EVE General Discussion

So all we have to do is to put you on ignore and that's all it will take to make the CSM unfail.

Look, the CSM Chairman has already stated multiple times that he doesnot and will not represent you unless you are one of his chosen few. Can you reasonably expect anyone to change this after that standard has been set? Nobody ever raises the bar. It just gets lower. So if you're expecting representation you might just be setting yourself up for some real disappointment. CSM is a PR/meta-gaming stunt that could have been good. I suppose that would have been by accident though.

:laughs: Single Transferable Vote. This is the excerpt on it:



More than our dear little Gregor Marethel missed in his biased dislike.

I don't need to prove you wrong, applecheeks. It is in the CSM Minutes that is accessible to EVERYONE. Here you go, go read them. So no, no lies, no condescension. I am just showing you that what you say is not what is actually happening.

And what does skin colour have to do it? You are juding the CSM by their alliances, instead of by their deeds. That is the type of mindset that creates racism, divides between people and so forth.

Go read the minutes. Educate yourself and learn what has actually happened, not what you imagined based off their alliances. You'll end up being a better person for taking stock of what is really happening, instead of judging people off factors that hold no real relevance.

TiDi originated with CCP; the CSM pushed it because it's a good idea that helps solve a general infrastructure problem. Oh, and BTW, TiDi has turned on in Jita on occasion.


Before the dark days of September, there were few resources available for FiS fixes. When CCP reshuffled, they knew they could only plan for "little things", which is why you saw a lot of general improvements -- especially to the UI and general features -- that were broadly useful to everyone.

Over the next 6 months, you'll see more of that, plus bigger things that are generally applicable. For example, Team Game of Drones is working on big improvements to the way you manage your inventories.

Sure, there are conflicting interests, and each CSM has their own personal priorities. In the end, based on feedback they get from players and from CSM, CCP makes resource allocation decisions. There are lots of areas of the game that are broken, and even with the new resources CCP is throwing at it, hard decisions have to be made -- and often, factors like "how can we market this?" perhaps have a higher priority that some might like. But that's just life.

For my part, I will continue to push for more resources to be put into general game improvements (such as the UI, or doing a rewrite of POS's and Industrial mechanics), because they would be good long-term improvements to the game that would impact large numbers of players. But at the same time, effort has to be put into fixing more focused areas of the game, like FW, missions, mining, sov, etc., etc -- and the blunt reality is that it can't all be done at once.

CSM has not yet seen what CCP is going to be working on as their headline feature for the summer expansion but I would not be at all surprised if it's something related to FW and/or highsec wars. Several CSMs, myself included, pointed out in December that FW was overdue for some love (or perhaps, more overdue than some other things) and that doing something innovative there could provide insights on how to "fix" nullsec sov.
