Jita Park Speakers Corner

Yes I want Developers to waste their time talking to me about what I want..... very much yes!

I believe they can be creative and do it in a way that doesn't waste their time and still manages to allow ALL players PVE and PVP to have a say in changes, features, balance, etc.

A simple way would be just a log in questioner with only multiple choice responses and then tally up percentages of each question asked.

The dev could see that 80% of the people liked or disliked an item or feature.

Two slight corrections to be made.

1) CSM tries to represent all the players because we want the game to be better. That being said I am thenominal Hisec person but I have heard well reasoned arguments in defence of hisec from other members of the council.

2) We are elected by a majority of the people WHO VOTE.

Mynnna is right, though. If you feel that your voice is not being heard, write to one or all of us. Although I have been known to yell at my monitor I find direct communication to be more functional than that.

Note name of corporation - PVE Corporation. A cursory examination of the OP's eveboard shows exceptionally high standings with various highsec corporations. This suggests that the OP is a highsec carebear type who does not feel represented.

We've demonstrated that this isn't actually the case, that anyone can make their voice heard on the forums, that the devs often solicit player feedback directly, and that a CSM member is actually himself of highsec and is open to contact.

At this point, if the OP still feels they are not represented, I propose that it's because they're the type who finds it easier to whine than to do anything productive. Either that or they're simply trolling - can't ever discount that possibility.

Perfect example of my point.

Why in the world would I want to talk with you, when I should be talking with a Dev rather than a filter.
A Company needs no elected voice.

Yes, this corp player is a PVE account. I have 7 accounts with 16 active characters, 4 of which are PVP Low Sec only, 3 in Null.

We all know this... and as CCP will state over and over again.

If you have an issue, bring it up to the CSM. They'll let us know if it's a problem.

And, yet, you're not.

Why, it's almost like they don't care about you at all.

The bolded bit is considered listening to the majority, which is kind of how the CSM works, what's your beef again?

CSM did that. It was called The Little Things Thread. We took the results of that survey to CCP during the August Summit. (Minutes available Soon™)

The Devs do interact with the players in feedback threads for changes but you cannot seriously expect every one of them to pour over every thread in the Forums, here. I have what I call my paper route and I only watch a few sections and yet I KNOW how much time it takes and cannot imagine anyone monitoring all the threads, all the topics, and still getting any sort of work done.

It isa not a matter of the Devs 'wasting their time' but of them utilizing it in the best way for the game. IF you want them to listen to YOU, run in the CSM9 election and win.

You know that they cannot represent every single players personal views and get all of them implemented like, NAO!
Why does your agenda trump what is good for the other X players?

I know some people who want high sec turned into low/null sec, and others who want greater concord protection in high sec.

How do you suggest we implement both these wishes simultaneously?

If somebody can't be arsed to vote, the only person at fault is them. To be brutally honest they shouldn't complain about the result, they had an opportunity to make their voices heard, and decided not to use it.
