There IS a plan, and with new leadership comes new goals and ideals. Without hearing this plan for yourselves, it is understandable for you to have doubts.
Until we hear this plan for ourselves, there is nothing CCP could say that would allay our concerns for the future of the title.
Until CCP decides that the people who play this game deserve to have some idea of where the game is going and a rough estimate of how long it might take for certain things to be done, then the community will remain as toxic and cynical as it has become.
I stopped playing Eve because I grew sick of hearing SoonGäó instead of a real plan, and that same attitude will eventually drive me from Dust.
If CCP wants us to accept that they have a plan, they should provide some info. If CCP wants a community that isn't waiting for things that are not coming, maybe they should come out and say that item X,Y, and Z are off the table.
For myself, I have no faith in CCP, nor will I become some optimist based on some words posted on a forum. If CCP wants to wait to fanfest to release a small amount of info, expect that I will be laughing my ass off when the community freaks out.
There are very few developers who can get away with saying "We will release info when it is ready, and the product when it is ready" and have people place faith in them. CCP is not one of those companies. They have a long track record of completely crapping the bed, so betting on them to succeed is a surefire way to end up broke.
I am going to give CCP until Fanfest to get their house in order. By the end of fanfest, if there is not substantial changes to the way CCP informs the playerbase of where development stands and where it is heading, I'm out. I have invested more than enough time and money into this game. If CCP spends fanfest getting hteir egos stroked and saying SoonGäó, I'll gladly biomass all my characters and forget that I ever played a CCP product.
A developer that produces substandard software and then has the audacity to act as if what they are working on and its progress are nuclear secrets is the type of developer that does not deserve my respect, my time, or my money.
Mr. Hybrid Vayu.
