In on page awesome!

And with the risk of repeating what others said in the previous 100+ pages...

For me, having had the honor of following CCP from a very early stage, seeing how developers worked tightly with players to progress forward I'm _NOT_ suprised one bit over the view from CCP, as it was just a matter of time, after all you are a company, with the goal to make money (unlike most 3rd party developers in our community *hint hint* ) - so I'm not going to try and argue with you(CCP) on that note.

From my point of view, you're(once again CCP) is trying to save face by like not telling us what you have in mind in the fear of players leaving, and I think from most of the players view we only want you to be honest.

By lying to us, or "modifying the truth" you are seriously just stepping on our trust. Sure, honest will most likely lead to players leaving as well, but how CCP has presented itself in recent time isn't really giving any kudos in my book anyway. Be honest and we get mad, but you will still have our faith and trust, lie to us and we will be mad and not eager to give you anything, which tbh only gives you bad PR.

Now I don't claim knowing much about PR or how to run a company your size, but the general "hmm" tells me that being honest and losing 1000 paying customers would be better in the long run than lying and losing 500 players now and get a really bad PR event.

I think CCP is awesome, and I have nothing but faith for you guys since you are doing an outstanding job for us, but I must say, your communication has serious flaws, and it has not always been like that, maybe you grew to fast and it's understandable that it was easier to communicate with us when there was 20,000 people, compared to the what 500,000+ now?

But remember, in the end, we are paying your salary with our subscriptions. Talk to us, that is what we want, we want to feel a part of how New Eden progresses, be it with or without buying Monocle's instead of our Armani watches, we want to be a part of at least trying to push it in the right direction - not getting fed with lies and general "what we think you want to hear"-statements.

Keep up the awesome job, and that goes to ALL CCP employees, we want nothing but to be a part of the epicness you create.
