Apples and oranges.

The games development speed is unaffected by your levels of disappointment.

COD (activations) is a company with 4000 employers and a $2.8 revenue in 2008. Activation blizzard is 7000 people and a revenue of 4.856 billion

CCP has 70 in shanghai (dusts dev team) and a total employee count of 600 all in.

halo had 300 people developing (bungie)

CCP cant compete with that dev team size.

Also They have to go through Sony QA for all new content and builds, so its better to do bigger builds.

6 month builds is what your going to get, stop whining

I'm sure they know a lot more then you about game development.....

Get used to it.

Except how to make a fun, engaging, challenging game with tight, well built mechanics and core gameplay, how to engage and properly maintain excitement in their audience and how to effectively manage PR issues. EXCEPT all of that you are right they DO know more about game development. Roll

EXCEPT all of that you are right they DO know more about game development. Lol your still here, they will get their money, they already have. CCP knows your not going anywhere, they are doing all this to spite you. :D And there are tons of games like that out there with everything you want in them. So why are you here? CCP can hide behind the beta for a long time, and even when they can't EA has paved the way for bad games along time ago, still made a boatload of cash anyways, its the future of online gaming. Basically, gun to my head, no matter what your probably going to be disappointed, even you seem to indicate that is the most likely outcome, so unless your plan is to be here to yell "I told you so" in a really loud smug way even though everyone else sees it coming as much as you do, I don't really gather what your hoping to get out of it. Its like waiting for your boss to fire you from a job you hate, you know its coming, why you still hanging around? For that promotion you know your never going to get? You the loser that sits around waiting for your girlfriend to lose the weight and give a good bj? complain all you want games development is on their shoulders not yours. Nothing you do is gonna legitimately change the outcome. any feedback and opinions you have are not unique you know that right? there are millions of people with the exact same ones, you just happen to be the one wasting your time on this game you dislike so much. Leave and CCP might work harder to get you back. Do you always buy/use products you don't like in protest of how much they suck?
