Can we please stop focusing on the failure of the op:0

While game balance changes are always going to happen, what I dont get is the CCP approach to things.
For example, ECM was genuinly borked, only because of the 20 second jam time. Everyone agreed ECM would be fin if it just broke locks and thats it.
What does CCP do? Nerf ECM insted of fixing it.
Sensor Dampners were borked because people could use 3-4 of them and their target could not lock them. People said "Easy sensor dampner fix is have the victim's abilities uneffected vs the dampner". Thus, the dampner becomes a gang module insted of a omg wtf, and this also discorages a dampner gang. People were happy with this.
What does CCP do? Nerf Dampning insted of fixing it
Tracking disrupters have long been the joke of EW. Just because its Amarr, people laughed even more at it. People asking for just about anything to make this viable.
What does CCP do? Massively nerf TD's insted of fixing it.
PvP in this game is good. However, people used stuff like wcs, nano, cloak, logon traps, logoff when in danger and a whole lot of other stupid stuff that is the REAL problem.
People flying 27km/s nanomaches with 45km scrams (gangmember in claymore) are the new invincible. With weapons such as cruise, the new nanomachs are the i-win button and competent players cannot be beaten. And if you assemble a force to beat them, then the nanomach will simply MWD to gate and jump out in 1 second.
So CCP - can you fix this borked nano concept once and for all?
The crowd of people who just huddled around the first post I quoted was some sort of god are as bad as the OP. This guy listed several changes that directly supported the OPs point and you guys casually ignored it. I guess this brings more truth to the rule "All your carefully picked arguments can be ignored."
I have yet to see anyone argue a good side to any of these things. Sure they finnaly fixed ECM on caldari but after how long? And they figured out how to balance the ECM on specialized ships with the ECM fiasco but failed to do that with Gallente and Amarr. There is clearly a step missing in the design procedure and it is the listening to the feedback of your testers. Hell even listening to the feedback of the community once it hits live is ignored.
So when all positive posts are ignored we are left with two conclusions. Either the devs do not play the game or that the devs are going based off the whines of the forums. Both of which the OP stated and anyone has yet to counter.
Edit: Inserted line breaks to remove wall of text.
