I have just read your manifesto for high-sec and must say that it isn't worthy of consideration. Just more nul-centric diatribe of which we have far too much of coming from the CSM as it is. Personally I feel it would be better if the CSM was dropped done to two sets of six members with two members from each half GENUINELY representing the issues and residents from the nul, low, & high-sec communities. Then we might get some fairness and move away from the fallacy that nul-sec is the end game of EVE Online and the best place to be which it isn't and nor should it be so.

EVE Online is a sandbox within which people are free to do what they like and enjoy without having the shallow views of one community forced upon the entire playbase.

I strongly suggest you cut the ****, affix the Goons badge to your lapel and be honest with yourself and to others. You'll feel much better for doing so. Smile


What's "null-centric" about it?

"punishing people for playing EVE the wrong way."

It is not possible to play EVE Online the wrong way Malcanis as it is a sandbox.

So a manifesto based on the idea that we shouldn't punish people for playing EVE in hi-sec and that we should abandon the outdated idea that players should "progress" to 0.0 is "null-centric"?

My, the things one learns.

I agree that going to 0.0 isn't "progress"... it is wanting to play a different game style. A game style that need to be changed/buffed. Too few seem to be interested in playing in that corner of the sand.

It needs more, because players are voting with their feet and going to highsec.

Yep, but that's not to say that there shouldn't be options for high-level gameplay in hi-sec too.

I'm not sure you read his post. If you did, I would have to say, I'm fairly sure you didn't understand it.

Brandy is also an acceptable refreshment for the gentleman pirate.

One should be drinking something fancy when a nicely fitted faction ship is on the line, IMO

I tend to think that it's a waste of time for any CSM members to get caught up in the minutae of specific gameplay styles or specific game mechanics.

I think that CCP knows perfectly well what's wrong with the game, why nullsec is stagnant, why high-sec is unexciting, etc etc. they know full well what needs to be done. I'm sure that most CSM candidates and the players also know this. Dear god we've been tellling CCP for long enough.

Therefore all the CSM needs to do, is to put pressure on CCP to just get the f**k on with it. We don't want endless debates and meetings, we want results!

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.

Such optimism is often the first step down the road to disappointment.

Oh I think know know what's broken, they've just decided that fixing it is far too much effort.

I could ask 10 players what was wrong with the game and get 13 different opinions (3 of them would change their minds after hearing what the others said).

Then would come the discussion about the priority and scheduling of the various issues and we'd have 13! opinions...

If we can't get a lo-sec pirate, a hi-sec inventor, a 0.0 fleet commander and a W-space Dreadnaught pilot to agree with what's wrong with the game (And I'll bet you this year's pay to a badly damaged Impairor hull that we can't), then how can we expect CCP to have to clear idea?

It's actually quite a good reduction of the whole CSM process to say that you should vote for a guy who - more or less - shares your opinion on what needs doing and who you think will be an effective advocate for getting at least some of it looked at.

So far as the game issues discussed in these 30-odd pages are concerned, I'll be delighted if CCP even unofficially say that they need looking at. I'll consider my job as a CSM to have been superlatively successful if I manage to get a solid commitment to review one area of gameplay.

I need to go to Oddbinns and get some of the good stuff... Oops
