So, in conclusion, it's not the game's direction or the major changes that leave me with my mouse hovering over cancel on my accounts, it's the petty annoyances that grind on me every time I log in - the broken chats, the repeatedly breaking autopilot, the missing market entries, those are the things that make me want to give it all up.
I look at what was supposed to come with Exodus and I wonder why I'm still here deceiving myself into thinking it will ever come. 
I have adressed the missing Exodus features a number of times. What you see in the CWE is all content, that's why it's called a content patch. Content does for the most part (about 95%) not require any programming. We wouldn't never have been able to put the last features of EXODUS into the 5% of this patch even if I wanted to (and I really did). But we will.
The small things you mention, like someone said here, if they are the only things wrong, I guess the rest of EVE is in pretty good shape, wouldn't you say?
Oh, and the Tech 1 Mining drones are in this patch, along with a Tech 2 variant. If you have any more specific things which are supposed to be on the market, feel free to list them. (Actually, last time I checked, Hammer did use a list from you.)
Anyways, thanks for the post, keeps me on my toes.
Agree with all comments in this post and thread. I too have been playing almost two years and have seen amny things go from bad to worse...
I draw you Attention Oveur to this post i placed in the known Issues forum..cut and pasted for your inconvenience..
I've said this before and I'll say it again..we SHOULD NOT have to play eve with audio off to get a decent framerate...that is a CCP half baked dodgy workaround because I think they either do not know why sound is such a lag monster in eve or they do not have the skill to solve the problem. Plenty of other games run fine in extreme combat situations with sound on..ie Earth and Beyond (god bless that game pity it was nerfed to hell and had no decent PvP in it) Tribes2, Battlefield2 the list goes on....
I say FIX THE DAMN SOUND/LAG ISSUE and stop dodging around it like it doesn't exist.
This has been mentioned soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many times and you are simply working around it or ignoring it..Surely in the last two years of live development and the previous year of beta (which i participated in) have you continued to ignore this so very obvious flaw in Trinity your o-so-eve-specific 3D engine. For christsakes speak to other developers out there who run mmo's and even just online FPS blastemtosoggyfraggybits games..
graphically the game is stunning..in terms of audio its beautiful..put the two together and what have you got? BUGGER ALL......
I was having a discussion with some ppl on sisi not too long ago about this issue and remember one person saying that your machine may be at fault. Nowadays many ppl's PC's EXCEED, and exceed by a BLOODY long way, the box requirements for Eve and yet they still have to play with sound off, and effects off, and turrets off just so they don't lag when warping onto a gate with a 20 ship camp and die....
FIX IT DAMMIT...nuts to content you can put that in ANYTIME...fix the flaws, bugs,*****ups whatever you want to call them and fix them now. Two fracking years is long enough to learn what you need and must do.
