:P
Where in the history of Eve and the actual execution of CCP in delivering anything can you make a case that there is any real shift in direction? There is no way they can back down on the resources that have applied to the new shiny of WOD and Dust. While there are magic people in Iceland there is no indication that they can do software and even if they went on a hiring binge they can't expect to get any new resources in place and productive for 6 months.
What we got was another placation, a content free blog and yet another promise of being listened to and a future of everything we want.
So to be clear, I really like the CCP dev and game design team, I was mostly OK with their stated direction so far, I am dissappointed in the slow delivery of the promise of WIS but I am more worried at them going off doing a bunch of nonsensical stuff in reaction to a loud minority voice!
I hate the recent ideas I've heardf about 0.0, the talk of nerfing WHs, the abandoment of FW, the total ignoring of low sec and the refusal to do even simple balancing with major classes of weapons like blasters.
CCP, if you want to impress us you won't ever again make a content free promise of something soon and awesome. State what you are going to do and when, then deliver what you say, in a completed form, we already have a universe full of half done or abandoned content.
If I was given CCP tomorrow, I'd roll the Eve content and mechanics back about 3 years, it was really fun then and then I'd rethink every new idea that was implemented since then and deliver them completed and implemented correctly. I'd take the pain to get cross alliance asset sharing right, I'd roll out POSs the way they should have been. I'd introduce capitals in a manner that didn't turn them in to blobbed "I win" buttons. And I'd evolve WIS as I redid all the FIS stuff.
So CCP, stop promising and start delivering COMPLETED BUG FREE content, then you will be my heros again.
