NO SYMPATHY HERE


History repeats, it has happened before and it will happen again.


I think we should put Himlar up in the hall of fame next to Star Wars Galaxies.

Let him have his Hall of Fame award in the HISTORY OF MMO FAILURES.


BURN BURN.


Why? Because it will show the rest of the INDUSTRY what NOT TO DO.

Make an example of CCP, as some of us did with Star Wars Galaxies.


Send a STRONG warning to the MMO industry.

I, for one, feel very positive and optimistic about this. Sure, it's easy to be sceptical and to pour scorn on Hilmar's words but acknowledgement of your own mistakes is a huge step.

However, I'm not counting my chickens before they have hatched...CCP still has to deliver. It's just better to look forward to CCP's efforts with a feeling of positive anticipation rather than an expectation of further disappointment.

Good job on the message, CCP. Now don't let us down on delivering the goods.

The community is subservient to the interests of CSM members. That is the challenge facing the CSM today.
Never heard hardly a peep out of the CSM when the furor started a few months ago, now you are really selling us this idea that it was the CSM behind this all the time?

We're hardly 'behind' anything pulling any strings, but we were in close communication the whole time, and we still are.

Think about it like this: "We helped!"

The main reason? Sure.
The only reason? Proof please.

Holy crap, a post from CCP and it's not vapid, devoid of content, and vaguely insulting.

Plus: New Drones? Actually decent Hybrids? A T2 Rig Revamp (so they won't cost $JITA to buy?)

I AM SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.

SHOW us in ACTIONS
not words.
Even you know how little words mean, you said it yourself.

Humility and authenticity are rare qualities these days, and rarer still in the context of business.

I sincerely appreciate the candor, prescience, and empathy Hilmar demonstrated in his letter.

If he (and CCP) can demonstrate the same in their actions, then I'd say the future of this beautiful, merciless experiment we call Eve is safe.

Much like the U.S. armed forces, in which I have nothing but respect for the men and women that are doing what they believe in even though the foreign policy they are doing it under is just ********, I have the same respect for the members of the CSM for stepping up to the plate even though the CSM as an entity is a colossal joke.

Hats off to all of you for fighting for the community as a whole. Many of you going above and beyond what you needed to do in the last crises.

And thanks to Hilmar for the timely statement. I look forward to seeing how things develop.

Better yet...let's do away with the election and let Chairman For Life Mittani choose who he wants to have on the council with him. That way we could avoid having to deal with people who break NDAs to leak information to biased news sites and anybody who think crowdsourcing is a real word.


^^This.

FGS, those of you who are still bitter, still shedding tears, you have obviously not read and understood Hillmar's latest blog.

Furthermore, whether you like or dislike the CSM or in this case, specifically CSM6, you're just closing your eyes to the fact that things are now in the open. Without this CSM, despite your drum-bashing, chest-thumping, statue-shooting, matter would have been far worse.

Try keeping your personal feelings in check and go through the blog with a logical mind. It is also logical that "The Mittens", love him or hate him, had a great deal of positive effect in all of this. Your fear and hatred are precluding you from seeing the light. More tears please.

Posting something like this took balls. It takes a bigger man to post an apology, to say he was wrong than any of th epeople out there smacktalking every single post in these forums.

People will also smack in this thread, just remember that it reflects the size of your balls publicly.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

I've said dozens and dozens of times on these forums in the past few weeks that I am dissatisfied with Dominion and have been for nearly two years now and the proof is in the pudding that if CCP does not fix or remedy the situation come winter a lot of us will likely see no reason to remain in null sec. Hint: Even Goonswarm is bored with null security.

Apologist, hardly. Stop thumping your pulpit.
