EVE General Discussion

Communication and agreeing to everything we ask are 2 different things.

Let the changelogs do the talking.

I don't know why I would camp it in a Cloaky Hauler but that in itself might be a good explanation of where the people are.

I think the communication between devs and community is very good compared with other MMOs generally.

Apart from that, they can never make it right for everyone. Nerf Supercaps - some cheer, some whine.

As to sincerity: There are some points in the blog I think were less than sincere.

But well... hiding one's faults is part of the biz.

Who cares? That's increased cost you pass on to the next guy in the que buying your stuff.. increased running cost for POS, increased T2 cost.. bla bla bla...

New system surely is better than one expecting that there is customs office in every planet, even in wormholes which are supposed to be unexplored space.

There is plenty of threads about this topic and many have their opinions. If the end product refines to final form from all the feedback, it is all good. In the end the change is same for everyone and it is easy to adapt into.

This issue isn't nothing like for example the upcoming font. That you can't ignore if you don't like it, but PI you can.

Naa we're not.

If you want direct answer - communication has been much better in past few weeks. Some subjects may have required some more leverage to get 'em rolling than others, but generally devs, gm's and customer reps have been much more active in forums and on passing the info.

The fact will they find our opinions and reasoning valid enough to change their plans on some issue depends about their judgement. There is nothing more we can do about it in development stage. However it is still really important to share all the opinions, because without them many obvious thing to "us" may remain "not so obvious" to the developer who is working on the thing. Every reasonable comment and opinion is valuable information source.

As long our opinions is being read and their plans are passed to us, we have communication. If devs take some time to comment the feedback in the forums, we have very good communication. This is working fine atm.

Now I suggest that you head back to this dev blog comment thread here and leave your bit of communication there. Someone might actually want to read it.

Umm - CCP posts awesome posts discussing company policies, downsizing and refocussing. Poor dev's get called out on threads every second post. DEV's actually reply to MANY posts. Devs reply to blog threads.
Yeah I'd say that CCP is MORE than fulfilling their promise of better communication. I mean jeez give them a break - they have gone beyond what other mmo's staff have to put up with.

^^This +1

Believe it or not, CCP and their Dev's are human too.
