At present, EVE online is as visually spectacular as it has ever been. Crucible, was a welcomed surprise as is CCP's new direction. Let us not forget what led us here, and what restored a healthy balance back to this game. YOU, the player... sent a message that was heard loud and clear to the highest levels of CCP.



Although the CSM may claim responsibility (in part or in full) for this change, it is the voice of the players that precipitated CCP's return to a perspective that made this game one of a kind. Only here could protests be followed up by (mostly) unedited forum outrage. Only here could a collective voice of untold subscriptions shake the foundations of a multimillion dollar corporation in another country.





The Backstory

For years the CSM has been a fruitless band of individuals that spoke much and achieved very little. As the years past and the frustration of the players mounted, most of the parts of EVE that were being ignored... went ignored by the rest of us. But when the straw broke the camels back, the players finally reacted. And through the efforts of the players, CCP was forced to listen and in doing so, IMHO preserved the game that they created for many years to come.





A Final Word

I just wanted to through that out there, for the sake of all of those out there who helped make this change. Masked beneath "you hate goons" and "CSM emergency... blah blah" and all the rest of the propaganda that floods these forums, is a unique community that can inspire change that not only effects a digital universe, but the real universe as well. Without YOU none of this would have happened. It was a hard transition, but you may have saved EVE online in such a way that it can now proceed into the next decade. That transcends all in game politics, the CSM and anything else that people might come up with.



* Eternum bows to the player base, thx CCP and then flips the CSM the finger.

Thanks to CSM6 the most effective CSM ever.

Did I do that right? Or do I need to give you a delicious tears as well?

You do every time you post.

Don't worry the mean man will stop thanking CCP and the players soon.

Thanks Eternum. Your tearful posts about Goonswarm are much appreciated.

You should post some more stuff in the CSM forum.

It's the first time I'm urged to use that Like button.

CSM people claiming the credits of so-called refocusing of CCP make me sick.

did he mentioned Goonswarm here ? **** i have to read it again

Check his post history. He's real mad about Goons.

its logic to bring up non relevant issues to this post it really helps you

Yes because if it wasn't for his negative feelings about Goons (especially the two Goons on the CSM) he wouldn't have made this thread.

Look at all those things the CSM didn't do like fix Hybrids and nerf sCaps.

well he didn,t mention the goons in this thread .
and in my opinion ,he makes a good point
So maybe he has some hatred for the Goons,but that's not relevant in this post

Like I said it's relevant because the only reason he made this thread was to discount and belittle the efforts of the current CSM. This is not a difficult concept.

As much as I make fun of the CSM (well, Mittens in particular), I do think they were rather useful this time around (if horrible communicators to the player base). So, though I agree the players' actions also had a large impact on what came about, I personally think you're off to be discounting CSM6.

i don,t think the csm could do anything ,if all of the playerbase kept silent.
