Wormholes

FFS I am not running for reelection. I would love some valid candidate do it though.

Having a ton of people on comms talking over each other makes it unbearable. Giving them a dedicated channel for this meeting that you can moderate will allow us to type questions, instead of talking over people.

That is not a bad idea. I will announce channel during the meeting.

comms are joint.fcftw.org and it is TS3

I missed it, had a CSM interview... Is there a recording available ?

EDIT: posted at the same time as the recording got posted !!

Thanks !

Why can't you *ever* be positive about well... anything?

Best policy in life - If you haven't got anything nice to say don't say anything.

I like to point out the subtle undertone of political bullshit. What can i say but i am here for the people.


If we all stood silent while **** people posted crap then **** people would get out of control.

Better policy: if you haven't got anything nice to say, it's because the people around you are idiots and need to be educated, forcibly if necessary.

Sum Olgy will hate this post even more.

MY TL;DR of the townhall.

- Chitsa went off base and moved the conversation in the wrong direction every single time he spoke. (How does this guy ever get any coherent work done while operating like a bipolar madman?)

- Most people apart from James wasted all the time they had with CCP Fozzie.

- I wish that chick was a WH CSM, topics of concern might get more focus and better questions asked to prompt action.

- Other non essential CSM's got on and wasted a significant amount of time talking about their own **** when you had James and Chitsa for the CSM > CCP perspectives as to how things get done.

- Talked about more ideas for C4 and Black holes and they were said over and over in multiple threads here... More wasted time.



I really couldn't find any positives to this townhall, it sounded exactly like the townhall that was had before last election and my guess is before next election we will have another townhall about C4's and Blackholes.

Yes the following is a wall of text but I hope it gets read and I like any kind of feedback.
Points of importance to me:

1. Delaying overlay sigs? Absofarkinlutely! But not making them available on probes ??? No! Stupid idea!

2. Cure to BH = ratting and industry bonuses????? That's what you came up with Chitsa? TBH f**k the industry clowns they are not the content providers in WHs and you want to reward them for it? Very few miners escalate nowadays so put this idea away please. take nerf bat, apply liberally to all BH's and swap them for a mix of the others thus providing more room for new corps.

3. Chitsa - You need to learn to stay on track! Simply throwing hand grenades into a conversation, closing the door, waiting for the bang and then opening the door to see what happened isn't what you're there for. You already know the contentious issues (If you don't then wtf have you been doing for last 11 months??) We expect our representative to tell us the progress of issues as they stand right now in your term and then ask for feedback not the other way around and certainly not ask for spitballing in the twilight of their term!

4. HIC and Dictor bubbles are fine the way they are. Traps still work just fine you just have to work hard for them.

5. POSes = broken but its not just a WH issue so I understand the over-cautious approach but I would like to see ALL of the CSM not just WHer's DEMANDING a timeline from CCP. At the moment you all seem to be laying down with the "Yeah we're aware of it and we'll fix it we promise" reply. I'd also like to see POSes/POS gunning ramped a little to actually be reasonably effective against a full on dread + carrier + subcap fleet defence but I know I'm in the minority on that.

6. AFK Cloaking - Leave it alone in ALL space. If null sec bears (let's face it the only ones really moaning about it) want to earn uber-isk then they have to accept they are at risk. Don't change anything because it will ultimately affect W-Space negatively the same way that instasigs did.

WH cloaking is an integral part of WH life. It requires patience and if I roll into a WH and see their activity line is 2 hours from now and they have bling losses you can be damn sure I'm gonna be in there for that duration and yes I may afk to go make a cup of coffee. Sorry.

Removing DScan whilst cloaking?? Just take cloaks off the market completely then because you just broke it for good.

7. @ Chitsa. If your CCP "guy" thinks WH space is "a bit complicated for the average player base" so what? So is effective market trading, incursion running, low sec ganking, blob coordination and any other niche in the game. Dumbing it down, which is a trend already in play, is not the way to promote it. Stop buying the CCP popcorn!

8. CCP Fozzie needs a rename to CCP QuestionTransversal, "Its been thought of, thats a good idea, no real dates, not really on the schedule etc. etc. The answer avoidance was supreme.

9. The big topics of the last year were actually NOT covered (Save BH-BS) and I did notice the C4 with dual statics was brushed on lightly but when the suggestion of dual statics for the bigger boys (C5,C6) was mentioned the convo got crickets followed by a veer-off immediately. Not sure why C5'ers want C4's to have duals if they don't want them themselves but maybe I was just misreading the chatter?


THE BOTTOM LINE
I don't know you Chitsa I've never been on comms with you and tbh this is the first time I've listened to you and I'm suffering acute underwhelment.

James (Don't know him either) on the other hand kept his comments crisp, to the point and without window dressing which is what we need. I feel he should (if he isn't) stand again but we have to separate the wheat from the chaff here and unfortunately Chitsa I for one am glad you are stepping down and hope you've enjoyed the comp'd trips to Iceland.

CCP decided to put the CSM into place and for it to be effective we do have to have people on it who are going to say no, represent their playerbase rather than their own agenda and stand up to CCP for as what we are ..... their CUSTOMERS!
