There have been thousands of posts over the years containing the "fix lag" mantra. For many of us it's simply become something we deal with on a day to day basis, making the best of the situation and dreaming of a day when we could click our modules in the often touted in interviews "large fleet battles" that many of us are engaged in, and have them actually respond within seconds as opposed to 10-15 minutes.
Large fleet battles are a major selling point for CCP. They are sexy. Furthermore, lag is something that impacts every single player of Eve, whether you be a 0.0 territorial alliance, a factional/empire war corporation or an industrialist who never leaves empire.
I also realize that CCP accepts and knows that this is a problem, so a mere issue raised of "fix lag" isn't going to accomplish anything. What I'm proposing is that we see a commitment from CCP, as we've seen the past 2 or 3 weeks, that they will keep the players informed of the steps they're taking as regards the fight against lag. I believe that part of the continued outcry stems from a lack of communication on their part over time. This is understandable in some respects as it's certainly more exciting to be selling your new content, but NOBODY who plays Eve today does not want to know about what's being done to rectify the performance of the game.
Posting 10,000 dev blogs about ambulation in a year and a few minor blurbs regarding lag isn't doing anything to pacify the mob, and in reality all I think is required is a bit more regular communication with some actual results and numbers to point to, as we had with the Stackless IO blog and the recent posting regarding upgraded servers.
tl;dr I'd like to see frequent communication from CCP stating that this situation is being rectified, and detailing the steps the dev team is taking to combat the sources of lag. Not everything needs to be out in the open as I'm sure some of it could be exploited, but at the very least a degree of communication should be had which will show that they understand this is an issue and are committed to dealing with it.
While I'd love to raise a topic of "fix lag" I think that this is a more realistic approach, that may actually pay off.

Now this is a lag post I can fully support. Communication with the players - both actual and perceived - would do a lot to alleviate many of these concerns and ease player pressure. Plus, I'm naturally an inquisitive sort, so getting more info appeals greatly to me.

More communication from CCP concerning what has been done, what is being done and what the future plans are to attack lag are would be greatly appreciated. I support this proposal, however they also need to stay vigilant on the issue of actually fixing lag in addition to communicating what is being done about it.
I consistently and frequently raise the issue of lag in massive fleet battles in hopes of keeping the volume turned up on this issue which is of a grave and pressing nature to EVE. To many subscribers who play EVE for many hours every month this is really issue number one. We often wonder why we are incapable of convincing CCP that without fixing lag EVE's future as an un-sharded MMO is questionable.

Absolutely support. This is the one thing that stands between me and the feeling that EvE can actually deliver on its years old promise of large fleet battles where you can actually play, and not just watch a slideshow.
Do more, inform more.

It's almost insulting that someone on the CSM has to point this out to CCP, but I guess that's what they're for
