We have been begging the Devs to provide communication on their progress for weeks.  They finally do and the 2nd post is someone bashing their status.

Any we wonder why they don't communicate with us.  Nice job ***.

I'm sure Jita is just being funny. Although spending $5k per month on server bills with little or no income whilst waiting for a miracle to happen is not the best business decision I have seen.

Its also a bad business decision to speculate on business "doings" without any inside information, or statistical backing.

I was going to use the word "stupid" but, as unprofessional as it sounds, it still fits.

Re: New devblog: Random assignments - The final details

Can we get an update on the final iteration of the syndicate supply shop? 

We had discussed in this thread removing the "randomness factor" or direct buy items for ridiculous token costs.  Is that still planned?

The plan is to put in the lottery-type items and also have T2+/T4+ items available for direct purchase.

Please, please do not put the lottery system in, I beg of you.

Any particular reason? The lottery items will have nothing that you won't be able to purchase directly (for much more tokens obviously).

Awesome.

You are deploying the shop across all islands right?  Even though TMA will have the new missions?

Yes, but the new items won't get in right away. We'll give some time for the new system to provide some statistics.

Re: New devblog: Random assignments - The final details

Zoom without rewards no one will do missions.

Let me rephrase that, the veterans won't do missions.  The small trickle of new players will probably not be enough for any real statistics.

I'm quite aware of that. But the veterans probably won't do level 1-2 missions anyway, and those will be the ones available first. We simply don't want to risk some possible token exploits and let the rarest items flood the game by putting in everything right away.

If we can find it, were not going to tell you, and act all surprised when we tell you about it after we have farmed the ever living "stuff" out of it.

Then act all smug three months later.  Like, we got you.
