the June 4th release needs to be pushed out at least a month, if CCP is actually going to LISTEN to the player base and roll some of this stuff back.

all we want:

• user defined launch pattern(s)
• bring back Deep Space Probes
• remove the new probe mods, there is no need. restore the meaning of the current probing skills, as they are on TQ today.
• keep your overlay in as a novelty item but do not force it upon us.
• do not show all signatures in the system by default when entering it
• do not magically recall probes
• allow the launch of one probe

A LETTER TO THE DEVELOPERS OF EVE

Lets take a walk down memory lane, o forgetful developers of Eve. BEHOLD!


A LETTER TO THE FOLLOWERS OF EVE
05.10.2011 17:29 By CCP Hellmar

Dear Followers of EVE Online,

The past few months have been very humbling for me. IGÇÖve done much soul searching, and what follows is my sincere effort to clear the air with all of you. Please bear with me as I find my way through.

The estrangement from CCP that many of you have been feeling of late is my fault, and for that I am truly sorry. There are many contributing factors, but in the end it is I who must shoulder the responsibility for much of what has happened. In short, my zeal for pushing EVE to her true potential made me lose sight of doing the simple things right. I was impatient when I should have been cautious, defiant when I should have been conciliatory and arrogant when I should have been humble....

..... Somewhere along the way, I began taking success for granted. As hubris set in, I became less inclined to listen to pleas for caution. Red flags raised by very smart people both at CCP and in the community went unheeded because of my stubborn refusal to allow adversity to gain purchase on our plans. Mistakes, even when they were acknowledged, often went unanalyzed, leaving the door open for them to be repeated.

You have spoken, loudly and clearly, with your words and with your actions. And there were definitely moments in recent history when I wish I would have listened more and taken a different path.

I was wrong and I admit it.

In the interest of time I'll just cut that off right there, because if you're capable of getting the point it'll be enough.

Stop ignoring us. Address the many repeated concerns voiced in not only this thread but since this feature set was added to the test server.

Don't pick out the one or two positive posts that you made with your alts just to generate the appearance that this is some kind of dynamic exchange of information.

We pay you for this game. We deserve to be treated like we matter. You need to respond to the CRITICISM of this feature set, you need to do it now and you need to LISTEN to us before you put these changes into effect on the live server.
