"Normal" game developers delay releases all the time. CCP should try it and stop with rushing an expansion which obviously still has many faults. Everyone who follows the dev blogs, spends time on Sisi, is part of a 0.0 alliance, reads the discussions, knows there's an incredible ammount of things wrong with Dominion. I'm not gonna detail that here, I'm just gonna assume people who agree with me have more or less the same information.
Releasing Dominion within 1,5 week from now with so many obvious flaws will have the potential of bringing EVE closer to MMO Death.
Maybe the corporate owners of CCP don't care. Maybe their marketing guys whispered in their ears that "there absolutely can't be any delay". Maybe competeting space MMO's are rushing towards the limelight and CCP has to block their moves with a high-profile high-powered PR buffed expansion.
CCP: don't be tempted by external forces to ignore things you should fix internally! Also go back to two-way feedback between developers trusted by the community and the community itself. Maybe in your opinion it won't affect the bottom line much, but for us players getting a warm and fuzzy feeling about the devs and what they're trying to do is very important regarding our CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR: do we continue to buy this product or not? Are we pleased by the company's service? Do we have the feeling the company is taking his clients seriously?
At the moment, we, the consumer, are not being taken seriously.
CCP, make a good expansion and communicate with your clients more effectively. Recognize the fact that ****ing off your long-term subscribers, who've been with you for years, can be the ultimate recipe for MMO death. For killing your own child.
Anyway, I could rant a lot longer... I'm under the impression a lot of people know very well what I'm talking about.
Now..
I'm simply calling here that the CSM put forward to CCP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, the very simple idea of POSTPONING the release of Dominion.
And let CCP developers without time stress get it right.
Edit: if you don't believe this is not a troll check my posting history. I never speak up on Eve-o unless I have something to say which I deem to be important. So please treat this post seriously.
Another edit: this is my personal opinion and doesn't reflect what my corp and/or alliance thinks. This is me, as a PAYING CUSTOMER, bringing this issue to the CSM.
