Not really.
All this says to me is that they don't want to say too much lest they shoot themselves in the foot all over again. And I think they have enough holes on their feet already.

And I think they have enough holes on their feet already. Come on, they could do anything and you would support them. You are a died in the wool CCP devotee. The Shanghai studio could be closed down, and you would be telling people to be patient, that they just needed some time to reorganize, and then they would hit a home run.
Again not really. I do support them on many things, but often times I can be extremely rough on them like 100-grit sandpaper. And if you think I'm a CCP devotee, to some extent I am but only because they are not Blizzard or EA. But CCP has pissed me off enough many times to the extent that I will bring up their ghosts of christmas past even if I have to be a troll about it.
Just ask anyone around here who has seen me forum warrior for a long time. How supportive and abrasive I can be depends heavily on how much CCP fucks up.

I have seen you forum warrior for years. And I say differently. So there goes that argument, which was an informal fallacy anyways.
Which informal fallacy are you referring to in particular?
So you claim to have seen me forum warrior. And you say differently about it? You probably saw a lot of praise I gave to CCP in the past but you if you did see me forum warrior then you should have also seen me take a **** on some of the things CCP did. Let me elaborate a bit on that with a few links on my past posts.
Hold on... digging to some archives. This might take a while. Thankfully ChribbaX keeps a very extensive archive of the forums dating back to even the very first post in Dust 514 forum history. I bet no one forum warriors more than this guy.

Note: Watch me take a **** on CCP at post #7. I hope you're watching this, CCP.
tell us whats going on

Note: To quote CCP during the 2011 Jita Riots, "let's watch what they do, not what they say." Do not disappoint me again this year like you did in 2014.
Then there was this gem posted by The Guardian. This is where the "pssshhh" reference comes from. I'm sure CCP doesn't like to be reminded of this colossal failure, but I'll remind them anyways because I love CCP. Yes, here I am fanboying it.

So yeah, I didn't hold back with my criticism when the time came for me to vent out my frustration at CCP at the time. And it didn't help that CCP Z was not being helpful to the community when it came to coming up with sound ideas for Project Legion on the progression system. Many of us, including me, weren't very comfortable with his idea on how to setup progression. I posted my own idea of progression but then after that communications in the Project Legion forums just went dark... forever.
The only reason I stuck through was because CCP Rattati took over development. And apparently he's still in charge for NotLegion development according to one of the current CPMs. I think it was Darth Carbonite that mentioned it. Rattati utilized his team in a way that was suppose to have been utilized from the very beginning. Communicate heavily with the community, ask for feedback and use it, and more importantly show actual progress.
It's just too bad this all came too late for Dust. CCP made a huge mess with the game long before Rattati was given this position. It must have been annoying for him and his team to deal with legacy code that was built as a result of prior mismanagement. Overall, I'm glad they finally decided to start over and rebuild everything from scratch so as to not deal with it anymore.
Once May 30 comes and goes, you'll see me playing more Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on Steam. If you're into that game on the PC, send a friend invite. My name is still Maken Tosch in Steam.
Oh, and to CCP, again... don't disappoint me in this year's Fanfest. Remember the "pssshhh" and $1,000 jeans.
