need the problems that are present erased before we introduce some or any new mechanic that's not needed like new weapons , weapons and vehicle content is a must and must be done because it's a priority that's along the lines of existing issues ( Terrain glitches and Bugs & such ) , these issues must be addressed to help make this game complete .
Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

This is a frightening statement.
I've seen several times over the past couple years the mmo players that were brought here from other games get left in the lurch in favor of appeasing fps players that will either complain every time anything changes, or else will just move on to the next big thing whenever destiny/the new cod/bf/whatever the hot shooter is.
You've done some nice things to help with that, like missions and market, but it seems only if both the fps and the mmo groups are in agreement about needing it. Otherwise the fps group has more say by default, and if something needs to get cut its mmo bits.
Why? mmo players are long term players, and have a track record of long term players.
We also dont take issue with throwing some cash in regularly/somewhat regularly.
New players coming from fps's are more likely to leave when another shinier fps comes out, and are harder to sell the idea of a long term game.
Mmo players find an mmo they love and play it for several years or until theyve done "everything".
We are an easy sell for the long term game, but not when we watch you brush us aside so many times.
Especially for a crowd that's notorious for a short attention span.
This got a little long-winded sry about that.
I appreciate your opinion but these comments are wrong on so many levels , # PCMASTERRACE ... that type of thinking is bias and so outdated , it's like those who claim that they were quitting EVE because Dust 514 went to the console instead of the PC first , yes ... that was their major player base but it's always good for a business to branch out and make their presence known in different areas as to attract more attention , more revenue and help others understand who's developing quality games .
This type of thinking is so counterproductive , if you people get mad about such business decisions then it's clear that your not so committed to begin with if one or two changes that will benefit marketing and the company in the long run , is implemented and you suddenly jump ship .
I for one being on a console would have never known anything about CCP if it wasn't for that chance that they took working with Sony and for that I am thankful . EVE has been out for years and I have a nephew who plays it but it's just not interesting to me . I know this isn't about Console v.s. PC but the wording in your comment can't help me but to feel it's along the same lines of foolishness .
