Those don't really count, in my opinion, since they don't change the meta of the game. People were fine with the old recticles, just more people wanted them different. Having 1 LS for the adv Cal Scout was fine, it's just more people didn't want to change their gameplay with an adv cal scout cause they didn't want to use a proto.

The changes they've been making have been changing the meta of the game drastically. My real question is 'Do they play their own game and do they see the effects of their changes if they do, in fact, play their own game'?

Look at the Bolt pistol. It can three shot, or four shot, ANYTHING on the board right now. Sure, they reduced the RoF, but it still does a metric ton of damage per shot, even without a damage mod or prof.

MLT gear is more on the terms of ADV/Proto gear for their price. Have they listened to the people that want MLT gear nerfed more? It took them what, 5 patches to put the Battle Academy back to what it was. Well, at least almost back to what it was.

Lets look at the meta as it is now:

Greater suit variety than ever before.

Greater weapon variety than ever before.

Such a crappy meta Rattati and Logibro have put together...

Before, there were no Logistics specialization. That was a greater variety.

Before, assault suits and commandos didn't have a 'You use this weapon because you get the bonus'

Right now, there is a right way and a wrong way to fit every single suit. If you can't see that, you're an idiot. Sorry, but you are.

If you can't see that, you're an idiot. Sorry, but you are. There's bonuses to every ship in EVE that make it a "Right Way" and a "Wrong Way" to fly the ship. I've also seen some damn good pilots ignore the bonuses applied and do amazing things with ships. Thing's that the DEVs never considered and changed gameplay for MONTHS. The Myrmidon gets a 7.5% bonus to armor rep per level, yet people shield thank them (or used to) all the time. Just because the bonuses exist, doesn't mean you need to use them all the time. You're a Min/Max'er, and that's fine(ish), but it's not the only way to play the game.
