If you knew anything about the living hell I've had to go through these last 5 days to get to Iceland and back you wouldn't be spouting what you're spouting now. A mixture of flight delays, missed flights, lost passports and more just so I could go to Iceland and shout at CCP for 48 hours only to crawl home (I'm STILL not home nearly 72 hours after the summit ended) and I get to come back to people sitting in their diapers crying about how we were 'bought' by CCP. You literally have no idea what you're talking about and I've actually put my physical health on the back burner for YOUR interests and so did the rest of the CSM so just chill out with the endless stream of nonsense you constantly fire at us. We're not superheroes and we made some serious sacrifices to be able to drop EVERYTHING to go to Iceland and hash this out.
We didn't get drunk and we didn't have fun because quite frankly we were too tired, too stressed and too overworked to be able to stop for a moment and consider anyone's concerns other than yours. The same can be mirrored for CCP who were genuinely worried and concerned about the problems the players had. We sat and watched as THE greatest technical achievement the company has ever put forward was perpetually overshadowed by problems. I'm sorry if you didn't get everything you wanted exactly how you wanted it but your entitlements stretch far and beyond their reach so simmer down and think about what you're saying before you say it.
Sorry, White Tree but that's an absolutely ludicrous response. Application to the CSM was entirely voluntary and you should only have thrown your hat in the ring because you WANTED to contribute. Myself, and many others willingly put ourselves forward, but the Goonswarn / NC campaign to block vote and seize control of the CSM you and Mittens decided to orchestrate put you where you are.
If you don't have the desire, energy or ability to sit on the CSM them you have only yourself (and your political agenda) to blame.
As for why the 'protest' failed I don't think it failed in the slightest. My main observation is that whilst the way CCP managed the whole issue reflected very poorly on them, the way some parts of the community conducted themselves also reflects badly on all of us. Seeing people blackmail, threaten and abuse CCP staff, coupled with the wildly inflated and blatantly false claims of unsubscriptions from thousands of faceless alts undermined our credibility, maturity and contribution to the debate.
