It all comes down to what resources are available for this to happen. The core Dust team is like.....3 dudes. They get assists from other people in the company but the core development team is extremely small, so big changes to core systems (which as you can imagine is a shitload of work) is going to take a lot of manpower to pull off, and manpower is not exactly what Rattati has at the moment.
So while yes, there are core issues that should be fixed; they may be out of the scope of what can be done readily.

The past doesn't speak highly of the future, unless the cash grabs are actually in place to provide a better future? Unfortunately with out transparency and communication the majority of vets have not or will not continue to support Dust...
Right, totally no transparency or communication at all. This is shown by the roadmap released for Dust (which has never been done in the company before), a rather aggressive push to collect community feedback via the forums and new Trello board, and the fact that we had CCP Rattati come onto our Biomassed Podcast this past Sunday to talk about patch 1.10, the reasoning behind the changes, as well as discuss the future of Dust. Totally no transparency or communication at all.

Totally no transparency or communication at all. No offense but it's pretty sad if you see that as transparency for the "future" step out of your fanboyism and take a good look at the actual statistics that will influence Dusts life expectancy out side of a few post-it notes copied over to trello...
The bitter is strong in you...
But that's fine, I think I was called "CCP's most Optimistic Victim" when I told me to think positive about the future and they insisted that we would get nothing more out of Dust. And then 24 hours later 1.10, 2.0, and 2.1 was announce, so yeah...
It just goes to show that some people will never be satisfied no matter what happens. Even if they get what they want they'll come up with something else to complain about. That's whats really sad.

The fact that you're summarizing an entire community as "they" goes to show that your opinion is incredibly biased. If those months of post-it notes are enough for you, I'm happy for you.. Although I think the numbers speak for themselves and will continue to speak more volume then the supposed open door trello board.. I'm not denying it's a step in the right direction but like I said in another thread it seems to be Rattati's way of spoon feeding the community before the life line is pulled.. With lil transparency I think the majority of vets who aren't blinded by the light of Rattati can see through the BS that it is..
The fact that you assume everyone in the community is as bitter as you goes to show that your opinion is incredibly biased.
When I say "they" I mean people who are so embittered that they can't seem to find any hope for the future of the game. I don't think that's everyone in the community. Hell I don't even think it's a majority.

I never generalized, assumed or even used the word bitter the facts you keep blindly missing are the actual numbers regardless of your optimistic patches and road map that you seem to put on a pedestal like it's the saving grace of Dust.. Numbers continue to decline they have since Fanfest where there has been no transparency for Legion or Dust and very little core issues resolved. If the "majority" felt as you do that yearly graph would be slowly climbing not slowly falling.. I wish you and your self claimed majority the best of luck with the continued months of hot fixes, strong boxes and rave like colored tracers, those will save the game for sure!!! Just keep buying Aurum!
Out of curiosity. Why are you still here if you have no hope for the game?
