I havenÆt earned your trust or respect; therefore I have no right to ask anything of you û but I am going to try, anyway. Can I please count on at least some of you to help bring the pitchforks and torches down a few notches?
You get respect by being contrite and recognising people's concerns - but you also have to address them. The question I think a lot of people are asking is why CCP keeps making these mistakes. It has repeatedly failed to gauge the mood of the community, looking out of touch despite having the CSM and thousands of people on the forums willing to give constructive feedback.
A few points:
1. The DoorÖ. You have to do something about it. It is unacceptable to replace the visually appealing, functional and familiar hangar view with a static background. CQ isn't ready for showtime yet and may never work satisfactorily on low-end hardware. CCP knew many people would not want to use the CQ but demonstrated total disregard for them in making this decision. I agree with Entity's post about this.
2. The Captain's Quarters should remain optional for at least the medium term. CCP needs to be clear about when it would intend to remove the option it would intend to remove the option, if ever, and be clear that if this does happen it will only happen once the performance issues are ironed out and the loading times are no longer than for the old hangar.
3.Talk to the CSM. That's what it's there for.
Its members could have told you how the community would respond to the third party licensing blog, Noble Exchange pricing and to the removal of the old hangar. If CCP had taken the quick, no-cost step of simply asking the CSM it could have avoided causing almost all of the irritation and negative media coverage it has generated in the past few weeks.

Soundwave will NOT be fired nor should he.
I think people with calmer heads (no offence to those who lack them) would recognise that CCP needs to be able to have free internal discussions even if their content isn't currently palatable to their customers. I'm not wild about microtransactions but I'd rather that than EVE dying off entirely.
I hope Soundwave hasn't taken any of this *****ing about him/pictures of him on fire ( ) to heart. People have some genuine complaints but I really don't think the ones being critical of him personally speak for the majority.

CCP, I'd just like to say one quick thing: since there's now two big threads, don't take take the number of pages and unique character posts and add them all up as metric of success that the matter is under control.
Also, this dude continues to state the obvious but he's got big yellow text so imma quote him!

In this case ... I'd prefer they talk to the community, rather than the 8 or so of you. This is much bigger than some CSM issue. Stop being butthurt that you're all out of the loop on this one.
If and how MT is used in EVE should and I am sure will be discussed with the community, not just the CSM, and I wasn't (and I don't think Seleene was) suggesting otherwise.
My point was that the reaction to the MT leak is made much worse because it coincides with a number of easily avoidable mistakes/failures of communication which combine to undermine people's confidence in CCP. If CCP had taken advantage of the CSM's better sense of the community's feelings and hadn't made those mistakes, particularly with third party developer licenses, I think they'd be getting a bit more benefit of the doubt now.

Pushing the anger and borderline rage aside I'm now feeling at learning that .pdf was indeed a real roadmap.
Did you (and 75% of the people posting in this thread) miss the part where TWO opinions were expressed, one pro-MT and one anti-more-than-vanity-MT? On the contents page there's also a statement saying that the content is not the policy of CCP but is the opinions of those individuals. Nowhere was there a 'roadmap'.

Seriously, if there was a real lynch mob, I honestly can't say I wouldn't join in. I'm really just that angry at that moron.
Seek professional help. You've failed at reading comprehension - you can't tell the difference between an internal discussion and a statement of policy - and you're saying you can't guarantee you wouldn't resort to physical violence because someone expressed a view about one possible future of a video game they work on.
People like you are why my country has gun control laws
