I wanted to take a moment and personally thank CCP for you guys' continued communication by your Dev team to the Community. What has really struck me the most is how human you guys' come off. You guys will speak your mind or your feelings on things; sometimes you say too much and get in trouble, sometimes you don't say enough. The point being is that it feels real.

I've spent the past many years reading forums all around the web for many other games. Your Devs, your "blues," if you will, don't come across as some corporate bots like other companies' do. You come across as real people working very hard for a company and games that you enjoy producing.

So for all that--for being humans with feelings and compassion--THANK YOU. Thank you, CCP! And Thank You Hilmar for engaging the community as you do, as well.

It's nice to have a dev team that LISTENS, and then goes on to FIX THINGS. Complain about a bug, and it'll be fixed eventually.

Much better than what I'm used to at work, where the only thing that gets things fixed is fixing it yourself, or waiting until someone gets hurt.
(Oddly enough, they stopped leaving broken glass around really quick after they found some splashed with blood, and with a corresponding incident report. Such a shame they didn't register running out of plasters before the next accident, though.)

This is really it right here. CCP Devs will explain if something isn't working, or genuinely listen to feedback and suggestions. Other companies, though, just seem like they staff the corporate bots to spew out the company line regardless of the way things actually are "on the ground."

Ha! Fooled you. They're all just python scripts.

I certainly agree in the last couple of years CCP has put a better effort to have their team out there and accessible through the forums and other media forms.
And they certainly like to hear positive things. (Who doesn't)

CCP Prism X owns that field and has done for years. We simply graze on it.

Or you got cases like World of Tanks were the lead developer just insults people on the forums for asking what he considers stupid questions.

Then bans said people.



Then openly say that they don't give two ***** about player feedback as most of it is crap or something they already tought of.


It might just be how russians work tough...

Thank you, Maximus and the rest of you :)

We fiercely believe in a natural and direct back-and-forth flow of communication between devs and players. It really suits our production style and culture and I don't think we could make EVE right without it. It's also just fun :P

One thing that stands out about CCP is its interaction with its customer base. Other gaming companies need to take alook because this is how its done.
