I guess I'll play along for a bit... So James, what is it you would do to help enhance the EVE experience for new players such as myself? What kind of content, or enhancements would you work to help create in highsec to provide us with a more enjoyable gaming experience?
Honestly though after browsing CSM minutes and listening to town hall meetings I don't exactly see what the point of this whole CSM gig is beyond perhaps a popularity contest who's winners apparently win free round trip airfare to Iceland (which I assume is paid for by our subscription fees). Surely CCP could (and I hope does) read forum feedback from the community itself rather than relying solely on a council of players, among whom I don't feel a single one currently represents me as a new player.

I take it you've tried reading the forums and found the amazing feed back, such as: Because of Falcon Blobbers Nerf Local Buff CONCORD Gankers ?! In my highsec? I wouldn't know about any of those things, I'm more concerned with stuff like how long it takes me to train basic combat skills required to be competitive against established players, the repetitive nature of missions, and how changes to highsec being called for by those who live in low/nullsec will affect my new player experience.

Both threads locked by CCP for inciting unconstructive ranting and attacks among the EVE community, and you wanna nominate this guy for something constructive? "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine |

Judging by those threads I think a considerable portion of highsec players disagree, myself included. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine |

"I DON'T WANNA THINK ABOUT REPRESENTATION" Considering that at this time I view the CSM as little more than an extension of the CCP public relations department established primarily for the purpose of calming the masses when CCP does something they don't like, I'm not sure how over or under representation for a particular group is an issue.

Companies do it all the time. Yes CCP does at times listen to its customers in regards to game direction more often than not. But on the topic of the CSM, Paul has a point. It is a PR tactic, but to say they are only a mouthpiece for CCP's PR department and nothing more is unfair. They are elected by the player base, and serve as the player base's mouthpiece too -- CCP doesn't control what they say in CSM blogs, interviews, etc (beyond the NDA). Someone being on the CSM also gives more weight to their complaints, which can sway player opinion, CCP opinion, and (most potently) media opinion. I doubt CCP's PR department approved the CSM making mockery of CCP by lambasting them in public during monoclegate. You would make a great Tea Party member *puts on his tinfoil sombrero to shield his brain from the naivety*.

If you're uncomfortable with the topic of discussion requiring you to actually get informed, think, and make decisions for Eve's future, there is a report button to get the ISD to make the problem go away. I just reported this topic, I suggest others do the same.
If you're unsure how to report a topic go the the OP's first post on page 1 of this topic and locate the little flag in the row of text below where the word "report" is.

A screen will come up asking you to enter a reason why you are reporting this topic/post (Please move to Jita Park Speaker's corner with the rest of the CSM topics), once you have added a reason hit the submit button and confirm you would like to send it.
