This is flat out wrong. We know they are a need addition and that you guys want them. Never said otherwise.

I want everyone working on Dust 514 at CCP to take your thoughts that FPS gamers are somehow more disorganized than Eve players and don't need the same management tools, ball those thoughts up, and throw them so hard that they make it nearly to California before they drown in the ocean.

I am sorry you think we feel that way. We don't. Corporations and alliances are the reason EVE is still around after 10 years. It is not just about organization it is about building relationships, friendships, and just building something together. It is these strong social bonds that have kept EVE alive for so long. We have people come to Fanfest who have not played the game in years. Trust me, we know how important they are to you guys.

As I've said before, the little suggestions constantly dropped by CCP on that front are condescending and downright wrong.

Not sure what suggestions you are talking about. We expect alliances and corporations to be used differently in DUST than they are in EVE. Not that DUST players are not capable of using alliance because they are FPS players or something. I cannot stress this enough, corporations and alliances are one of the most important features to the game. When we look at things like the new star map we are constantly looking at it and saying "how can we show off corporations or alliances somehow" because we want to show off what you guys accomplish.

TL;DR: With alliances and interaction, it's about time to get on the ball. "Wait and see" sounds a lot like "deal with how bad it is while we procrastinate".

I am really sorry we have gotten to the point that you feel we are procrastinating. There are a lot of us here putting in a lot of extra time just trying to get Uprising out the door and to get ready for Fanfest. We have to balance what we think is top priority for the game as a whole. For this team it meant planetary conquest was a higher priority than alliances. We also have other things we want to get done and ready before full alliance support. That in no way though means we do not want to do alliances or in any way feel that they are not important.
We love this product, we love this community, and we want to produce the best thing possible. We can't please everyone though, and I am sorry if you feel we have let you down.
Back to work with me for now.

They're clearly very hard at work - give them some credit and cut them some slack.
