Development may be all over the place, but CCP is still my favorite group of developers.
First: let's compare them to EA. I don't even need to explain anything.

Now, let's look at Gaijin: developers of War Thunder, one of CCP's biggest rivals in the free to play market.
Gaijin devs are just assholes. They monitor threads on their feedback forum, and then decide which threads can even be seen. They aren't removing threads here, they're stopping them from being posted in the first place.
If you post something they don't like, no matter how you right it, they make sure the rest of the community never sees it.

Most of what they're blocking is blatant, nonsensical imbalance. I can understand one vehicle being historically better than the others, but they mess with non-historical stats (such as cost), so that American and Russian vehicles are the best choice. Funny, because that's where their studios are at.
They also like to change their excuses for tweaking historical stats. Sometimes they say "This is a game, fun is more important than accuracy", while other times it's "This is a simulator game, accuracy is more important than balance"; again, usually this is used to **** over the axis in some way or another.
Recently, they even added a physics update that managed to cause all german tanks to start glitching up and taking damage from even slightly bumpy terrain, yet every other country was fine.


TL;DR, at least CCP isn't greedy like EA, or incredibly biased and forum-censoring like Gaijin.
