Here is a thought:
EVE has been around for quite some time, every big new feature nerf/change that gets introduced has resulted in the same complaints. And after every single new patch upgrade and release CCP has seen the number of subscribers rise. Lag is an issue in large scale battles and busy systems, CCP is responding to this a new graphics engine will make for a better FPS rate causing the perceived lag to be far less.
On top of this CCP anounced they are, together with some very big names (IBM, Miscrosoft), looking into building a far better cluster that should address the lag issues that we are seeing now.
As for the T3 remark before I am pretty sure that that is very close to the mark. Because I am sure CCP would never give us a T2 equivalent to the current T2 weapons as this would mean that new players are effectively banned from playing till they can use at least T2 weapons.
The fact that all guns and modules get a bit weaker goes a long way to making for longer more tactical warfare as well again a CCP idea, where we coud even do sub-system targeting and such.
In short after playing ever since beta I am quite sure that CCP will not ignore us or ruin the game for us. They will make mistakes that is for sure but ruin what, for at least the core team, is their baby; the thing that provides them with a job, food and a roof above their heads somehow I doubt it.
I agree, but in the time they have grown, they seem to have become more detached from the player base.
As the player base has grown, that close bond between the devs and players has diminished. To a point where, most players believe the devs now, don't understand their own game.
I believe they do understand the game as a whole, but I also believe, they are not focused enough on the changes/nerfs they are making.
There seems to be an adhoc way, about things atm. New dev blogs, with seemingly little understanding of the ships mentioned.
Nerf bats swung on ships, with scant regard as to their future role.
Change can be a good thing, but it does need more thought, which in my opinion, seems to be lacking.
But then again, I'm just a grunt, so why do I matter.
