So, I have a question:
Does it matter if the vast majority of casual players would absolutely hate the proposed nerfs and removal of convenient gameplay mechanics?
I pretty much disagreed with everything these "CSM guys" want (aside from the Supercap part). And it infuriates me that CCP actually has these private meetings with a small group of players who represent only a very small percentage group of Eve.
Not everyone who plays Eve is a hardcore Roleplayer, not everyone who plays Eve spends thousands of hours of their lives doing forum debates (in an RP style), not everyone has oodles of time to waste in the game simply to please the CSM guys way of wanting the "game to be".
I would really hate if CCP actually changed their game based solely on what these CSM guys feel is needed. I know for a fact that the majority of players would be strongly against some of the stuff written in these meetings. As the majority of players have real lives and cannot afford harsh game mechanics, it would break the game for them.
The CSM meeting seems really selfish to me in that they are merely considering what they want the game to be like in their opinions only. It seems to me they hardly take into consideration what the majority of Eve players would want.
It really sickens me the way the meeting was discussed and I can assure you that these CSM guys are not at all an accurate "representation of all Eve players". It seems to me so much time is wasted because CCP is by no means getting any sort of real opinion of the majority player base. They are just hearing the opinions of a handful of hardcore forum geeks who like to RP.
Cutting out all of these walls of texts and simply placing a new poll each week on the main website would garner way more accurate feed from all Eve players (this is just a random example, there are easily dozens of better methods). It is clear to me that if CCP simply takes the CSM reps opinions as an Eve general consensus, CCP will then have very inaccurate views of its majority playerbase's opinions.

What? I don't even... ?!
I probably should have elaborated to explain that I was referring to mainly the industry sector of Eve.
I fully realize that Eve is a harsh game with loads of dire consequences which makes all other MMO's look like Hello Kitty Island Adventures. I am not saying any of that should change. All I was trying to say is that making this game even more inconvenient for casual players would overall have a negative affect on the game, not a positive one.
Also, that part you snipped in particular was probably the only part of my original post I didnt really like to begin with. But I just let it stay anyways. Now, non-surprisingly, it gets quoted.

Just noticed that only two of the nine CSM are in sov holding alliances.
CSM's talking out of their asses about stuff they know nothing about, this shouldn't be a shock CCP has been trying to kill null sec power blocs for 2 years now. The funny thing is that remember when we had the second great eve war, that was really fun the entire of 0.0 was set up in 2 camps it had a feeling of immenseness to it that made eve something interesting to play with all sorts of emergent gameplay and giant slug fest fleet fights that was amazing what their suggesting is a devolution of eve and will turn 0.0 into just another pve zone
Not everyone appreciates dividing Eve into two camps and duking it out in 10000 person fleet battles. To me, the only kind of epic that is is epically stupid.
-Liang
Then please join a pirate corp that does small gang pvp or an empire war corp but don't destroy 0.0 so you can enjoy your style of eve.
At the same time please consider that with only two out of nine CSM guys being in SoV, then CSM guys have no place in being in charge of what the majority of Eve SoV players want. (since mathematically the seven non-SoV guys will overrule the two SoV guys).
If CCP wants the Eve playerbase's opinions on SoV warefare/0.0 space, they should do a direct poll or communication of some sort with us. Not let these Empire-dwelling CSM guys make the say for us. Like I've said before: It's also a terrible idea to put avid roleplayers in charge of anything game mechanic related. These guys actually feel they are some real Congressman of New Eden or some crap. They think it's all real. What we need is practical gamer-type people to give opinions. Regular joes who don't think their Avatar is a real person.
