Can we get an honest CCP response on the state of the ESI?

I’d put good money on ESI being sunsetted/deallocated resources as it’s due to be replaced Soon:tm: by a Quasar/gRPC based API. It’s not even a case of good/bad code at this point, it’s about justifying spend on a mostly-retired project with imminent replacement on the horizon. Rest in pepperonis ESI, we hardly knew ye.
Don’t hold your breath for anything other than quick easy fixes, the new faction warfare API should’ve made it clear that ESI is not being touched anymore unless they absolutely have to.

So:

  • Has the ESI been archived/abandoned?
    • Yes, mostly.
  • Will developer time/effort be allocated to fix any of the major bugs, inconsistencies, or limitations?
    • Bare minimum
  • If some developer time is or will be allocated, what’s the best way for us as a community to identify what we consider to be the most important fixes or improvements?
    • See above, nothing you can really do.
