DUST Search - To those who came on-board with Dust...

As I read all the many threads about the farce of a Dust keynote, I am detecting a common theme. Many of you seem to be feeling like "CCP, this was a horrible way to communicate this. All you needed to do was X. Please don't F_ up like that again!" I can only surmise that you have entered the New Eden universe via DUST514 and haven't really kept track of CCP in its past decade. (Why would you.)

Others have said this in their own replies to the various threads, but I haven't detected any change in the common understanding, so I thought I'd make a thread just to point it out specifically. This is the way CCP does things. Ridiculously. Stupidly. Handling PR like they're in a competition to see how many customers they can p__s off. If you didn't come from Eve:Online you might not realize this, but CCP has been as intuitive as a turtle for over a decade now.

Have you read anyone's comment who used stereotypical quotes of an abused spouse or such things? That's what this is like, but it isn't just from the past 2-3 years of Dust development. CCP has been like this for a decade. CCP is not a young company still trying to figure out how to read and communicate with their customer base. If experience is the ultimate teacher, they've spent more hours in class than virtually any other company thrice their age. The only answer is either the whole staff, past and present, are on the asperger scale somewhere or they simply don't care to try to get better. The odds of it being the former is pretty freaking slim.

I welcome feedback, questions, etc, and for other Eve:Online vets to either support or challenge my post.

My main hope in posting this is that for those of you who are new customers of CCP will not build future expectations expecting a normal company's reaction and development, only to be let down a number of times in the coming 2-5 years. I'm hoping to help spare you from that wasted investment, involvement, and dedication. Go forward if you like, I'm not saying not to, just know what you can realistically expect from CCP. Do the research.

Do the research. i started playing eve right before incarna (a week after they announced dust). this was not my experience. the burn jita situation came from people being mad about eve becoming a pay to win type of a game, and i couldn't figure out how a monocle was going to win any fights. in my experience ccp has been playing it pretty straight with the community, but i've only been around for just under 3 years. but this is the end of my ccp experience. i accomplished what i set out to accomplish. i'm a pvp god, and i owned molden heath. dust is dead, and so is eatsbabies cienfuegos. .o7 eatsbabies cienfuegos steward of the renegade alliance.
