Hellmar's post

It’s been a bit since my last post, I’ve been dragged away busy resetting up Minecraft servers and also been playing Wurm-online which has a strange pull which has kept me logging in for the last month. In EVE terms for me I have started a new trial account, which I will be subbing with a plex once the trial is up and the skills are trained.
So Hellmar has posted a dev blog found Here.  Although if you haven't read it where have you been. It apologises for the recent things that CCP have done and what some of the community has not liked. It also states that they have made changes to the structure of CCP, to try and fix the problems that have arisen recently with the lack of communication with the community.
What has impressed me is not the letter, I never really lost my trust in CCP, as someone who is looking at becoming a games programmer and someone who looks at the games industry from that point of view can see why CCP was doing what they were doing. They need to change to keep up with other games that are currently out there and to keep up with the games industry as a whole. The real thing that surprised me was the community. It took me till half way through page 5 till I found a post that was truly sceptical about the post and who was flaming the letter. This has brought me back from thinking that the majority of the community are complete twats, and only seem to sub to EVE to complain and whine at everything that CCP do to the game, as I have shown over the past few posts on here. Then I found the following post which reinforced my new admiration for the community of the game that I have enjoyed playing and putting my time into for the past 2 years.

If you community doesnt understand how his love of eve may have blinded him some then you dont deserve a CEO like him. I enjoy this game thoroughly. I dont view what he did as making mistakes, just as things that were not clarified. Im defensive about this game myself but patience is a SKILL in eve you must train :)

This sums up my views and is what really was needed in the thread to show to the people who were going to complain why they should just be quiet and stop complaining at every little thing CCP tries to do to improve this game and keep it up to date with the current MMOs out there to bring in new players to this fantastic game that I love.
