The funny thing about this is that if the game fails now.. all of you are just as much to blame as CCP is.
Like driving someone elses car off a cliff?

You guys lose a game. CCP Employees lose their jobs (or maybe just start a new game).

Lets hope you guys know what you're doing... I don't know this for sure but I'm guessing that none of you have experience in making an MMO successful.

I'd rather let CCP keep doing what they believe is best. It is their business after all.

(I guess this refocus is what they believe is best)


A better more accurate analogy would be, CCP is driving their own car off the cliff. You're insinuating that it is somehow my fault for yelling at them and jumping out of the car.

They are driving. It's their car.

Doesn't mean I have to ride along wherever they want to take me. And it doesn't make me a bad guy for yelling at them for driving like ****.



Now I'm supposed to be happy because they are all "ok I promise I wont try to drive us all off a ravine and kill us again". I think we deserve a bit of apprehension. For god's sakes, we had to lean across the car and grab the wheel. Confidence in the driver is not high at this point.

The CSM believes that:

* CCP should significantly increase the development resources being dedicated to Flying-in-Space (FiS).

* CCP should strongly favor iteration of existing game content over shiny new content.

* Any new content should be directly related to providing support for iteration of existing content. For example (this is not a proposal, just an example for illustration purposes), an expansion of space could be used to provide opportunities for small sovholding, and materials for new POS structures and manufacturing.

* The "little things" and Team Gridlock initiatives should receive additional resources.

* CCP should listen to the wishes of the community, who have repeatedly indicated which issues are most important to them via crowdsourcing.


This and every +1 after it, is you guys trying to drive the car. Tell me that you aren't trying to steer them in the direction you want them to go and I'll give you a look like "oh really? that's nice".

What I am saying is that it will be partly your fault if they do what you want and it doesn't work so well.

I don't think the word crowdsourcing means what you think that it does.
