Currently you're as transparent as a brick wall....
I'm not angry but in my thinking it would be easier for everyone if you could give clear cut definitive answers instead of vague one liners or a wall of babel dev text.
Here are some examples.
What we'd like: Hello all, the skill respec will be Tuesday May 28 at X time.
Reaction: Finally some clarity! :D
What CCP is currently like: Regarding the skill respecs - Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery, but today is a gift, that is why it's called the present.
Reaction: So does that mean it's tomorrow? Does that mean they learned from their past mistakes....will there be future transgressions? *Brain spontaneously combusts* |

You can probably pin it on a near collapse in internal processes based on the high number of problems that are manifesting themselves or a total lack of care that is prescribed by CCP community relations. That being the first responders are thrown on the fire by the public so you might as well say little or nothing (I kid you not, you can find the presentation on the net).
Either way the scenarios are a pretty sad indictment on present circumstances.
CCP tend to ignore things until it's on a scale involving $900 jeans mea culpas. It's why they aren't even spinning Dust out there to game media, it's back in the shell time. |

True, but what if they don't have set dates themselves?
Telling people something's going to happen on a set day, then announcing its not ready yet or it won't be read in time is a lot worse.
Its best the not give expectations based on speculations they are unsure of.
Otherwise the backlash when they're not able to to keep said dates is going to be worse.
Plus if they're constantly delaying stuff, they're going to end up known as one of those companies.
Its best to wait for info when its absolutely certain, even if you have to wait longer, rather than to constantly fall behing "expected" schedule and be known to never release stuff on time. |

Look at how people are freaking out right now, simply because they happened to mention the optional respect was "planned" for today.
Even tho CCP mentioned that could also change later, some are raging mad "they lied" just a couple of hour after downtime. |

CCP is not a huge game company, they can't devote manpower just to entertain the QQers here on the forums. I would much rather they spend their time working on the problems than spending it here talking to us about working on the problems. It isn't about due dates, its about getting it done. |

I have no doubts that the respecs will happen, and I'm not concerned about that.
Transparency-wise, it would be nice to have some concept of release dates for new content, upcoming fixes, and that sort of thing. Major re-balancing or changes of skills is exactly the sort of thing that makes people regret spending their SP (re: the issues with the vehicle skills initially, etc.).
I saw Jenza had that thread about putting in the other suit types with placeholder art (current suits with different colors I assume). This is the sort of thing that would be good for transparency because I think people are mystified with the lack of information on what all these "soon" suits/weapons will be. If they came out in a couple weeks, people would be raging because they didn't know that and might've wanted to choose something else.
Content in terms of novel art is one thing, but it's the numbers and nature of the skills and weapons/suits we've yet to see that people want in terms of planning out their character. They've made this game a long-haul sort of title where leveling up given skills to their peak takes literally months. Having changes that impact time investments on that scale is precisely why the layers of obfuscation become so frustrating. |
