Eve is a truly awesome game.

The guys who design our software are hardcore Linux/Unix geeks, who probably see the daytime sun even LESS often that your game-coding geeks. And you know what the most valuable time we've had them spend in the last 4 months of intensive development of new product was? Talking to customers who actually use our products. Everybody agreed on this, most especially the software engineers themselves. The insight into the way the customer uses the product, what they like and don't like, is invaluable to them in the design process.
Doesn't matter whether it's for customers paying $10,000 a shot for your product (like ours) or $50 (like yours), insulating your coders from the customers is not a winning strategy.
This is OOOOOOOOOO so true! I've had the same experiences.

Thanks for the info Tiggs, but would it hurt for us to hear anything about our issues?
The devs working on combat upgrade can either hit the forums and respond all day to your questions or work on CU. I am sure we are all in agreement with having them bang away at issues and bugs with CU rather then post all day.
There have been 10 dev post in as many days on the armorsmith forum. How does this not qualify as comunication? As a Ranger I find it absurd you all have felt shafted in any way, yes your system is changing, and the devs have listen to your input and made changes such as the reduction in organics 
hehe, to the change back to the original stats for experimentation. Meanwhile we have sat and waited, and waited for even a hint as to what was going to happen to us and we got nothing. Thats right nothing not a single post by a dev in our forum for months....months! Yes, last night at the chat the devs did finally announce that we are getting CL in the CU, and the rangers rejoiced. But still I'd like you to find an official announcement on our forum from the devs, nope didn't happen. Even with a huge change like this not a red name to be found. Meanwhile like I stated before you have had 10 post in just the last 10 days. So again I ask how is that not communication?
If the corr did set up a spam campaign to the devs then he deserved to be stripped of his possition, plain and simple. One need not look as far as our own fine corr to see how it should be done, Owen has collected our issues and our questions, and presented them to the devs in a clean and professional manor. Guess what it worked, The devs changed their position on scout/rangers gettign CL and we patiently wait for them to answer the rest of the questions presented to them.

nobody in the community asked to have a CU pushed out faster than the dev's could handle it. i honestly hope you people realize that sony/lucasarts, or whoever's brainchild this is, is pushing out garbage because they were forced to by some bigwig thats never played the game we all love. you should be communicating with us or alpha testers or someone during all of this not slaving 24hrs a day to push out this garbage.
i honestly want to know what happened to you saying its gonna take as long as it takes to do the CU....

dude....they are blatently ignoring the fact that the majority of people thing the CU sucks. and the worst part is they are lying about it saying we approve it.

A correspondent's position is to bring to the Dev team the issues their profession is currently having or foresee. It isnot to rally up the troops and spam in private message tells tothe devs, just to be heard. The correspondents have direct access to our email addresses and to the correspondent forum. Unfortunately there are times when TH and I get very busy and we need to concentrate on the other duties we have. During these timesthe correspondents may nothear anything from us. We do however let them know we are still reading their posts or emails even if we aren't replying and their concerns are being brought to the table.
All of this is outlined in the correspondent forum,the application for being a correspondent and the welcome letter they receive.

Shame on you for not doing your job and addressing the concerns of the community.
