Yes.
But with the fact that 90% of the forums either want "Make this like EVE", or "This is OP, FIX IT! (But how do you think its OP) IDK, Its just OP!", or Just ***** about CCP regardless, Its amazing anything from these forums is useful, or helpful, or insightful into the games issues.
Half of the Threads now are "Y U NO GIIVE PACH NOTE CCP?", or like the 2nd example from above, the good points about things that are OP, or UP, or broken just gets sifted to the bottom of the pile while troll posts, and whiny bitches get brought to the top.
This is a issue pervasive in all online games. He who offends more people, and gets more replies wins.
Or, good threads with the possibility for good discussion get killed because the OP refuses to renegotiate his idea.
I think Saberwing and Logibro are the two remaining Community Devs, the rest are just getting stuff finished and ready for 1.8.
Maybe CCP Devs have a life. Sorry to say, but I mean, seriously. They probably test the game in Studio, and they work on it, so maybe we should stop with the "Play you game!" ****. Movie Directors don't constantly watch their movie. Chefs don't eat only their Le Cordon Bleu. People have lives outside of their job, and Its annoying how much people don't want to recognize this.
They treat us like five year olds because if they tell us anything, we act like five year olds. Look on the GD page. Just look. They DARE tell us something, and they get flamed, and pissed on. That's why you don't get told changes. That's why they treat us like five year olds. Because we act like five year olds when we're told anything.
Hate to admit it, but this is basically right. 40 hours a week. That's our average work week...how many of us damn near PLAY that much...but don't have enough work to leave the game to go and do? It's exactly that. They have to put it together.
I do feel that there should be a test server. Make Oceania a testing ground. I bet people would come riding in from all around the world to say "nonononono" or "YESSSSSS!" to any of the changes.
Look at successful free-to-play models, like League of Legends. This doesn't move in on their turf, so copy some of their good ideas.
In regards to the entitlement of the masses...well, whatever. People aren't going to change their tune just because someone is being reasonable. We'll keep grouching and moaning. However, if the setup and delivery of this service were to change, DUST may have a brighter future than it appears to now.
Hi! Gosh, I've missed you...with every bullet, plasma shot, rail gun, and missile.
