For every second a dev has to take their time to respond to a repeat thread (this is a repeat thread btw) of the same topic that was addressed already by another dev not too long ago, is every second not spent working on game to improve it or at least every second not spent putting together the dev blog. If you want the Dev Blog out sooner rather than later, then please stop bothering the devs over it and let them finish it. You aren't entirely untrue, but I submit a rebuttal: If I told my customers that I will have something done soon(TM). That I will be updating them, but I will not be telling them WHEN I will be updating them. Well, I'd be written up (or fired if this was a reoccurring problem) and I'd have no one to blame but myself.
Counter-point: If you did tell them WHEN and WHAT and were unable to meet the aforementioned deadline due to, oh I don't know, your staff quitting or a production clusterduck like having a machine break and parts take two weeks to get, how happy do you think they'd be?
Work in manufacturing, your patience with this kind of 'development' will be longer than prolly anyone else you'll meet.
This is why they give us SOON and crap like that, because they most likely either don't know, or don't want to deal with the poopstorm we've been known to unleash at the drop of a hat about anything.
Also, Shanghai is still just horribly understaffed for what they need to do : /

The customer would be upset, yes. Build risk buffers into your project plan. Parts might be late? Add two days. Mechanical failure? Add a week. If you deliver earlier than the projected date no one will be upset. (This is project planning 101, by the way)
Good, so you do understand it.
The crap part is communication/transparency between us and CCP is....lacking. Because patience and understanding are clearly something we don't have.
Which leads to us arguing semantics on the eff'in forums.
I agree that this 'mums the word' de facto policy has got to go, but I understand why spamming the forums for info is bad (read signature) so I'll just smile and nod, like the rest of us end up doing.
And wait.
And wait.
And omg, PLAY THE GAME.
And wait.
Does waiting suck? Yes
Should we be waiting? prolly not.
Is that going to change? not until they get some work done.
Woof.

Between replying to the shitposts on the forums, and community tickets, and technical support, and then relaying all the important **** to the Devs that are working on the game, the Community Devs don't exactly have a fuckton of time to write a long Dev blog that tells you what you demand. Being a CCP apologist doesn't get them off their ass, keeping their feet to the coals will. And this is why the vast majority of developers don't seem to interact very often with their communities. The communities are full of assholes. So calling the devs out for information is being an *******? Good one. Until the devs give us solid data on a consistent basis and actually try to discuss changes with us (even through the CPM, I don't care what the interface is so long as there is an actual dialogue) I will continue to demand accountability for a game I've paid money for and would like to do again in the future. As it is, I stopped playing after the 'mouse overhaul' ruined my gaming experience and refuse to play without proper mouse support. You can be critical to CCP if you like. I'm sometimes critical too especially on the nova knives and scout suits, but I don't go out and be a genitalia about it. I post my criticism in the most meaningful and constructive way possible. Just take a look at JudgeRhadamansus' critique on dropships and redline rail tanks. His video on YouTube was so well thought out and detailed that CCP responded to it and said that the video is excellent and being forwarded to the appropriate dev team. Now compare that to a rant or just general douche baggery. Almost no response for those except maybe a lock by the GM.
Zyrus is french (yes I didn't capitalize it on purpose), what do you expect?
