Anyway, crowdsourcing is dumb. It's a buzzword attached to a simple poll, and CCP has nicely illustrated the danger of believing in buzzwords. It's nice that Trebor puts so much stock in crowdsourcing; if you like crowdsourcing and want to hear about it a lot, vote for Trebor for CSM7; he's a great rep and a hiseccer. And he loves his crowdsourcing.
Crowdsourcing! Like 'Excellence', perhaps if you say it enough times magic fairies will happen.
From the sounds of it, a crowdsourcing initiative would weaken you and your desire to make the players of Eve play the game the way you want it to be played.
I can see why you don't like it. |

If you only want the game played your way, and want to force others to play it the way you want, then being the chair of a group that filters out players concerns and presents the "most important" ones to CPP would help you push your agenda.
A more open system of polling, or crowdsourcing in this case, would make it harder for one group to push their own agenda as the most important one. |

Lengthy, obtuse polls that appeal to the spreadsheet demographic don't have anything to do with my ability to convince folks over a beer or two about my point of view.
But don't let that stop you constructing a conspiracy theory.
No conspiracy theory needed when you admit to what people are complaining about.
The vast majority of Eve players don't get a trip to CCP to have a beer or two with them to convince CCP to push the game toward their play style.
Polls need not be lengthy or obtuse. It sounds like you are afraid of objective measures, and would rather continue with the politics and the meta-game of the CSM. Players don't want part of their monthly fee going towards you and the CSM if it's simply a chance for you to convince folks of your agenda over a beer or two. |

So you are basing all these lame arguments on the assumption that The Mittani wants everybody to play the game exactly the same way he does? I hope I'm wrong because that's pretty stupid.
Are you a Mittani alt? or just a lackey that falls in line when you're told...
The CSM is subjective, and pushes the game towards the way they want it. We need an objective measure of what the players want, not subjective players who get to choose what issues get presented to CCP. |
