Problems

FW issues are well-known and acknowledged by CCP, and moreover many very concrete suggestions have been made by the players and previous CSM. Yet FW still hasn't seen any improvements since its launch almost a year ago. This is extremely demoralizing for many pilots which have engaged in FW and found themselves plagued by bugs and lacking game mechanics. It is not showing a good face of EVE to the new players, which receive immediate access to FW as part of the boxed version of EVE, either. Many players fear that FW will turn into another COSMOS - an overhyped feature that is rushed out in an incomplete state and subsequently left to die.

CCP's previous answers to the CSM have been weak and not reasonably concrete, either not showing any sign of commitment, or simply being ignored (Alliances in FW).

Solutions

Prioritize the suggestions, which have been made by the previous CSM and at fanfest, as well as on the forums. They are on the table. They are ready to be put to the game design crew.
