The CPM can't really say much, just that things are still progressing. We've encouraged CCP to keep the community more informed.

Simply not true. DUST is doing pretty well, and I'm confident CCP isn't ready to throw in the towel on DUST.
Quote:Hopefully legion gets the go ahead and they announce it ASAP and use DUST as a beta (I know its a different system and developing for two could be a pain but until Legion is ready for alpha or beta stages DUST could be used to test concepts) this gives dust a purpose and may draw some players back but most importantly it would give the community hope that legion will be better than dust.
I would think, at the very least, lessons learned in continued iterations of DUST can be taken to heart for Legion development.

DUST's actually growing, technically.
As you said, don't hint at big things, and then... not deliver (that sounds nicer, doesn't it?) and that is what CCP is trying to avoid. By, you know, just not hinting at all. I find this as irritating as you do, because I think it's taking it a bit too far, but the point is, they learned that lesson. Maybe a bit too well. The current way CCP is doing things, is to say things once they can deliver.
From my personal view, it's good marketing to release tidbits periodically to maintain interest and demonstrate progress. I'd also definitely like CCP to commit to certain investments being preserved for players, even if they don't know the final form it will take.
