They were upset by the manner by which it was announced, the circumstances around the announcement, the severe lack of information about what was going on with DUST, the general lack of communication and the fact that Legion wasn't even greenlit yet.
If CCP had bothered to properly announce Legion and what it entails, lay out clear and consise plans about DUST -> Legion transition, as well as a tentative roadmap (all things that, you know, a competent developer would have done), most people would have been quite happy.
But no. CCP screwed things up badly, and most people reacted badly to it. Understandable in the context of the times... Well said. And now they have the stones to say their current silence is due to our frustration at how poorly Legion was announced.
Not just legion. They got slapped in the face by EVE players pretty much the exact same way as a result over the "walking in stations" fiasco with incarna and the leaking of a marketing newsletter detailing sh*t EVE players at large specifically do not want.
There have been more than one PR disaster that CCP has had to learn some hard lessons from.
To say that Legion was a singular event for them is not on the money. It was the straw that broke the camel's back, really. To date CCP hasn't figured out where the happy medium between sharing and over-promising is as a whole so they err on the side of caution from what we all see.
Now in my opinion as a player, I feel too cautious. I understand WHY as a CPM they are so cautious.
As both a player and a CPM I feel there is a better level of communication that can be had. We'll see what comes though. I'm hopeful that some things can be talked about more in the future.

More specifically the round table happened but no one made provisions to livestream it to the rest of us. So we all saw "welcome to the DUST keynote. We are doing legion now." *mic drop*
Now I'm obviously over-simplifying of course. But to the DUST players watching the feed, because no round table live feed?
All we saw was a mic drop.
I started laughing pretty much the instant i saw what was happening because i wasn't aware of a round table either.
