Quoting because this is the fact that keeps getting ignored.

Very true.

But it's the reasons they don't give a **** that people dispute.


Some reasons below:

They don't know the candidates.

They feel the candidates standing won't represent their interests.

They won't vote because they don't see the CSM system as fair of useful and hence don't want to validate the elections by voting.

Because the candidates have a vested interest in the game and as such are highly likely to put their own interests first.

They don't think that they'll stay playing the game long enough to even care who gets elected.

...

...and of course people that stand for elections always, but always follow through on their election promises.

Very little CCP can do to fix this.

You know, this reminds me of another game I've just restarted recently called Dark Souls. It shares a bit of it's style with Eve where it's fairly unforgiving.

However, when it first came out, the players got all in a hissy fit over just how unforgiving it really was. The game was literally next to impossible to beat. I had to cheat to beat several parts of it, it was just that freakishly hard. The rub? The players complained enough and they made it easier. They gave out humanity (one of the secondary resources in the game) like candy, make a lot of the monsters much easier to kill, changed various aspects of it to make it easier, etc. In many ways, they also essentially ruined the game because you cherished those little bits of progress. The other issue was that they had a cheat in there where you could essentially get max level near-instantly, and never got rid of the players who used that cheat, ergo PvP is a bit of a joke with a level 900 beating on a level 2 player (and other factors added in that essentially ruins PvP in that game), but I digress.

The point is, I think Eve should instead be made more difficult for everyone. Make all resources more scarce. Make it so concord responds much slower and can be destroyed. Etc. Etc. Then again, so many people invest so much of their lives into Eve, I know this would never happen (which I think is kind of sad. You really shouldn't invest that much in an MMO that doesn't really give anything back).

For the fun of the game. The saddest part that people need to realize is that low sec isn't hard to live in, and 0.0 isn't hard to visit. Living in null can be rather tough on your own since the npc stations are typically infested with pirates, but it's still possible. I see a lot of people claiming that soloers should join a corp. Quite frankly, I don't like most of the ******* in Eve, ergo I most often choose to play solo. But still, It's definitely not difficult to live in either, just learn the tips and tricks at how to dodge PvP that you know you'll lose or that you don't want, make isk by exploring (or mining, if you're really that desperate), and go about your business. Hell, if you're ambitious, you can even try building a POS. It's more fun out there anyway, god knows living in High Sec is essentially like playing Dark Souls and just staying at the firelink shrine the entire time. It loses it's fun.

I don't care if that was somewhat incoherent. I'm tired. **** all of you. I just want my new tengu so I can try something new and venture out into null and see what fun I can have.

Y'all don't deserve representation.

You have no skin in the game. No blood on the mat.

If Manifest Destiny was left up to you guys - we'd have been ****ed.



Null only survives as long as they run CSM - and hopefully CSM remains relevent to CCP decision making. Otherwise it's the slow roll towards Hello Kitty Incursion Island.


This is like my seventh post ever. I hate you.

…and we have no data about number of accounts per person (to say nothing about distribution of character and of accounts) so it tells us nothing about people.

But if a broken leg can't be fixed it might have to be removed.

…and thus we arrive right back at the fundamental question: is anything wrong with the current representation?

Is it broken? If so, how?

WELL IT SURE IS LEANING TO ONE SIDE!!!
And I think I've caught a whiff of something that smelled last fanfest but it was too early to say gangrene before it was cut of IMHO.
