I mean, make gud posts that are well thought out and if it gets a ton of support we'll happily forward it to the appropriate party.

Well... ton off support...

Once upon a time I was following/posting in a GD thread, then I went to sleep and next day I tried to catch up but had to "move heaven and earth" to find that post (because it had been moved).

So I made a polite complaint here that 'normal' forums had this "this topic was moved to...." function.
And since then you guys have been so kind to do that.

Not saying it was just me but I'm glad I could help a bit.


Like I *think* I did help a bit in April 2009 when I posted this on my other main and it soon changed a lot like I had drawn.

Again not slapping myself on the chest but I do think very, very sometimes my tiny suggestions helped shape this universe a wee tiny little bit.

It depends perhaps at who picks it up over at CCP, thinks 'why didn't I think of this' then runs away with it.

I've had a few of my ideas implemented.

The longest was 4 years. The shortest was maybe a month (next release).

Example of the longest one, which even the CSM help to champion (I originally made the proposal to the CSM):

The most important thing is to get CCP's eyes on it. That can mean posting in a few specific places / threads, which varies depending on the type of suggestion.

If you really truly think you have a suggestion that should be implemented, your first course of action would be to go over the F&I subforum and either find the relevant post or make a new one. As a general rule, unless it's a "little thing" or already on CCP's roadmap, it's not going to be considered. For example, "new ship class idea!" threads are going to be ignored. If you want CCP to see it, go to a CSM member (mails are usually fine) and ask for feedback from them. They'll be able to tell you if your idea is good, bad, already considered, can't be considered (legacy code), or worth further discussion. If it does end up being discussed by CCP or the CSM, you can pretty much guarantee that you'll never hear the details. That being said, a friendly CSM might be nice enough to let you know if it was discussed and what sort of response it received - that's not NDA for us, although happens rarely.

Really, tho, as a member of the aforementioned CSM, I'd really appreciate it if you screened your ideas past the general playerbase so I don't have to be the first one to tell you it's stupid. TIA. Big smile

They don't. CCP considers feedback only for their own ideas, and even then it has to come from enough people for them to consider it, therefore even the best ideas are ignored if they are made by players. CCP won't even pop in to say "No".

take this one for example which was even posted in Assembly Hall. one of the best ideas coming from a player in the last couple years and not a single CCP in sight and even the one CSM in there didn't even follow the thread and instead dismissed it as broken.

Except that evidence shows that they do.

That idea hasn't even reached second page in the Hall.
And that, of course, does not tell you anything.

You're really all alone.
