i don't believe i've seen a proper expansion in the 2 years i've been playing. i've seen 4 large patches though.



If you've only played for two years, I understand you're not familiar with their larger "expansions". Trust me, those expansions could turn out to be more annoying than they're worth. I think they're strategy now is more incremental and careful. I know you can't make the comparison but their approach now is better.


Lol, you seem confused.
Their strategy is to do as little as possible, make promises that never come though and persuade people like you that they are actually doing a good job.....

You haven't really paid attention then.
The tiercide initiative alone has added more content than any patch in the game's history. Those “4 large patches” have more than doubled (probably close to tripled) the number of actually useful ships in the game.

Compare this to “big-wow” expansion that, for all their apparently massive additions, were inherently broken (Apocrypha), didn't really add anything (Empyrean Age), or drove people away in droves (Incursions, Incarna).

Providing working and useful tools might not look amazing in the patch notes, but adds a whole lot more to the game than classic consumable content.

When most MMO players of the current crop hear the word: expansion, they think of an island filled with pandas added to the game world. Beginning with Crucible and on through this last one, the ships that we fly have totally changed, fleet concepts, weapons and tactics, everything.

So yeah, my game world has expanded.

Love it. Loved it before it happened, knew it would be good, expected a few bugs but haven't noticed any.

I can't believe CCP has failed, yet again, to spoon-feed me pandas in space.

Of course not. He won't quit - then he wouldn't be able to ***** about how much he hates everything CCP does.
