I alluded to this in another thread. If I were a dev I wouldn't exactly be foaming at the mouth to interact with a playerbase that continuously belittled and berated me and what I was doing with an onslaught of negativity and pessimism while not really offering anything constructive. I'd rather just knuckle down and do my job. Many in the community lack empathy and forget that the devs are people too and that they are doing a job just like everyone else and if these people claim that they would be fine with visiting a community full of hatred and vile on a regular basis for their job, I call BS.
Seriously, "CCP sucks...CCP fail, DUST is dead, what a joke,.......errr...CCP come talk to me!"  Yeah Ok...

Seriously, "CCP sucks...CCP fail, DUST is dead, what a joke,.......errr...CCP come talk to me!" Yeah Ok... Yes....but....if CCP fixed glaring issues faster than once a year and told us things or allowed devs or the CPM to tell us things, then we wouldnt be so angry and bitter. It helps to see ur at least trying and the current way they do things makes a lot of ppl upset. If it wasnt for the loyal fans of this game that have foresight, this game would be dead. Something CCP needs to really realize because not even us loyalists are going to stick around for many more ballkicks, in exchange for a promise of paradise.
Seriously, CCP's interaction with its community is the best I've seen in the industry. While they're not here every single day whispering sweet nothings into the community's ear, they drop by and give updates from time to time and CCP Logibro and Saberwing do a fantastic job of being the link. And really, it's only been over the past 3 months that info's been super scarce and I imagine that's attributed to much of what Saberwing mentioned, namely the appointment of a new EP and clustered holidays.
There's work to be done communication wise; CPM1 needs to be developed into more of an analytical conduit of well thought out community feedback and opinion and the info/feedback loop needs to be refined but spitting acid and being a grumpy ******* full of scorn just isn't productive. Anyone who is being honest with themselves and puts themselves in that position where all they are getting for their efforts is vitriol should be able to see this. As I said, if I were a CCP dev I certainly wouldn't be motivated to come into these forums.
