I donGÇÖt think the guys that made the decision on how to announce Legion had any idea that the DUST community would react like that. Rouge knew, but they did not listen to him. The guys at CCP head office had been listening to EVE players complain for years that DUST should be on PC, so they probably expected everyone to be thrilled. #outoftouch
I do expect we will hear a lot more about Legion at the next Fan Fest. I was hoping for something at EVE Vegas, but I am not holding my breath.

The biggest thing in 1.9 is the new maps, but those maps were pulled from a previous patch at the last minute because they were not quite done, then shelved when they shifted to working on Legion, so they must have been almost done. Taking them off the shelf and finishing them off would not have taken an immense amount of Dev time, and is a lot of bang for the buck.
Which is to say, most of the Dev time is still focused on Legion, but DUST may be able to borrow some Dev time if it continues to do well and there is something that is worth doing.

Yes, that probably required a bit of Dev time, since it would require some interface changes, but I expect they kept it simple. Keep in mind though that Faction Warfare was designed around the premise that we would be able to sell Salvage on the open market. Without that, FW produced no ISK. So a way to sell Salvage was one of their highest priority items that needed to be added to DUST. Again, it was a really big Bang for the Buck.
So, yes, they did redirect some Dev time from Legion to work on DUST, but only on the stuff that would have the most positive impact for the least amount of effort.
Rattati probably has to have a clear plan and a really strong business case to get approval to take a Dev off of Legion.
I would not worry about Legion development because of the 1.9 changes. The 1.9 stuff is only taking a small fraction of the DevGÇÖs time. And keeping DUST going strong helps make the case for Greenlighting Legion, as well as helping to finance it.
