And yet their server performance has been improving (finally) in the last year consistently. CCP is made up of many different teams, some of them are good and some of them are terrible, but I'm not going to crucify them for ignoring testing that they haven't even done yet.
Well to be blunt the only real reason why the server performance improved was because things had finaly gotten so ****ing bad they had literaly no choice but to go in and actualy do something about it because they were literaly becomeing a laughing stock over the issue.
Up untill then there only real solution to the Database and server problem was to simply throw new hardware at it and make bandaid changes sutch as warp to 0 while yelling FIXED very very loudly.
heck the whole Pos Exploit was due to them putting a bandaid solution to the Database handling load and yelling FIXED realy loudly to eachother.
Were seeing the exact same mentality from the Incarna team that lead up to the Blowout with server preformance and to the POS exploit.
The are convinced that Moors law will bail them out of any problems in the long run, so in the mean time there just throwing code bandaids on the problem(each bandiad they throw on incidentaly actualy increases the processor load that Moors law needs to overcome!) while yelling FIXED realy realy loudly into megaphones.
.End of line.

steve to be far the past 2 years have been heavy carbon push. Meaning there was a lot they couldn't do untill the code was all corified, and cleaned up, and put in abunker for future use.
Ive mentioned this before, this is an alt account created to have a disposable scout, and later spawned a manufacturig alt on this account.
I have also been on Sisi fairly consistantly all this time
Frankly I have not seen any real improvment in there QC, if anything its gotten worse in part due to the big influx of inexperienced developers that has more than offset the actual real imrovment in QC standards at CCP.
On top of that they have a realy hardcore belife that Moors law will overtime cure all ills while blindly ignoring the reality that feature bloat has been stedily and consistantly outpaceing moors law.
And on top of that they seem to completly delude themselves that the plan to create there own "Secret sauce" will give them an edge big enough to outweigh all the disadvantages they have larded on themselves by keeping it secret sauce.
First off, literaly they have noone outside of there comapny who has any experience with what Carbon can do, so they will find themselves with a literaly geometricaly growing "training curve" for any and all new developers they bring into the mix,
Secondaly, they have created an Anti incentive to the Graphic card developers to front suport there system on there hardware. (honestly Ive seen the same speel from Nvidia and Microsoft with reguards to developers like Sony, Valve, Sigle, and a enless list of other developers. unfortnatly due to the "secret sauceing" thoes and a dozen other companies ultimatly had to pause development when suddenly the companies that DID make there sauce publicly avalible made requested updates on DivX or the Graphic card manufacturers or when "planed" upgrades that would have helped them out literaly never materialised because the harware /driverdevelopment went another way.
Honestly guys, stop kidding yourselvs, you dont have 10 million subs, you dont have 100k new accounts being created every week, you will not see the oldest licenced version of your sauce STILL SELLING more than 1 Million licenced copys every month a decade after you started licencing it. The only reason why Nvidia and crew are paying you any mind at this point is because your crazy enough to be developing it first. The Instant Unreal announces that they have a full up development team working on it(or Xbox-playstation announces the benchmarks for the next gen systems) you will be lucky if Nvidia returns your calls within a week. (Soes experience)
.End of line.
