And please stop with the "free trip to Iceland", I've been there a bunch of times, I haven't seen anything but the CCP offices. Also, sitting for 8-9 hours of continuous meetings after meeting is gruesome work... Each hour the teams talking to us change, they're fresh, we're not... It's no vacation.
That's not even taking into account the time we take during the rest of the time to read forums, answer player queries and requests, spend time in our own CSM meetings.
If I had to charge the time spent on CSM stuff, those would be the most expensive holidays I've ever been on, and not a single geiser or whale picture to take back home for it.
Indeed, some think of the CSM as something like this: Linkage
Of course some of us actually read the CSM minutes and I wish more did the same. Its not about just throwing your ideas at CCP and ban hammering any bad suggestions CCP gives you. Its really about knowing the mechanics behind EVE as well as knowing what is resonably possible for CCP to do. The more both parties understand each other's limitations the less wasted breath there will be in such discussions. Its when newb CSM members get in and start spewing nonsense ideas/suggestions that things turn sour. There are things sour on CCP's side as well in that developmental resources have already been allocated and it can be hard to get any good suggestion/idea somewhat into the development process.
This is why we need more people like you in the CSM to provide balance and at least some insight into what would actually happen from a players perspective when certain mechanics are put into the game. And I'm sure you push for action against bots and rmt just as much as the next guy. However, if I don't see or hear anything of significant substance about what CCP is doing about such activities during fanfest: I am disappoint
I had voted for you before you sent that mail 
I hope you get reinstated to the CSM, you are needed.
I don't know where, I don't know when... but something awful is going to happen xD |
