They were just really polite and quite like. during the actual interview they had paperbags over their heads instead of their helmets which was pretty funny. It was just a quick hi and bye.
Ian Anderson was … less nice.
I told this story on a musicians forum and I got like 4 other Jethro Tull quotes.
CCP has no control over /r/EVE, it’s completely player run. That being said we do chime in there when we can as that is a platform of players just like the forums.
But to address us the topic at hand we do respond when need be, but often times you guys the players actually have mashed out the discussions to it’s logical endpoint before we get to it, and if not we are actively monitoring. We at CCP are lucky enough to have the ISDs to help us moderate the forum and the CSM to help us gauge player sentiment because besides he official forum we are active on Twitter, numerous Discords, a few subreddits, Facebook, Twitch (both our own Twitch and we actively participate in streams with our players), player gatherings and events (though these are mostly digital during covid times), responding to tickets and chiming in on whatever new social media platform might pop up next week.
We are also active in-game, you might see us pop up on rookie channels and a lot of us are actively playing the game outside office hours.
All this is besides the day-to-day 9-5 office work that goes into whatever jobs that respective dev has.
As someone mentioned there are not many companies as involved with their player base as we are are, and we do try and answer as much and we can, but there’s literally tens of thousands of you, and only a few of us 
But we are here.
Watching you.
Listening.
Spying…
And yes the devs read your suggestion threads, and good ideas get discussed.
