Dump them. Sack them. Kiss 'em off.
Find a method that represents ALL players and let's not have another year of self-congratulatory BS served in ego-wrap.
Follow the path taken with Crucible, listen to the majority when they speak (i.e. Jita Riots) and refuse to acknowledge the self-servers who claimed credit for what YOU, CCP, ultimately did.
IGNORE the morons that did everything they could to BRING THE GAME INTO DISREPUTE with public "foot stamping" - the same people that pushed for game changes for the betterment of their own alliances. A MINORITY of EVE.
CSM 6 is corrupt, biased and downright dangerous for THE GAME.
WE DO NOT want a repeat.
CONSIDER random surveys from random players ad hoc to draw opinions/direction.
>> SAVE THE GAME - KILL THE CSM
While the sentiment of your complaint is admirable, no one likes being left out in the cold or thinking they have been, you've ignored or failed to see that Null Sec is simply designed to take advantage of any democratic voting system. Players in null are conditioned to work as a group or fail. High sec has no variables in it's environment to form this type of cohesion; High sec supports fragmentation. It makes sense that Null Sec alliances would dominate the vote once their leaders made an effort to do so. The possibility of massive high sec alliances exist but no one has taken advantage of the environment. They have been given ample examples to follow. If such a group was to form they could take advantage of the same voting system as the null bears do. This is not a permanent reality simply the reality of the moment.
Do you have proof of corruption or are you emotionally responding to the typical hyperbole that successful (and the not so successful) null leaders spout conversationally?
Do not put too much into Crucible. It was a great PATCH. A timely PATCH. The addition of ships was great but we saw no real expansion of the Eve Universe. Sov problems remain problems. WH space unchanged. Hi-sec mechanics problems still remain. Incursions are still an isk spouting joke. Hell, much of WH space is an ISK faucet of epic proportions but most of us don't interact with it. Time Dilation arrived late. I will say the reduction in timers was appreciated. Eve is in a fix the problems phase right now and that would have come CSM 6 or not. It simply could no longer support half baked expansions and unimaginative fixes. CCP came home with flowers and a hug instead of ignoring us and putting their feet up on the coffee table. Let's see what comes.
Oh, want a change to CSM, get your friends and vote. Stir up the masses. Promise miners that you'll put a Bot in every home and 90% resists in every hulk. Lie. Scam. Play the game.

Given how many players are in high-sec, do you think that CCP could grow their player base by adding PvE content or more carebear friendly content? The CSM can't be trusted to answer that question because they don't represent hi-sec/PvE interests. CCP could be losing out on customers by catering to a null-sec/pvp oriented CSM. The CSM minutes contradict that belief. Their approach is fairly even handed across EVE as a whole. BS. There are several examples where the CSM - within those minutes- is using it's 0.0 bias as a "majority" to get changes to highsec that DO NOT represent highsec interests. ONE case was some arbitrary amount of a gankees insurance going BACK to the ganker ffs!!
That was not an unanimous idea or decision nor was it implemented and I doubt ever will be as it is moronic. And why should null-sec bears try to represent high-sec? That is not their job. Though I will admit some are laughably near sighted. High sec needs to get high sec leadership if it wants that voice. You also again contribute too much agency to the CSM. In fact (I wish I had the quote) the CCP Chairman stated that he was concerned about game play being too focused on one type of player not long after the Mittani began uncharacteristically boasting of his "influence" on CCP actions after Incarna. You seem very energetic about this, go out and form a high sec power bloc. |
