So basically nothing on Eve will be worked on for another year or 2 while they "finish" Dust and release some more eye-candy in the form of WiS?
Sounds like the sociopaths have taken over.

Quote: Nathan previously stated that he did not want to commit to fixing Factional Warfare as a whole, despite his own developers thinking of many of these issues as serious.
Again, you've got to be kidding me. Nathan is starting to sound very unreasonable, and in fact the very cause for players to feel the CSM has no worth.
It really is starting to sound like there is a sociopath embedded and slowly ruining Eve from the inside out.
Not finishing faction war?
All expansions are solely for attracting new customers to buy PLEX and none of them will ever be finished now or into the future?

Originally by: Gefgarion Askaris Anyone want to take bets on how much money they lose with Dust?
If it was a long-standing product then I'd say that DUST could save Eve.... Diversity, creating a universe bigger then Eve, a universe that can't disappear.
However....
It's a console FPS game, these come and go every week.
Being a console game the hosting will likely be cheap P2P connections between players, which means anywhere other then the US/EU/Japan the player experience will be 300-400ms latency.
Without dedicated servers no community will grow and DUST will slowly die over a period of weeks or months.
Console FPS games are a cash grab, they are generally cheap builds on existing engines that are released for quick cash around xmas time. The console game market is not about quality products or long-standing franchise, it's a world of flash in the pan cash grabs on poor product.
Compare this to PC FPS games which still have many dedicated servers, clans, and players years after release.
So..... Where does this leave Eve?
Well if they lie about what dev resources are being spent and continue to allocate resources to DUST at the expense of Eve...... The mass exodus could be just around the corner if they continue to drop the ball with such stunning consistency.
If they get back onto Eve soon rather then ignoring it then they may well save the game from collapse.

Originally by: Aineko Macx That is unlikely, I don't think CCP will forgo centralized control, given their current infrastructure and know how. Also, since the Dust world still has to interact with the eve cluster, depending on the tightness of the integration there is little to be gained by p2p connection.
Have a feeling it's going to be global P2P with the central "server" being done via xBox/PS3 "Achievements"
CCP have said nothing to allay these fears. There has been no talk of dedicated servers and without dedicated servers, I can 100% guarantee there is zero point in playing DUST from Australia.
The major concern however is that CCP responds to CSM requests for Eve fixes with: "No. We have no programming resources available". and "I don't like that feature so you don't get it fixed!"

Originally by: Ker HarSol So the only CSM member who really stood up for the CSM and not just playing along for the free visit to Iceland just got removed because of "NDA breach"?
How convenient.
Can we vote in another that isn't usless?
Someone that when CCP says "No we are a DUST company" They say "**** YOU CCP! WAKE THE **** UP! WE ARE CUSTOMERS!!!"
