I understand CCP's real motivation to release the blogs in segments: to drum up anticipation and interest in an area that is difficult for some players to understand/care about
However, for those of us that both understand and do industry/science on a regular basis and need answers to the dozens of open questions that are raised parts 1 and 2 in this series of blogs, we are understandably frustrated by the "Hide the ball approach" of "wait until we publish the rest of the story." The cover of "if we do it in one post, then it will be too long" is both flimsy and insulting. The industrial community is not replete with "tl:dr" types.
It is utterly infuriating for CCP to open so many different avenues in one dev blog yet fail to answer the logical questions posed by the playerbase by saying: "just wait, we will tell you later."
Don't treat us like this CCP. We deserve better. |

Don't treat us like this CCP. We deserve better. A few things you need to consider. GÖª This expansion is many months away. They are giving us time to absorb what is going on. They are giving those attending fanfest time to clarify their needs and questions. They are giving us time to identify issues. GÖª They want to ensure the information is presented clearly, and honestly. This means they can't go all out explaining ever little detail, especially since not all the details are fully worked out. I'd prefer to know now, get my questions together on what I want to know, give them time to address it, and move on from there. Really, you should be happy you are getting this information now, as opposed to after fanfest (which is the normal timeframe).
I respectfully disagree with your position. CCP *can* go over every little detail, instead they are transparently attempting to whet an appetite. While I agree that they are instituting a major change to a complex part of the game, I am not content to accept what is spoon-fed to me.
I do not believe it is unfair to ask CCP to release a complete blog for us to digest and one to which the community can pose well considered questions. The piecemeal approach taken to this issue unfortunately conforms with the approach CCP uses with patch releases: Rush it out, unfinished and issue daily patches until we get it right" I am merely asking CCP to take their time and give us a full picture in one shot instead of leaving us to wonder.

Direct Dev Question:
Will you be releasing any of the other blogs on industry prior to fanfest? If so, what are the release dates?
Will you answer any more questions posed in the comments section prior to fanfest? It's been awfully quiet since #947 Posted: 2014.04.16 15:56
Is this current blog with the "wait and see" approach it employs merely a teaser designed to force us to purchase live streams to fanfest if we are unable to travel? This smacks of baiting.

A significant number of subscribers are clamoring for a dev blog in this series and instead CCP issues a fluff piece on one of their own??!!
http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/developer-spotlight-goliath/
I have zero issue with Goliath; I am curious to know whether this "dev blog" is a calculated move on CCP's part to further inflame industrialists or just more evidence of an utterly and absurdly inept PR department inside CCP. |

CCP Eterne is a "Community Representative and Live Events Author for EVE Online." I kinda doubt he (she?) has much of a hand in the industry changes. Devblogs aren't some sort of scarce resource that require the entire output of the company to pen -- they can have their non-developer and non-designer folks put out devblogs without somehow choking off the potential for others. That being said, I feel your weariness.
You and I are are absolutely on the same page. Any number of people at CCP can issue a dev blog. In fact, several have been issued since this iteration was authored. I am just flabbergasted that CCP issued pure advertising as we grow more frustrated with the silence in this arena. |
