Hey CSM / CCP (really just the same thing), go for it.
Implement everything that this crew asked for, precisely as they asked for it, as soon as you can.
Nerf the crap out of high sec. Obliterate high sec.

I would really enjoy watching the fallout.
I look forward to reading in the papers about CCP layoffs as the sub rate plummets.

I live in highsec, and even I am in favor of nerfing highsec PvE (and simultaneously buffing low/null) in order to bring risk/reward to something resembling sanity. That should tell you something!

Oh... and while trying to control the miner's urine.

When viewed this way, one can broadly segment the community into four groups, each of which is attracted by different mixes of new features/content (Shiny) and improvement of existing features/content (Iteration).
Potentials -- people who have never or only briefly subscribed. (90% Shiny, 10% Iteration)
Newbies -- players with less than a year in the game. (70% Shiny, 30% Iteration)
Veterans -- players with more than a year in the game. (10% Shiny, 90% Iteration)
Bittervets -- unsubscribed veterans. (50% Shiny, 50% Iteration)

Not sure what the CSM is representing besides themselves here.

So to boil it down stop acting like a Null Sec lobby group and More like representatives of ALL players.

Why not ask Kelduum or Issler (the 2 highsec representatives) why they signed off on it going out as it did without any highsec content? Issler at the very least has been active - aren't you curious to find out why your highsec candidates have apparently failed highsec? Wouldn't you rather be proactive about this rather than just going the easy "ITS ALL A NULL CONSPIRACY" route which accomplishes nothing?

Did they sign off on it all that was said was that the current ACTIVE CSM members did, besides the authors who knows what that means.

As I have said to you before I personally would like to see Null fixed but not at the expense of Hi-sec and after the POS's and the corporate management system was fixed. Which is exactly what giving Hi-sec minerals to Null will do.

Nor am I a CSM member, it is my interests I represent, not the player bases as a whole, just as it is in your best interests to represent your own, which you do frequently.

...

* fun fact: Only 3 current CSM members are in alliances that actually hold sov - Greene Lee (AAA), Dovinian (TEST) and Darius III (Brick Squad). Only one of those members are top 7. Nullsec lobbying group, indeed!

Yes because what is the CSMs biggest problem after all the years of NUll sec dominance and control?

CSM 6 is the only CSM you can objectively say was dominated by nullsec, and that was largely backlash to CSM 5's highsec-heavy makeup actually being listened to by CCP. Then again, CSM 1-4 were the definition of useless so it's not terribly relevant.

Either way, you keep ignoring my point (Frying Doom ignoring a point to go off about whatever? You don't say!). You feel that this document doesn't adequately reflect the direction the game needs to go, that it's too nullsec heavy. Yet, it was authored by many people who have no stake in nullsec at all, so why won't you try talking to them about why they believe this? Hell, you pretty publicly stumped for Issler during the election, you'd think you'd at least care about her opinion. What gives? Are you afraid to PM them or something?

I know where Two step is from where are the others from?

As to Pming the members would it not have been easier if they had said these members agreed with this rather than the vague active statement? or if you believe so strongly that the Hi-sec candidates agreed to this why don't you go get quotes off them.

Alekseyev and Trebor are in merc corps (Noir and DNS). They probably operate in null (couldn't tell you for sure, though being mercs I'd imagine part of that answer is "where the money is"), but neither hold sov. Hans is a FW guy (Minmatar). Kind of embarassing that I have to tell you that when you've already decided that CSM 7 is dominated by null.

And you're right, it would be way better if the CSM members would explain themselves more often. They don't though, and you do actually have to prod them to get answers. Sucks, but that's the reality of the situation if you actually want answers. Of course, if you just want to keep pissing and moaning about invisible biases, go right ahead, and you'll be ignored by anyone with critical thinking skills as usual. Up to you, really :)

I think one point he made is very necessary right now: how can we boost NULL without nerfing every1 else off

All I'm getting from this thread is that High Sec needs someone who will be active and representing them in the next CSM.

James 315 for CSM.

Removed a non-constructive post.

Well, I tend to just talk about whatever is a problem in the game, regardless of what sector of ~space~ it's in.

Also, this picture is relavent.
