I have no issue with promoting his candidacy if he wish to represent the broad group of pilots in wspace. But if he doesnt have a desire to look beyond his limited experience then I am more unsure. These are important questions about his attitude that matters for a lot of people so I hope he takes the time to answer them.
The truth is I've only ever lived in c5 and c6 space. As far as C4 and below, months ago when I decided I wanted to run for CSM and I talked about it with a few WH'lers, they asked me the same exact questions "I wish to know if he has a desire and willingness to represent and understand all of wormholespace or just the niche he has experience from".
I've made a point to learn more about life in C4 in below since then. I read WH'ler blogs, I listen to podcast, I read over everything said in the diplo channels. Unfortunately there is not as much media coverage that I've found for the lower class holes in terms of wars. AAR style battle reports, fleet fighting videos ect to learn from. So if you have a site or youtube channel I'm missing I would love to educate myself more.
But from perception I've noticed over the past months C4's love thier dual statics (something I asked for in the wormhole eveo forums), Lower class residents still love thier Pos bashes with subcaps. They love the added nullsec data/relics. Quite a few corps joined the safety of an Alliance spread across multiple holes eventually ballooning to like 700-800 members. That alliance shattered because of cultural disagreements? As far as population, in my opinion there are more growing corps in C4 and below than in c5-c6. Probably do to not having roaming russian dread gangs evicting people every week.
I'm really curious if lower class residents are going to want to try c5-c6 space when they can live out of medium Citadels and have 3 hour per week vulnerability windows, something they can set so that its not in Russian time zones. I'm extremely excited to see the population of W-space in all classes increase with Citadels being available.
As far as the hermits that live in W-space that do not enjoy PvP and only enjoy mining and data/relic sites and exploration, if they have feedback that they want me to convey to CCP I encourage them to open a chat with me. Good ideas can come from anywhere, I'm not going to discount someone's feedback just because I spend my personal time in W-space a different way.
