I still don't know if they're really aware of why they failed and why people are angry at them. I haven't played this game for very long (approximately 1 year), and every day I read and hear about how CCP screw this up, or that. I have chalked it up to bitter vet syndrome and I took it all with a grain of salt. How can a company survive this long if they were truly as bad as these people made it out to be? Then I attended this event. I was shocked at the way things panned out, as I never even made it to Ihal until the event was 'called off', which seemed highly premature and scripted. Like a kid who was losing and yanks the power cord from the machine instead. Even with this in mind, I figured it was just one bad event, no big deal--the Dev Blog will explain everything perfectly.. At this point, I'm completely on board with the quote in this reply. CCP mentions they can plan an event and control attendance by where and how it's advertised. This event was advertised on Facebook, Twitter, the launcher, the login page, the forums..everywhere. To this conclusion, CCP had to know a MASSIVE TURNOUT was to be expected. Then the dev blog comes out to say they didn't account for TiDi. And that they really didn't even know Doril was being used as a staging system for a HUGE nullbloc. And to further alienate the situation, there was no apology in the entire article, however credit must be given for the one admission of a single mistake being made (not reinforcing the right nodes). So as a fairly new EVE gamer, I'm left with the impression that they truly do not play their own game, or have any clue what is going on within it. This reinforced the notion that CCP is clueless and incompetent, and greatly explains why so many expansions have been received with so many complaints that CCP is adding pointless fluff or stupid features instead of fixing what is already in the game. It's not a lack of trying on their part, as they attempt to add content to a legacy game. I'm not saying I'll leave EVE any time soon, as I enjoy it and play in the one part of the game CCP has admitted to actually working somewhat right (wormholes). But I am now amongst the thousands of players who fear the day CCP involves themselves with any aspect of our wormholes. For the sake of this game, please stop developing 2 expansions a year and invest one of the expansions time into playing your product so you have at least some sort of a clue of what it's like.
