Great OP, but it doesn't touch upon the real issue we have with CCP.
CCP constantly says what we want to hear then at the last minute - does something else. Pilot suit gets announced with bombers we were even given stats - then no word of it for years. When Dust was still in full running we couldn't trust a single thing about any update they said, even PC was not what they said it would be. No BPO's, market, closer EvE connections, all of it was a load of crap months later.
I also disagree completely that it's the correct move to keep quiet mouthed about a format change, it's the opposite, if they sincerely believe Dust has a future then they need to get more people interested in it, not keep it on a small bounce until the numbers rise through small updates every few months. That's them literally relying on word of mouth to grab interest in a game that already showed people to go the other way, I can't view that as anything but silly.
Fanfest this year did one thing - assured me that CCP has no idea what they're doing and is a company for a smaller group of people then most gaming companies because they simply can't get a long with there consumers.
Next time I see Omega Boosters on the market I'm going to ask myself if Dust is closing next week, because that's the sort of trash CCP has shown us they'll do to this community.
Never forget Fanfest 2014, that wasn't a mistake, that was us getting spit on by a company that doesn't care.

Please don't think that vast resources are being spent on it. They're most certainly not.
That said Samsung really dig the game as an example of what then GearVR can do. I'd keep an eye on it. Really Kevall, i'm sure it's just a project on the side that may or may not turn into something wonderful and i'm not going to tell CCP how to run their business. but you of all people must see the dissonance in this right? After what CCP Wolf or whatever shared with the world about how CCP's leadership works, I wouldn't be surprised if they lack any real cohesions even inside projects themselves.
may World of Darkness RIP.

It is hard to believe, from the outside, but the current lack of communication does make sense at this point. That's what we're told every year by someone or another on these forums, trust in CCP - it'll all make sense eventually.
We wouldn't be here posting if there wasn't some semblance of trust or care, it's not that we don't want to stick around and keep supporting this game we love for god knows why - but that a track record has shown how unreliable CCP statements are and how low credibility there words have.
And they've done nothing to show that they're doing anything to change since Fanfest. They're actually doing the opposite by being even mouth closed mouth about Legion.
Any news at all about Legion would decide the fate for a lot of us continuring to be here or preparing to move on to Legion, but CCP can't even give us that.
They're down right insulting to there consumers who they'll farm with omega boosters but not inform them of there game being nearly cancelled before putting the more expensive and popular real life purchases back on the market.
What CPM1 needs to do is what OP did for a bit there - guide the communities thinking in the direction CCP wants/needs but can't communicate the necessity themselves. If CCP is seriously going to put us on life support with our own money then we should have more right to what's being developed and planned, anyways.

When CCP can make a reliable statement, they will. You read me wrong, CPM statements aren't even CCP statements, you're closer to there half truths and giving us riddles to play with. Which is why you have the ability to guide our thoughts without breaking NDA to get the info CCP needs.
In the end, the statements don't need to come now from CCP on anything major - they said so themselves, Dust is stable right now economcally, however, it's now done through the players wallet and not CCP's.
So I think it's time CCP puled there walls down a bit - especially if they want a reputation to continue to build games with and explore new genre territory with CCP tag.
Word of mouth with EvE already is CCP is a crappy company, that's all i heard when I first heard of Dust and spoke to it of friends. Dust will be in the same boat but much worse, it won't have a competitive edge of being the only type of game in it's market.
So CCP can't be so damn slow like they were with EvE - the market for FPS and Console consistently evolves every 8 to 12 months.
CCP's earlier concept of grabbing people who buy the cheap PS3 and wanting to not invest much so they get Dust worked - I know it has, HvLP recruited a ton of people who told me that's why they play Dust and are glad it's around with the chat channels - so if CCP wants Dust to continue to be just that, a fall back game for players so they can squeez a few pennies out of PS3 with low efficiency budget - then just say so. I'd probably enjoy my time in Dust more casually if I stopped hoping for a future.

CPM has incredibly capable players on board, most of which are on this thread speaking to us.
and they have plenty of supporters of there own helping them out who are all very capable, Kain, Leather, ect.
I've no real complaints about the current CPM, even Zatara is pulling through.
I feel for you guys, CCP mistakes highlight you guys negatively and put a stain in your effort to improve things.
I sincerely hope a lot of you guys make it for another term, like Kevall and Cross.
It's a shame Judge can't be replaced with a more aggressive speaker to the community, though.
