CSM is formed by a democratic vote system that includes those players who care about the game, decide to get familiar with CSM candidate's programs and cast a vote for one of the candidates. The current state of CSM is no one's "fault" but the players that didn't like Goons and haven't done anything in order to stop them from taking over CSM.
- If there's an interesting candidate that was from another alliance/corporation/faction that some of you liked, you should have voted for that candidate.
- If there was no suitable program offered by any candidate and a large mass of players agreed upon certain topics, then you should have presented your own candidate with a program that covers those specific topics that you all agree with.
Either way, the democratic system and freedom of choice between the CSM candidates is not flawed. The logic that abstention is not the same as saying that you don't care who gets to be in CSM is flawed.
P.S.> No, I won't say if I voted for a Goon or not. I'm only saying that the voting was fair and went in the best democratic spirit. If you don't like the current CSM, next time take a couple of minutes to review the programs of the candidates and cast your vote. |

My own personal opinion would be to maintain the current method of voting and CSM formation (after all it is up to people to vote for who they want - we all get the same chance and the ability to review everybody's manifesto), however, I believe the CSM/CCP should be there to put forward and generate ideas and potential game changes, which are then voted on by the playerbase via an in-game voting system (preferably at the log in character selection screen to avoid interfering with gameplay). The ideas could then be prioritised in order of popularity.
To ensure everybody is represented there should be some kind of weighting to ensure null, low-sec etc ideas can also move forward.
I also hope that one of these many CSM must go topics can stay in General Discussion to ensure maximum exposure (after all this is an important enough topic surely?) instead of being moved to speakers corner.
I still don't see what is wrong with the current system:
- Players post ideas in "Features & Ideas" and "Assembly Hall" sections of the forums. Anyone can do it: 0.0 players, pirates, miners, highsec players, hard-core gamers, casual players,...
- The important topics and topics with enough support are then gathered by the CSM and presented in one big crowdsourcing event list.
- CCP advertised for days that list on the log-in screen of the game and even put banners to remind/inform players that they have a chance to decide which ideas will have priorities.
- The weighting comes naturally from the playerbase itself. If players are relatively happy with the state of one of the aspects of the game it's logical to have less improvement ideas posted for that particular aspect of the game. You can not force an equal number of ideas when one part of the game is horribly broken and forgotten by the devs for years.
- General discussion should stay like that - General discussion. It's much more practical to have a section of the forum for Features and Ideas, like we currently have now. Apart from the Trade sections which by their nature have a high volume of new posts daily, the "Features and Ideas" section is the third most active forum section after General Discussion and CAOD. Merging F&I and GD would only mean chaos and decreased user experience for those who search for topics of the specific type. |

That makes a lot more sense.
Not when a specific part of the game is neglected over other parts. If The CSM is primarily 0.0 oriented that means only one thing - the amount of problems with the 0.0 gameplay is by far the biggest and a lot of 0.0 players decided to vote. |
