DUST Search - CCP's Failure to Lead on Vehicles

I am sure a lot of people were drawn to Dust based on the many trailers containing several HAVs and dropships as they stormed the battlefield. They are shown fighting each other, infantry, and even the environment. I too was amazed at this and skilled into vehicles during chromosome.

Flash forward to Uprising. Vehicles have no way to increase their ability to survive and are continually destroyed by proto AV. They cost unreasonable amounts of ISK and have the most bugs of anything in the game. Their operators are some of the most dedicated players on the battlefield as one mistake costs them over an hour of grinding ISK. Only the occasional enjoyment is keeping operators around.

Now to the armor repair fix and beyond. Eventually there will be ZERO 'real' (non militia and skilled) vehicles on the battlefield. It will just be AR vs AR. Those trailers will be so far fetched that even a dev might admit it, not that they would even reply to a vehicle related post. With the continued extermination process of vehicles, operators are continually decreasing in numbers. Those who stay will be forced to skill into other areas as whatever SP they have spent on vehicles has been made obsolete.

Sound unreasonable?

By September, if nothing beneficial to vehicles happens, it will be true.

CCP STEP UP
Admit that something is wrong.
Play your game through the role of a vehicle specialist against real players.

Whoever is running the vehicle operations and AV balance
They have done nothing but render us more and more obsolete, until we are no longer viable.

SHOW SOME REPECT
Your numbers don't add up (economically for vehicles, damage, or repping/boost)
We have proven this over and over AND OVER AND OVER

YET YOU HAVE YET TO RESPOND
Unless AV is nerfed into the ground across the board in 1.4 I will be specing into other roles or asking for a respec. If this seems like any other fps when I do that, I will be leaving to play a much more refined FPS.

GET REAL
You still have time to fix this. Sit down and crunch the numbers for AV vs any tank. You will be just as frustrated as us if you do you will be just as speechless as us at times.

FIX IT
Re-balance vehicles and AV. Tanks should act like 50 ton blocks of steel on treads, dropships should fit their role and not die in two shots, LAVs shouldn't strike fear into every soldier.

NOTE
Maybe we should make a list of all the vehicle drivers who are on the way out so CCP could see? I mean they are the infantry's pet so I guess then no one will be between their AR vs AR battles any longer.
