Perhaps the mechanics, combat, etc is in fact well balanced. After all, CCP understand best what everything's place and role is, and how they can be best implemented and countered. Perhaps the problem lies with us the players, for failing to employ tactics, fits, squads, communication, etc effectively. The races are asymmetrical after all, each one having its own strengths and weaknesses. Similar to StarCraft. However, if say players in StarCraft were not effectively utilizing one of the races, then it would be easy to simply claim that they were unbalanced, when this is not the case. Any perceived in-balances should drive the community innovate and flourish in the face of new found challenges. |

There is a basic problem balancing a team based game that includes a preponderence of solo players.
I don't know if you can label that a player caused problem or not. |

I think this answer will always be yes and no. As a developer by day, I can say some things sound fantastic on paper and are horrible once implemented. Also, from working in the IT field, I have limited resources and time available to testing. Why yes, I do think thousands of people are going to find more bugs than my small team can, especially on sheer load testing. While at the same time, you have a user base of all skill ranges crying at every single patch when things are not in their favor.
However, I think those of us players that are chill can see things for what they really are. I might be disappointed by a few things, but I'm certainly not going to cuss at CCP and rage quit like a 12 year old.

You're right. CCP are well known those finely-balanced multiplayer FPS games they've been making all these years.
A company with the vast experience of building first-person experiences like... uhhhh... EVE Online?... are certainly more trustworthy when it comes to matters of balance than a group of dedicated players who are experienced with a variety of competitive FPS games spread out over decades and multiple platforms.
EDIT: Please don't take this post too seriously, I'm joking. |

Yes.
Why?
Because not everyone on the forums has good opinions or ideas.
Because not everyone here knows how to balance a game.
Because we may be leading CCP down the wrong path. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
