Can you please stop using the term 'metrics' when you mean 'statistics'. 'Metrics' is just the newspeak term for statistics and is only used by politicians and companies who belive 'metrics' will coax more trust from an audience than 'statistics'.
Please help protect the english language.

The CSM can't really make demands, its not like it has any bargaining power. It can try to make sure CCP understands the players views and give some suggestions to improve the design as well as give some feedback on any alterations. I'm sure they will do good but donĘt expect the 'no to micro transactions' camp to have any success. I also expect they will be helping CCP to communicate clearly that micro transactions will only ever be for vanity items and hopefully why CCP will keep their word (i.e. Because they understand that 'pay to win' would destroy the premise of the eve sandbox).

'What really needs to happen is CCP speak to the player base as a whole not just a select group of people.'
They tried to in the dev blogs but the forum warriors don't bother reading them. In the last year CCP has clearly communicated to the players bug fixes, lag improvements, and even finally making the difference between BPO's and BPC's. To suggest that they haven't been working hard on refining the game is only a display of your own failure to read the dev blogs.
I would hope CCP would have grasped the urgent need to reintroduce the ship spinning screen as the alternative to captains quarters on day one of the new builds release.

I think the pricing of the the items in the nex store are stupid, but my post had nothing to do with that. I was pointing out some of the small improvements that have made massive improvements to the game. When I went to my first fleet fight their were 300 people in one system and lag was about 60 seconds, thats if the sever didn't drop your connection. They have added more ships, more modules, wormhole space etc etc. There is much more they can do, there always has been and there always will be but the game we play now is a substatially bigger and better that the one I started playing several years ago. I still miss the nano gangs though

Some posters need to learn the value of patience and stop behaving like spoilt children screaming 'I WANT IT NOW' I look forward to the outcome of this meeting and would rather have a well thought out response to the criticisms than a rushed, half baked, load of trash. Whatever the response from this meeting will be, even if CCP reversed the last patch in its entirety and sacked various devs (and even dropped them in a volcano) it would not satisfy some players.

Quote: The CSM's do have bargaining power US.
The CSM does not own players (some might pwn other players but thatĘs different ) Wait for what is said at the end then pass judgement, donĘt sit sit there in an angry prejudiced ball spilling pointless bile on the forums. Learn the value of patience and understand that CCP needs customers and will do what it takes to retain subscribers. It sounds like some players have made up their minds based on their own emotions rather than anything CCP or the CSM has done.
The fact that some posters can't understand that not all CSM's could justify time off work within such a short time-scale speaks volumes. LIFE>COMPUTER GAMES learn this well for your own sake.

Part of the problem with 'paitence' though is that people are at a point where Paitence isn't going to last.. we've been waiting over a WEEK for answers... The big one is that instead they can 'spin' what ever they want... the [sic] is NO Transparency between CCP and US, because we don't get to see ANY of these meetings only what they WANT to show us.
1) A WHOLE WEEK my god thatĘs such a long time! (sarcasm) 2) Spin doesnĘt work so well on the endless hardcore cynics like yourself and all the other angry impatient types. 3) If you play the game and learn how it works then you will have all the transparency you need. Either they make it better or worse.
Given that this new expansion leaves 99% of the game untouched (the 1% being that you cant spin ships in station any more) and adds an additional percent which is totally ignorable in game (NEX, AUR etc.) I cant help but laugh at your hyperbolic commentary. Cheer up!

'A bit' is an understatement.

Quote: 3. I've played the game for a long time now and CCP very very rarely does exactly what they 'say' they are going to do.. else faction warefare, space combat issue, etc etc etc would all have been fixed.. a long time ago and WIS / Ambillation would have been out 3 years ago.
If you can grasp just how complex eve is then you can appreciate just how difficult it is to add and amend content. Just giving us graphical difference to bpo's and bpc's without killing the server took a revamp of the database code. CCP even told us how they bought about this change and the complex challenges it posed. They were more transparent about it than most games companies would be. The point some people fail to grasp is that all the gameplay that we all took part in before this update is still there. If you wish to cancel your account because eve introduce pay to win, fine (I would too) but to cancel it because they introduced 'pay for monocles' is rather over the top.

Quote: AS WE DONT CARE ABOUT THE PRICING.
Who is this we? Do you think you speak for the entire eve player base? Do you honestly think that CCP can get away from this mess without expanding on the question of whether it will be just vanity items or not?
CCP Zulu:
Quote: there are no and never have been plans to sell "gold ammo" for Aurum.
They need to go further than this but that will take a decision that will be far reaching. Could CCP introduce a mechanism for buying a titan pilot alt with AUR without breaking the game? If they rule it out now they will never try and we will never know. I would rather CCP thinks long and hard before an announcement than rushing in and regretting it later.

Originally by: Ilmunel ccp dont want to answer main question, so i think they decided to go beyond vanity items, and csm will be used to tell it us
Translation:
Originally by: Ilmunel I don't know what ccp will say so I will just just assume the worst
If you are wrong will you be sure to post as many comments on the forums about how happy you are? Will we see a 400 page thread of people saying how happy they are if CCP reassures them that it will only ever be vanity items for sale in NEX? Do you grasp why CCP get so fed up with the forums? Do you understand why they have a forum whine index?

The CSM exists so CCP can have substantial, face to face discussions with real players rather than only getting hyperbolic feedback from the forums. Sensible calm debate or "i feel physically sick even typing 'CCP'" or how about "The problem is that the ceo has told everyone to ignore the players" Or players who think "Short of a family emergency I wonder why those [CSM's] that haven't gone bothered to ask for our votes if they can't attend something in game as important as this." It's amazing how polite and level headed face to face converstations are in comparison to internet forums. YOU ARE ALL JERKS (Irony )

Originally by: Psychlo So a whole day of meeting. . .and absolutley nothing of substance reported. . . .
EXCELLENT!
CCP and the CSM have stated that the announcement will come after the two days of meetings, not during. Calm down and get some patience, maybe you will be able to buy some in the NEX store soon!!!
