I think many of you misunderstand the purporse of the weekly update posts. They are meant to keep the general forum populus informed (on a high level) on what the dev team has discussed regarding forum feedbak and comments by players. It is not meant to be, nor should it be a detailed essay of development work being done on DUST.

These weekly updates begain as a response to beta testers asking for a brief weekly update that will let them know that the dev team is looking at their comments and taking steps to address them and that's what the weekly updates have been doing.

We are working on publishing more dev blogs that will give more insight to the vision of DUST and the features/game mechanics that have been and are going to be introduced, but it will take us time before we can reach the level of frequency and volume that EVE dev blogs have.

We understand the desire to have a two way communication between players and devs and when done correctly, it is a very powerful tool. However, like some of you stated, what is communicated to us should represent the majority of the player base, and not the vocal minority. The CSM has proven to be very helpful in this regard and we are looking into how we can expand it to include DUST delegates as well in the future.

Lastly, we would like to thank all of you for giving us your feedback during the DUST beta period. To help us build better communication channels, we would like to ask that you give ideas that can improve it in the same level of detail that you have shown in pointing out what was broken with it in this thread.

We have CSM reps reaching out to us because you aren't listening to them either. I'm sorry, but you either completely missed the content in the first post or are purposely spinning it. We are complaining that you are posting nonsense on the feedback. I hope you recognize how ironic that you want us to just sit back and wait for all the dev blogs. How about all the blogs promised that were never delivered?

I am dead serious, shut down the servers if you aren't going to use our feedback to improve the game. DUST will become a laughing stock if you continue on the trend of the last 6 months, which has exponentially been getting worse. How can you represent yourself as CCP and ignore all the lessons of Incarna launch disaster? Treat us with some respect, most of us are not idiots, merely frustrated beyond logical arguments.

Pretty much this. CCP why'd you hire us as beta testers, if you were going to completely ignore our feedback and do whatever you want. You do the opposite of what you say all the time. "we don't want to listen to the vocal minority" then why did you nerf tanks so much and buff AV? Knowing you CCP heavies are either A) going to get nerfed and become completely useless or B) get buffed and become the only thing worth using. You need to tweak things and add new mechanics. I made a thread about heavies and while some people didn't like it you can't deny that it was a tweak and wouldn't increase or decrease the worth of heavies, merely shift what they're good for.
