I have read two articles giving both sides' view of the CSM meeting that just took place in Iceland. The first is the CSM view--read it here. The second is an interview of a CCP representative--read it here.
Assuming you've now read both, what do you think?
I think CCP's view of where CSM should be working and CSM's view of itself are two different things. It appears CSM went in with a list of items the players want fixed (most of which CCP was already aware of and have in the pipeline to fix). CCP wanted to hear from them big ideas of where the game should go next.
I have definite ideas of where I would like to see the game go next. I haven't heard any plans past ambulation yet from CCP. I think its high time to introduce planetary activities to Eve. To begin with, they don't need to be much different than stations. You land at a spaceport and do station type things as well as interacting with the planet itself. I see room for all kinds of businesses players could engage in on planets. Everything from farming to factories to planetary mining (opening up all kinds of new ores and minerals). I see opportunities for players to terraform uninhabited planets and plant colonies there. I see new resources for players to fight over, and new ways that system control can be established. In short, I agree with CCP's view of things--we need big ideas from CSM, not bug fixes.

I can agree and appreciate CCP's view on what CSM should bring up.
I think it was inveitable to bring up "smaller" issues in terms of vision. Also, I think the big issue this time, as expressed by several council members(Internet chieftans), was the lack of expectations that CCP has openly set towards the council.
We can hope that people will start thinking "big" after reading the interview with Noah. I urge anybody who has good ideas for where EVE should be heading over the next few years, to post on the assembly hall.
Thank you LaVista. I voted for you to be on the council and I believe you guys are going to do a good job. It was inevitable that this thing would start slow, but I believe it will be something big as time goes by.

Although some of you have made some nice analogies I don't see it as an either/or thing. Overall, I believe CCP addresses bugs and balance issues very well considering the magnitude of the game and the effects that fixes have on everyone. At the same time I want to see the game grow up.
I raised two children. My overall goal was to help them grow up into mature adults. There were "bugs" along the way, and we fixed those we could, but the overall goals was to keep them growing in the right direction. That is the way I see Eve.
