Most of my cheap **** which was originally outsourced to China has been re-outsourced to Mexico.
-íOl+¬!

@Midas, my growing partner is Mexican. Before going into farming, I was a cook for 15 years. Most of 'my people' are Mexican and Guatemalan.
I mention the racist thing because most of the people here are stupid children with no scope of reality and if you don't name a specific person they assume you're disparaging an entire race.

I've given CCP my time and the benefit of doubt for over a year. They've been at it even longer.
It's time to start pointing fingers and assessing blame if they hope to salvage this ship before it sinks. This game is on the verge of being forgotten rubbish if nothing is done.

Hey, whoa whoa, that's OUR word.

Firstly, the fact that you bring up race in the first place started your argument off in the wrong way. I don't believe that you are racist, but it is clear that you are implying that because a product is made in China it deserves less respect. The problem with the logistics of communication in another language across the globe is hardly a situation to criticize. Many companies making much more difficult things manage it just fine. You are a farmer; don't you think that that situation happens every time foreign crops are imported? We have the internet now. If you're going to say something say what you mean and mean what you say.

Also I am from Mexico, and I have been to China, and it would be a lie to say that a great deal of production based industries are not at the same level of technology or organization as those in the US and EU. The factor of course is money and part culture but rest assured that other countries are just as capable at producing capable developers and software producers. As someone said earlier in the thread, Shanghai is a modern, very up-to-date city. It is not a lone run-down "typical Chinese factory" that houses the office used to produce this game.

Ok, so of course it is being produced the way it is to conserve money, but that is not the reason that the game has its issues. I personally believe that most of the issues rise from CCPs inexperience with new game development as a whole, from the level of finance and marketing to lower-level management and bureaucracy. I honestly do not believe that CCP (in all locations) does not have talented/experienced programmers and staff but it is clear by their rollout of this game that they didn't know what they were diving in to. That doesn't mean that this game isn't good or going to be better, but CCP isn't quite Activision. You'll have to give them the benefit of the doubt and just as with EVE they'll figure it out and start delivering some quality stuff.

For anyone who wants to know the word 'guey' is used in the same way as 'dude' or 'mate' or 'bro'. It is not racist or offensive to Mexicans in any way but you might get strange looks if you use it.

In defense of CCP Shanghai, CCP Iceland isn't a whole lot better.

Wait, was that really a defense?
