Dude, there were 3 minutes between the post being created, and you making a joke about CCP not responding...that's not even funny anymore.
#1- It was never funny to begin with
#2- You (collectively) did it to yourselves. |

Rouge Wedding was the final attempt to sell the majority of the EVE playerbase on Dust. They responded with a resounding "no thanks".
Speculation breeds money stuffs into CCPs wallet.
Tight lip-edness serves no purpose in regards to a port. A port would generate money stuffs.
Tight lip-edness serves a major purpose in regards to no port. No port would stop the generation of money stuffs.
To (kind of) quote the magical teachings of Creedence Clearwater Revival-
"When the first couple generations of Dust mercs went away
They said try to be a man
And someday
You'll understand" |

Lol
We didn't.
Maybe THIS community did something to deserve the silence they are getting. But I doubt it. |

Summa Militum wrote:Did you ever stop to wonder whether or not the community collectively brought this silence upon themselves?
After some thought (after letting this post irk me) I've decided to address said post (anew).
Did we bring the silence upon ourselves?
Well let's see. After living the "soon tm" meme for a good year, after being trolled by Devs about upcoming features and changes, after all the glitches and bugs, mounds and mounds of glitches and bugs (some of which you still deal with today), after massive and seemingly random swings in the balance of the game from month to month with no progress what so ever towards the goal of overall balance, after CCP actively pumping up the forums for months about FF14s big announcement for Dust, and after that announcement being about 35 seconds of "aside from a few patches for stability sake, all work on Dust will end, buy a PC and get ready for Hi Res Dust (Project Legion)", after Dust players flew out to whatever God awful country whose name escapes me to attend FF14 for a solid gut punch, and after the Devs had nothing but smart mouth, butthurt comments for the playerbase in the ensuing forum rage........gee I don't know.
Did we bring the silence upon ourselves Summa? Or more accurately, did we bring the silence upon the current playerbase? What do you think Summa? What's your "hot take" on the matter?
The f*cked up part about all of what I just listed (and there is plenty more) is that if CCP didn't pull the whole Project Legion stunt, and did everything else exactly the same, a majority of those who left would not have left. And aside from the every day forum b*tching (this is the internet, it's unavoidable) there would have been no massive forum rage, no list of biomassed mercs.
Being a business, I understand their goal is to make money. They obviously felt the right move at the time was to gear up for Legion. We all know now it wasn't. The problem was the grimey, underhanded, downright sh*tty way they went about it. In the months before FF14 they were pushing aurum and packs HARD. Like really hard. While at the same time flaunting the gigantic, mysterious Dust announcement to come. Let's all remember that the official word on the transfer of anything from Dust to Legion was "........uuuuuhhh........*cough*.......we uuuuuhhhh......we'll see".
So I don't know Summa. Did we bring the silence upon ourselves? You tell me. |

Was that the "quite a bit" you said "f*ck it about? I really hope there was suppose to be more than that.
Over demanding self entitled blanks? Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Seeing as how CCP was still touting their "10 year road map" and "laser focused on PS3" literally up until the day of FF14. They were indeed crucified for the Project Legion debacle, and rightfully so. They wanted money, and they got money, and they did it in about the sh*ttiest way possible.
You really need to elaborate on how the solution to a majority of the games problems can be solved by the playerbase, because that's just a bland generic comment that says nothing without some kind of facts or even suggestions to back it up. The playerbase is to stupid to realize they can fix the game? I mean, yeah. I'm pretty sure a majority of the playerbase has no knowledge of how to write code for a game, not sure of any other way it could be fixed. Unless you are suggesting everyone holds hands and thinks happy thoughts, but I don't think you ment either one of those things. Would really like some more info on that.
Lastly, I've accepted silence as the norm, come on, it's CCP. Heck I haven't played in well over a year and a half. I'm in the final stage of my Dust career, the stage where I just hop on the forums from time to time and troll. It's kinda like when Jedis get killed and come back as advice giving ghosts, just a little more mean spirited. On the whole insanity front, that comment was pretty ironic. It may be hard to see from the inside looking out, but the current playerbase (you included Summa) are indeed repeating the same task over and over. Individuals aren't repeating the same task over and over, but multiple/separate generations of Dust mercs are repeating the tasks of previous generations. It's a revolving door designed to make CCP money. Again, I can't knock a business making money, but I Caan knock how they make it. |
