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.

Never post while you are hungry man. I believe they are trying to make PC more accessible to all players. 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.

There's some manner of balance to this. If you only develop new features, but don't fix bugs, then you build a very poor quality game. But if you focus only on bug fixing, and you don't add new gameplay, players will just get bored and leave. You have to be working on both.

And some problems are easier to fix than others too. CCP has knocked out a lot of big pet peeves in recent builds, but obviously, there's plenty more to do. The biggest challenge with hunting bugs is how much time you might invest in trying to figure it out, and still fail to solve it. Things like that can give the impression you're doing nothing, when you might be working on it.

That's a bad way to go about solving frame rate problems. You don't remove graphics to increase frame rates. What needs to be done is further optimize the graphics. This is not to be confused with upgrading graphics as they are not the same thing. They are mutually exclusive from each other. Optimizing allows you to get more stability and better frame rates using the same quality graphics. This can be done in any number of ways. Cutting down on unnecessary polygons, refining the Level of Detail (LOD) for an object that is a certain distance from you, stopping the rendering of objects you're not seeing, etc.

Removing grass or leaving us with a plain sky won't help if the Gallente Research Facility still needs fixing.

EDIT: The processing of the files containing the graphics helps too.
