I bow to your superiority mittens!

and the rest of the point i mentioned?

No change in hanger functionality, "ship spinning".
No change in pricing of nex.
No improvement with communication.
Ridiculously sparse devblogs combined with dissapearing acts from the devs.
No content or improvements to gameplay in expansions.
Failure to deliver the racial captains quarters as promised,
manipulation of the july minutes creating yet another point of conflict and leading to a failure to release tehm.
functionality such as fittings taken away so they can be charged for later.
QEN's cancelled.

There is no 'red meat' from the CSM yet because the expansions we've got our handprints all over come in Winter. So there's not much utility we can demonstrate to the playerbase yet in terms of raw gameplay changes, because the Incarna stuff was already in development/heavy production before we took office, and is still sort of looming over us like a bad hangover. Sure, there's devblogs about TiDi and commitments from CCP about 'no gold ammo', but codewise all we've got thus far is the removal of the ship change session timer.

This makes complete sense, and I'll be the first to step up and say, I buy that answer.

Looking forward to winter, keep up the good fight. Dont let the angry mobs get you down.

Lobbying for CCP to focus on FIS is virtually too late...

Hello Everyone,

Amidst the recent forum activity about reports of decreased subscriber count, discontent about lack of resources allocated to "Flying In Space" (or, as we know it, Eve Online) and, despite Gridlock and Team BFF's efforts, general stagnation when it comes to fixes and improvements, the CSM just met with CCP's Senor Producer for Eve Online: CCP Zulu.

During that meeting, we discussed the players' concerns with the man who has the ability to resolve them. We cannot share the details of the meeting itself because it is heavily NDA'd, but ways to resolve your concerns have been discussed and a follow-up meeting is planned.

Stay tuned...

Meissa Anunthiel, Vice-Chairman of CSM 6

Guys, there is nothing any of us can say at this point more than what we've said.

But know that we are working hard on your behalf to get CCP to address your concerns regarding FiS.

I made myself pretty clear on my stance on things in my blog a couple days ago. This meeting was something of a surprise and the content of it was enough to convince me that CCP is taking the concerns of the CSM and the players very seriously. Beyond that I cannot say more.

I know it's hard for people to accept but we are pushing very hard for complete and solid information to be passed along to the players as quickly as possible. We are scheduled to have another meeting soon and the CSM will continue to push for MORE NULL-SEC and WORMHOLE changes and less Incarna Catwalks.

If things are implemented as planned at the moment, by the CSM7 election no one sensible will doubt the power or scope of the CSM.

From the available evidence, because you're not too bright and twist everything to fit your pre-conceived worldview?

This isn't mine, but it does a great job of describing how folks feel:

Rage!

Sing, Godess, the rage of Gianturco's son Mittani; who brought forth a sea of discontent to break against the rocky shoals of Reykjavik, and stirred the hearts of capsuleers to rebellion against the fair-haired masters of New Eden.

I find that fact the minutes were put out and most people still don't know about them is just more of CCPs now famously bad communication skills.

I mean come on guys get it together. Your a world wide company. Try to act like it. Stop making the CSM do your work and take the brunt of your mistakes. I have my issues with the CSM and how it works and how people get elected. But im more sickened by they fact CCP is clearly putting them out in front of the mob so unfairly on so many issues.

Though i can say some CSM members are just tossing gas on the fire half the time.

the same argument used in the other thread. Out of curiosity, your NDA doesnt have a clause noting you arent allowed to refer to the NDA in the manner you all have been? I know the one for SWTOR does

an just so you know, what this truly says is "Im glad we have a NDA so we can point to it and shrug mysteriously"

It's not a bone being thrown. Meetings like this one, when they reach their conclusion, take the form of a devblog and CSM posts. I believed it important for you to know that discussion is underway to address the problems, even if I can't disclose in what way yet.

I don't think the CSM is suggesting that we should ever back away from "actions, not words". Meissa was simply informing the players, as best he can through the NDA, what has taken place - an act of information, not persuasion.

"a thing happened" is not the same as "EVERYTHING IS PEACHY LOVE THE CSM LOVE CCP."

What in 6 months?



How bout starting with the minutes of the last meeting before you start on a new one?

..... I still favor the same stuff I favored when I ran for CSM, you can see details on that in my blog (linked in my signature). In general, the CSM is all in agreement that the *critical* issue right now is balance (especially supercaps, but including all ships), and we would like to see that fixed ASAP.

Dead Horse is one of those proposals that cuts across every corner of EVE, because everyone who has ever had to deal with one knows that POSes are utterly miserable.
