I wholeheartedly agree :)
Though I still think EVE still needs a LOT of work to be the game it set out to be, and the DEV's still have thier moments...
I also came to the conclusion that CCP is listening and talking to us better than before.
In the past we were at first impressed that they talked to us at all admitting thier shortcomings when a server would crash or what have you.
The CSM chats however where only somewhat productive, CCP all too often completely ignorant weeks later, of things we knew about sometimes only hours after it was discovered to be amiss.
Now, We see much better dialogues, and much more comitment from the DEVs to fix the busted stuff, and improve the thinner spots.
To top it all off, the CSM chats as an example, are a lot more profesionaly run. We don't have as many random exclamations from the chatters, and it's a lot more organized.
Also CCP is telling us more info now about what to expect...
In the past as an example we could always expect things like this:
"Dev team what do you think of this Idea, blah blah blah."
Dev "Well shiva will be cool and have this and that and this."
"Ok but what about my question?"
Dev "Uhm.... Soon(tm)?"
*sigh*
Sure I enjoyed the old chats too, I mean it wasn't like CCP didn't give us any info or anything. But now adays it feels more open and less "hush hush."
I feel like CCP has gone into overdrive to bring the game up to speed with thier orriginal plans.
I might be way off target here... But I think the EnB players flooding into this game to escape the cataclysm of thier lost playground, has lit a fire under CCP's behind.
They are now seeing bigger $ signs, than before, and have less competition so they feel justified in taking more risks and spending more money and time on development.
Seriously before EnB shut down it was like CCP was in a cave under a rock on one of the moons of mars...
Now it feels like they crawled out from under the rock and have set up a broadband connection to listen once in a while.
Good show :)
