You know,
once upon a time when the CSM was introduced people saw it as a free trip to Iceland, others saw it as a way to get the inside scoop ahead of time, and yet others saw it as CCP marketing (which to players has a different meaning then what until this CSM many CCP staff considered it to be).
Over time, that changed, because of striking a balance between the entertainment of the elections, and getting to work when those were over. After all, accountability is not something which solely applies to CCP.
Personally I don't give a **** about preferences in game play, political backgrounds or anything like that, because the CSM concept is pretty much the only thing that has a potential to have a solid impact.
I couldn't care less about personal differences, or private petty emo. I really have zero interest or feel for PVE or anything related, but for the process that does not matter one bit.
But what I do hope, is that people realise that until the next elections begin, there is a lot of work to be done if the last resort of this CSM concept is to have an impact on CCP, on all levels, especially those levels where the decisions are made.
Yeah, we all like the gossip, the stories, the entertainment, but given the state of the game itself in being in shambles of half finished content and feature sets, the future for the product shown by product marketing, the abyssmal performance of the game, and the enormous divide between players and those who make the calls and do not play themselves, you would think that people would be able to think for a moment. Especially those who stepped up to get to work, because they told their voters to care and safeguard their fun & comfort zones.
Tbh, as a player, I would expect the CSM members to work as a team, to sort out balances and differences, to keep finding best practices as well as compromises in order to keep their noses pointing the same way.
I don't need to hear or read this kind of ****, regardless of actualy or factuality, it is misplaced, without useful focus, and it diminishes the CSM as a whole.
Why? Because it's the last straw to get through to CCP. Because you signed up to work for it. Because you committed yourself to be there for EVE as a whole and the people who voted for you.
What do you want, honestly. Next business monday the people at CCP who make the calls, visit the forums because through a lot of concerted effort and work they have actually woken up, they see stuff like this and wave the last week aside again. "K guyz, was a tough week with those guys in Iceland, but lookie, they can't keep it together, alright, so what else can we introduce for the Winter Expansion which lacks PVP content, has tons of Farmville in it, and makes people stay less long in EVE?"
You know, us players, we can fool around and do stuff, CSM members, they have a responsability they themselves chose to take on.
