With a few exceptions that I have found so far in the console gamers community, this best describes how many Eve pilots see the "console kiddies". This was reinforced after the first night of being on Team comms.

Dust is new. Eve is coming on 10 years of live history. Is it any surprise at all that Dusters are looked upon as "stoopid newbies"? Hell, some of us veteran Eve players got demoted to "stoopid newbies" just for being interested in this side of the game.
The difference between the console gamer and the PC gamer is already large. The difference between the "immediate gratification" of the console gamer and the "stack of notebooks/ sea of spreadsheets" of the Eve gamer sometimes seems like a different game altogether. In spite of the spreadsheets Eve is a brutal and unforgiving environment. It is complex and tactical, and a single decision can indeed have repercussions that my not be felt for years. Is there a console game to date where your action extend beyond the "right now"?
Dusters will earn respect within the Eve community when they can not only take, but hold their own territory. Right now it isn't possible within game mechanics. Some Dust corps that have moved over from various FPS games have potential. Some seem to realize that your gungame is actually a small part of corporation success. Most FPS folks I have run across look at me like I'm crazy. Guess what, you're always going to be a foot soldier. Good for you, your corp can issue medals. When Dust corps take and hold their own, then respect will be earned. |

Dust Mercs are the baby, and the lion is EvE players, just waiting to be unleashed upon the mercs to slaughter them?
Can't wait to see EvE pilots' responses when boarding is introduced.
Me either. It will probably start with station boarding, but still. Did you see the smirks on the Devs faces when ship boarding got asked about?

It is feasable, and it has obviously been tossed around the CCP staff meetings more than once. Implementation is a long way off if it happens at all, but it is feasable and CCP made it clear that if it is what the Eve/Dust community wants to happen.. they already have a plan.

LONG, LONG, LONG way away. How long have they been taking with WIS? last I saw was a guided tour demo like two years ago.
I never saw the benefit of station walking within Eve. The benefit of walking in stations serves no purpose but to let people gather socially in the station bar to impress eachother with their Aurum suits. Without personal interaction, what other purpose does station walking present?
I would guess that CCP was experimenting into adding a social interaction element into Eve that involved "face to face" gathering. What other purpose does station walking serve? What other purpose is there to fancy clothes that cannot be seen in the portraits?
It has not been a priority because the community has not made it a priority. Boarding ships is a whole hell of a lot more fun than gladhanding in the Jita 4-4 bar. The upside for CCP is that all the work that has been done on station walking will not be a waste after all.
Agreed though. it is a loooong way out.
