I've spent WELL over 400 hours on the mod, and counting, fixing bugs, making new toys for people ready for the game and all that. That my efforts aren't always appreciated it something I've learned to accept. Frankly, any dev in it for the long haul will eventually dev just because he/she enjoys to create stuff rather then cater to the playerbase's changing desires.
I am not saying it's true , but many people considered some devs were mostly catering themselves , giving their little posse nice toys and advantages.
It's sad that this image sprung up , I've only experienced first hand what a crapload of work goes into making a single shipmodel.....
If you really wan't players to stick around, and continue to make name for this mod , a dev team should cater to their desires though.
Look at how Sony dev's do the Planetside 2 stuff.
That formula is very succesful.
Ofcourse there is one big difference , the Discovery devs don't get payed.
As I've always said we players have no right to demand stuff, not until we start paying the dev team a monthly salary.
Still , this leads to the frustrating brick wall that most players face sooner or later.
