Imagine being sixteen years old and having your license; you wish you had a car, but you don't have one yet. You wish you had a car so you can go about and do whatever your heart desires, but for now you're cooped up in the house simply living in the same old rut that is your life. As fortune may have it, one day your parents come into your room and tell you that they have gotten you a brand spanking new 2014 Honda Civic Si VTEC for you! You're excited, you just can't believe it, you're getting a car when a thought slips into your mind "when do I get this car?" You ask your parents anxiously when will you actually get the car, and they respond with they have a few details to work out, but you'll get sometime in the near future. Satisfied with the answer you wait.
and wait...
and wait...
A few weeks have passed and you timidly ask your parents again, "so, when am I getting the car?" They respond with a resolute "soon, be patient." So you wait.
and wait...
and wait...
At this point your patience is wearing thin, you're ready to be free from the rut that is your life, to finally do what you want to do but alas still no car. You assume your parents are finalizing those "details" they informed you of. You try and listen in on phone calls that you assume are with the dealership but to no avail. You even try and weasel information out of your older sister hoping that maybe she can glean some information from your parents, but she simply shrugs and tells you she guesses it's coming soon.
The only thing on your mind at this point is "where is my f****** car?!"
I could list the ways how we Amarr are better than you, but your lesser mind wouldn't comprehend it.

That's a car though, and actually worth something. This is Dust, and it's worth... well.
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

The garage opens, and it's a rusted out '88 Buick Celebrity Stationwagon. All original, right down to the oil.

Gotta love it when you nail DUST's hide to the door and someone says you're obsessed and should go play outside.

I'd liken it to waiting for admission to grad programs. You're supposed to hear about it sometime in March (but you don't know when) and the news may be good...or not.

It is like Christmas when you have poor parents, and the presents have not even been put under the tree yet. We have to have faith that we will be getting presents. The pessimists among use are expecting cool at this point.

When that awaited day comes your dad throws you some keys and says "Give it a try sport", excited you rush outside to realize the keys your dad gave you don't fit in your new car. You turn to him and ask "Is it broken?" Without a reply he pulls out another set of keys from his pocket and opens your new car; he gets inside and drives off saying "yours is in the garage!" Confused you open the garage door to see your fathers old beat up 20 year old minivan with a note saying you'll get mine Soon TM.
For the Federation!

CCP, your community is expressing, in heartfelt terms, the anguish and frustration we feel with your lack of communication.
Who exactly has placed this gag order? What is the intended purpose of the information blackout?
If the OP's parents came to his door and said" got you a car, it's on the way, expected delivery is 12March but we are working on the financing, Sony approval, insurance and a few other bugs so it could be delayed a week". It would be easier to deal.
But, instead THIS is how you decide to grow your game and engender faith and goodwill amongst your players.
Is this your 'Marketing Director's idea of how to build excitement and suspense?? Not good. Really not good |

Ever since Uprising I have lost my ability to imagine new patches will fix much of anything.
Waiting to be pleasantly surprised.
