The focus on end-game content like planetary conquest is baffling. CCP seems to be placing a lot of eggs in the PC basket and I'm not sure it will pay off for them as much as they think it will.
The hotfixes were more valuable to the playerbase than the entire EPIC - Planetary Conquest section of the trello roadmap.

If we want to keep players how about we fix the god damn game so it's playable for the majority and not the minority... Bolsh, look at Next Release 1.0, very bottom of the column: battle quality. Now, this is me speculating, but this could be improvements to things like framerate and hit detection. Time will tell, February is just around the corner.

We are 138 wrote:What I really want to know is what percent of PVE they have completed. CCP Rouge has said that PvE is not a feature that will be available in Dust 514. CCP might surprise us with PvE one day, but I would not hold your breath.
Honestly, I would not count on PvE until we have Eve: Legion.

It would improve NPE by allowing us to have tutorial missions and/or firing ranges. It would give mercs a break from constant public match grinding. It would be a godsend, truly.
Instead, we are getting PC enhancements... yippee skippy

Cavani1EE7 wrote:Ahh, the GD peasants  Says the man posting in GD 
Imagine a party host (CCP) asking his guests (the players) for their pizza toppings (updates, features, etc.). 12 of the guests say pepperoni, 8 want extra cheese, 3 want mushrooms, 1 weird guy wants black olives. The host can only afford to buy 5 pizzas (CCP Shanghai is a small dev team with limited resources).
So the host says, "Okay then, I've got 1 black olive pizza, 3 with mushrooms, and 1 with extra cheese. Got it!" The guests are confused, and rightfully so. Some of them will eat the pizza with the topping they didn't order, but it isn't at all what they wanted (corporations participate in PC because there is **** all else to do).
PC appeals to a group of specific large corporations that want to have territory wars. They do not represent the majority of Dust players. Why we are trying to appeal to them is what baffles me. We are appealing to the Black Olives and the Mushrooms of the party, when there are many more Pepperoni and Extra Cheeses.
EDIT: I don't believe that PC should be completely left out of development. I believe it should just be behind such things as PvE, additional maps, more weapons, missing racial vehicles, improving the new player tutorial.

The reason PC is only popular for big corps is because it's difficult for small corps to get in to, it's not for them not wanting to be. As a regular PC player, I truly hope these updates help more of a the player base get involved. PC is a rewarding experience (looking past the lag, which isn't easy) and should be the true pepperoni pizza of the dust experience. The updates to PC might very well make it accessible to small corporations, but I'm not entirely sure how. To maintain ownership of a district you will need ISK and a large enough fighting force to have a 16 player team available during many peak times. That's not something a small corp can pull off.
Maybe CCP has some magic that can make it possible.
But I'll draw your attention to the crowdsourcing trello board. Take a guess at what one of most voted on cards is... PvE. The highest rated PC card has HALF the votes of the PvE card. And that card's focus is more about getting PC's game mechanics explained in a single document, not overhauling the entire system.
