Am I missing the forum thread started by our august CSM members trying to address our concerns about the inventory rage storm?
Apparently everyone on the CSM loves the new inventory interface and wants it EXACTLY how CCP implemented it. But if people are expressing concerns about how it negatively affects their game play isn't it the job of the CSM to facilitate our concerns to CCP?
Do we even need the CSM? I mean if we have to go directly to CCP with our concerns, doesn't that simply mean we wasted our time electing several useless people who only want to fly for a free vacation to Iceland?

When is the angry mob going to actually "engage brain" and start to realize the CSM is nothing more than a mouth piece....they have no power...no influence..no sway.
CCP can tell them to "step off" anytime they want.
Oh sure it might help if CSM actaully bothered to "participate" (Theres a concept) in day to day posts and assembly hall.
But lets be honest here....your expecations of what CSM can and can't do are seriously out of this solar system...never mind the world. ================ STOP THE EVEMAIL-áSPAM! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=78152

They don't pretend to care unless it screws their alliance. The new and improved inventory screws everyone equally, so they're okay with that. |

Hell, if they'd post in Assembly Hall once a week that'd be awesome, and I think more ideas could be collated and run through the system to be processed for actually applying them to EVE. But as it seems, you want to get a response from the CSM, send them an EVE mail. Although chances are, of the entire lot of them, you'll only get one response.

Or they will spam the #### out of you.
CSM (majority of) are more interested in their free trip to iceland and getting fame more so than actually helping us out. Not that they could do much in hte first place.

You act like that is a new thing. The whole thing is a crock as only the major power blocs are ever represented and those candidates who seek to represent the high or low sec crowds typically gets ROFLstomped in votes and then all 10058 of those get wasted when the public face of those meant to represent the players turns out to be a drunken prick who doesn't even play, and promotes not only violation of EULA but the various laws in place against cyberbullying.
With that I say abolish the CSM and come up with a better representative system that doesn't include a free vacation to Iceland and actually promotes more of an actual PLAYER driven system than a politically driven system that can be tainted by hundreds of alt accounts set in place in time so that they can vote only to vanish again after elections.
My vote is zero confidence in the CSM. "War is not measured in terms of who wins or loses, who is right or wrong.-á It is measured in terms of who survives." |

My vote is zero confidence in the CSM.
I'd agree with that for about 95% of it...give or take.
And no its not new.
Its just worse than it was before.
I didn't even vote because no one was fit to be voted for in the first place. Not that it matters a damn.
Abolishment of the CSM accomplishes nothing because it can still be made to be a good thing.
Like I said...CSM needs to be more public here at the forums...to participate actively.... its not perfect..but its a good start. ================ STOP THE EVEMAIL-áSPAM! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=78152

I am on a very slippery slope. It all started when i found myself agreeing with MXZF on bad threads.
then i found myself agreeing with a goon
and now most recently , with Drake Draconis.
I do not agree with the way they convey themselves, but the core message is often the right one.
What exactly does CSM do if it isn't moderate the forum talking to players and collecting ideas to present to CCP?
Where were the CSM responses in the UI threads? Other then Hans, talking about FW (of which i am not qualified to speak on) I haven't seen a CSM tag on anything that is currently important.
...... shoot, or on things that aren't. there is a conspicuous absence of CSM responses and yet i still get spam mail from them about voting. I hear more from my city councilman then from the CSM. Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

I personally voted for Roc Wieler because I liked the majority of his ideas, as well as the ideals that he represented.
Here's the thing, the only member of the CSM I have heard **** from or about is Trebor Daehdoow, and that was in response to an EVE mail I sent the entire CSM. He took the time to reply, for which I can give him credit, unlike the rest of the council.
I actually did hear from other members of the former CSM, but that was only around election time when they were scratching for votes. I will always support the people with the ideas and ideals which align most with the things that will be in the best interests of New Eden, EVE Online, and the players.
But honestly, with the current CSM, I am less than ****ing thrilled, because they haven't said a damned thing to anyone about what the hell is going on, or if anything is even being done. And that is just wrong.
They are supposed to be the voice of the players. Not those who say their piece, do things to benefit their alliances, and pass it off as for the good of all. "War is not measured in terms of who wins or loses, who is right or wrong.-á It is measured in terms of who survives." |

In fairness the CSM has little ability to influence which way things are going until you are in the room in person. You can make all the pretty arguments on forums you want but nothing actually ended up happening until we were able to face to face say that somebody's idea was dumb. Also just cause they aren't posting doesn't mean they aren't reading and making up their own minds based on your input.
If you want a personalized response I recommend you mail a CSM member directly. It's much MUCH more effective. |

Pretty much this.
And Trebor Daehdoow is a ####ing joke.
He's a political shovinast (sp?) who will stop at nothing to get an extra vote.
He only shows up and says a few things when it makes him look good in the spotlight.
I have seen little to nothing in the way of results as far as CSM is concerned.
In any rate... I don't expect CSM to ever produce results in a direct sense.
What I do expect is for them to do their ####ing job in representing the community as a whole and actually show up and participate on a level that makes it seem like they are at least trying.
None of this EVE Mail bullcrap. No private convos behind closed doors.
Actual public participation in Assembly Hall and Feedback threads so the general population knows they exist...knows they can be approached and talked to.
The only time I ever see them show up in frequency is voting time.
And that frankly... is an insult and makes me wonder how the hell they get anywhere in the first place.
Abolish CSM? No.
Light a fire under their asses and get them to do their ####ing job and make an effort at it?
Hell Yes. ================ STOP THE EVEMAIL-áSPAM! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=78152

I have absolutely no idea who the current CSMs are nor what they're up to. I don't know what issues they're working with CCP on nor have I seen anything from then regarding.... well anything really.
Do we even have CSM members this time around? I honestly don't know. You wouldn't complain about needles when you get a tattoo. So why would you complain about PvP when you play EVE? |

What is the pretty nice part of this inventory ? The bugfest ? The mess ? The unusable and really hard handling part ?

Mostly we are not raging (in public) because it doesn't help. Those days are past now because CCP isn't dropping the ball on things the day after they put them in the game. That's why Soundwave pushed his update blog out - to prove that they aren't going to just walk away from this.
As for the calls to 'revert' back to the old system, that's not going to happen. It can only evolve forward from here. If you think that the changes to the inventory system involve a "couple of lines in the client" then you have no idea of the complete and utter mess that is the 10 year old server code implemented by dozens of previous employees, many of whom no longer work at CCP.
Speaking for myself, I'm not disagreeing with anyone that the inventory system was released far too early and needs to work better. The "unified inventory" has removed a boatload of previous inventory functionality and replaced it with a laggy click fest which is downright painful to use. I almost stabbed my monitor last night trying to find a couple mods to re-fit a ship before a fight.
Right now I'm not raging, but I am annoyed, as my gameplay has been unecessarily made much harder and, for now, I am biting my tongue and giving CCP the opportunity to demonstrate that they will get this crap fixed quickly. Just because the CSM is not writing a ton of ~words~ about it constantly doesn't mean we don't understand what is going on or isn't going on. We have spent quite a lot of time this past couple weeks talking to the specific devs doing the Unified Inventory stuff, linking threads / posts and trying to help prioritize what needs fixing / iteration first.
Several of the CSM members have blogs & twitter accounts and have been on several podcasts and EVE radio. We have published the schedule for the first summit next week well in advance and have asked for feedback on the schedule in Jita Park as well. Here is the thread specifically about the U.I. team. I'm PRETTY SURE that the Unified Inventory changes will be front and center in that session and after hours as well.
Feel free to continue bashing the CSM; we're going to keep fighting for you anyway. CSM 7 Chairman My Blog - Where I say stuff Follow Seleene on Twitter! |
