CCP reserves the right to remove/add/mute players at will. All logs will be publicly posted (URL to follow). Those applicants that have been accepted, expect an EVEMail soon. All CSM members have an open invitation to attend. Link to the focus group signup LOL - Nothing like keeping your focus groups narrow minded and single focused.
You really couldn't have a more biased focus group if you tried.
I feel sorry for the couple of WH guys - The odds of being listened to are well against you. As for the rest of Eve, again we get change to suit the worst aspects of Eve.
My opinions are mine.
If you don't like them or disagree with me that's OK.- - - - - -
Just don't bother Hating - I don't care
Why can't CCP see the obvious - Large dominating groups are bad for Eve.

There are actually several well-versed WH capital pilots on that list, in terms of both WH capital PVP and PVE. Yes there are - Shame the rest of the group is so unbalanced (or is it simply a Dev bias). and of course balancing capitals to suit Wh'rs is so good for everyone else (no offence to WH, I feel sorry for you as far as these changes go)
Why ask for volunteers if your only going to stack the group with members of elitist blob groups? No way can this group give a broad view of how the average player uses (or wishes to use) capitals.
CCP continue to make it so evident they don't care about small groups. Setting up the blobs to better maintain balance of power is such a good direction for Eve, or any game for that matter.
My opinions are mine.

To compare, there's 8 sov null people. You should probably stop posting.
You know the kind of people who comment on Fox news articles ranting about " dem darn immigrants taking ma jerbs"? Ocker is the EVE equivalent that, only with blobs instead* of foreigners. You can't counter his little diatribes with your crazy concepts of 'logic' and 'facts'; they're not welcome and certainly not understood. * to be fair he could also be a racist too, I don't know Did you guys even read what I wrote.
I'm sure many who come here to these forums just can't understand simple English and so interpret posts how they want them to read. Fixating on the fact there are WH representatives in the group, when that is far from the point - So narrow minded.
I acknowledged the WH guys I knew and said I felt for them - If in fact your right and the group does have 9 dedicated Wh's - that is worse. Between the WH guys and the blob representatives - Where do the rest of us get our voice - Oh thats right - We don't fukin matter because I'm an idiot who can't see when a focus group is stacked AGAINST his (and his groups) style of play.
Yes xttz - Blobber who just doesn't play eve - We all want PL and Goons to decide how the rest of us use Capitals in K space - Because that is a great idea.
As for Sulzer - Try reading what I wrote and replying - Don't bother replying to what you THINK I said. (8 of the top 10 listed + another 4 at least, lower down the list, all nul groups - if my math is right 8 + 4 = 12 :- not 8) -- - -- - -- - -- Personally I don't give a crap about WH escalations - If CCP balance Capitals so a niche group can run escalations it is no better than them balancing them for the likes of xttz and the risk averse group he plays with. (log in once a month or so at the bequest of the blob lords to get on kills or in Xttz's case - every few years)
-- - -- - -- - -- Wander Prian - Another one who didn't read what I wrote - Or just thought it pertinent to add useless information - If most WH groups are so small, why do they need 9 representatives on the focus group when small group K space player groups - Who also field 10 or so dreads but live with the threat of the blobs dropping on them every time - Don't get a voice. Not one representative from a small unaligned group - Yet someone who has not participated in a fight for 3 years is ok? CCP Bias or just this Dev? (picking your friends does not make broad focused group)
Your WH capitals are safe from the rest of New Edens capital groups - Don't see PL dropping 50 supers on your 10 dreads - Do you? (It happens to us often)
My opinions are mine.

Gewnie intentions reek from miles away: 1) Protect the blessed jump range reduction that keeps Deklein out of hotdrop range. 2) Secure and expand the capital ratting, flourishing as a consequence of 1). 3) Preserve and expand the impenetrable safety mechanics for ratting capitals. 4) Turn supercapitals into defensive N+1 superweapons to secure the irl income sources until eve dies.
Pathetic Legion intentions clash with the former: 1) Undo Phoebe, because butthurt. 2) Secure and expand dropping capitals on rifters, as a consequence of 1) 3) Obtain and expand the impenetrable safety mechanics for moving capitals. 4) Turn supercapitals into offensive N+1 superweapons to secure the tear income sources until eve dies.
They will quickly push for the respective 3) together, forming a corrupt coalition, but the following ego clash over the rest of the respective agendas would probably be fun to see. I am going to refrain trolling the **** out of you because it would be too easy. 1.) If you could take the tin foil hat off for a few seconds and look at some of the things I have said in regards to supers you will know I am one of the biggest advocates for fixing supers so that small groups can operate moderately safely with them. Especially the guys and gals trying to move their super through lowsec. (I can move my supers through lowsec because I have a fleet of 100 of them) 2.) the 'Gewnies' don't care about 'protecting deklein' most of our active ratters enjoy the combat when they get tackled, check MoA and NCdot killboard for the past months you will see that Deklein isn't some safe mecca. 3.) You can currently make more isk doing HiSec incursions with complete safety. 4.) There is a wide variety of different viewpoints in this group from many different parts of EVE. 5.) You have no idea what the top level of this games motives are as shown by your 8 bullet points. No one wants EVE to die. 6.) The #1 goal of everyone I know is for capitals to have a reason to be fielded thus being put at risk for pvp purposes. 7.) The logs of the slack channel will be logged and made public so everyone will know whats going in.
6) (the only one worth responding to) - Is not going to be achieved while ever groups like your exist - You simply create too much imbalance with your risk averse game play.
Until there is reason for the large dominating groups to fight each other - Small groups will always be "content" for the blobs. CCP has no idea how to and no intention of, getting the blobbers to fight each other, so nothing changes. (As long as they keep paying subs CCP is happy - Small groups don't matter) Capital ship changes.. Jump nerfs and fatigue.. Citadels.. All worse for small groups than blobs. No amount of ship balancing or new Citadels (Which further limit the ability of smaller groups to operate supers, optimally) is going to change the risk averse nature of PVP in Eve.

This is literally worse than T3 group. I guess for the next group CCP bias will finally get full power, and corrupt people finally get the majority they need to get rid of everything threatening their bot empires in eve. I know I'm not very well known, but to put me in the unknown list hurts my feelings :\ Seems you put yourself in the "unknown" group. Most of us know your intentions are not in the best interest of Eve as a whole, your alliance alone says that (maybe not corrupt but certainly biased)

I was an unfortunate member for a good while. Being around fools and puppets for so long left me jaded. For some, the risk averse nature of Goon game play is just too much - It is boring, it is game breaking - it is just pitiful.
Now lets see, a slightly closer look. BOB were an all dominating group no-one liked - GOONS is an all dominating group no-one likes. Only difference is, Goons could never achieve what BOB did without all their pets.
Goons alone are nothing and would soon fade into oblivion to become just another alliance - Which is the only reason they cling so tightly to a style of play others want to abandon - For the good of the game. Goons are what force smaller groups to seek out other groups and align (or quit nulsec and move to lowsec), which in turn causes stagnant boring game play - Without coalitions Eve would be a vibrant lively battleground - More than likely, without Goons because they simply could not survive as an alliance.
CCP need to accept most the blame for the sad state of nulsec game play - They allowed it to happen. Goons and pets, renters, whatever you choose to call them, are just the risk averse fools too afraid to change and play the game..

(does anyone have a link to the slack logs.. are they available yet?) Well obviously I'm unknown, but the question remains as to whether I'm also incompetent or corrupt, maybe both. Since you seem to be so great at passing judgement on people you don't actually know I figured i just must know what you think of me. It's just oh so important. P.S. Selling out my adgenda for 10B isk and a vouch to PL. Actually I haven't passed judgement on anyone I don't either know (as in have spoken to on more than one occasion, been in fleet with many times, etc) or have had other 1st hand experience in game with.
You on the other hand are making unfounded false accusations - I'd now put you in the incompetent and corrupt groups. Narrow minded (unable to separate truth from fiction), unknown and therefore untrustworthy, come to mind too but I didn't make the list of who's who, so didn't get to pick the categories (that was actually someone else).
Logs aren't edited enough for public viewing yet?

No tinfoil needed you just confirmed, what you responded to as correct. I'm pretty sure when someone says ALL LOGS, it should mean all logs.
Only "official" feedback will be available to players - Stinks of - Get your deals in before the logs are "official feedback", that way you can be seen to be seeking some sort of balance officially while having already got what you want privately. That is what you just said above - Isn't it?
Talk about reducing your credibility.
This is eve where telling lies, backstabbing and self serving interest groups, are part of daily game play. Maybe I've spent too much time dealing with self serving political groups and individuals (in and out of Eve) to be open minded about a group who could potentially further reduce (remove) my ability to play the way I choose - IE; not in blobs.

Quote:Thanatos: 5 (0) mids, 6 (0) lows - Gallente Carrier skill bonuses (per level): 15% increase in Fighter squadron maximum velocity (Crazy Idea disclaimer) 15% increase to ship warp speed
How about - Amarr Carrier skill bonuses (per level): 10% increase to Armor hit points (buffer fit, reliance on FAX) 5% to Fighter damage
Gallente Carrier skill bonuses (per level): 10% to Armor Repair Amount (local reps, maintain mobility) 15% increase in Fighter squadron maximum velocity

You still talking about the few 3 month old logs or is there actually more, that haven't been made openly public?
It just seems the focus group got together, threw around a few vague ideas, tickled a few egos and disappeared.

@Scott, yes the site was tided a bit CCP, posting blue dev responses which was nice. I was just asking if a giant master file can be appended to each day at log rollover so there is one master file to crtl+F through  I didn't realize it was still a thing, thanks - I'd given up looking (about 2 weeks ago).
