Missions & Complexes

As mission runners, do you actively vote for CSM's when candidates campaign? Do you tell your non-forum counterparts to vote? Do you even care? I'm curious to know because, as CSM 8 is coming up, I see people screaming death to high sec and miners and just about no one on the other side shouting back.

Like...no one. No one to defend PvE, missioning, high sec life, high sec mining, etc. All I see are people like James315 and Tippia touting either risk v rewards rants or simple hate mongering against people like miners.

So, do you lot care much at all and try to get others involved?

If not well, I guess the others are right, and you all get what you deserve sadly; being walked on by the "l33t" crowd.

Yes, it is. Would you like to keep it that way is my question. You've seen GD and gods know how many other threads regarding nerfing highsec. My question is if the actual nerfing of highsec has ever really gotten high sec people to want to vote to ensure their play style remains their play style and is not interfered with.

The problem is they do. They scream eve is pure PvP, pure hardcore, etc, etc. They refuse to acknowledge that people should be able to play Eve casually. Instead, they go out of their way to, well, ruin the experience for them. I'm surprised no one has noticed the pure hate for high sec players. Hell, even after Mittani gate happened I doubt we'll see a lot more high sec people voting. I really wish that, even though they are more casual gamers, highsec players would vote, en masse.

Mittens always tauted his 10,058 votes, why can't high sec people do the same? Sad man..

And what happens if it continues? What happens if CSM members keep pushing for events like that and continue to push for high sec nerfs and suddenly, those threats become tangible? I'm not whining or asking for high sec to be made safer, I'm more concerned with the status quo and the CSM having a representative that has lived in low/nul, resides in high and has a balanced view of the game (pro for PvP AND PvE), sees the relationship is needed between the two, and adds to the CSM.



I'm sure nothing DRAMATIC like high sec removal would happen. As I said, I'm concerned more with the slow chipping at high sec and the containment of a virulent and unwarranted hatred towards high sec players, despite economic ramifications CCP may endure going anti-highsec. I'm not saying they would, but then again a vote here and there for a highsec person wouldn't hurt.




I wouldn't worry about the hatred if it did not have the potential threat to the playstyles of highsec casuals.

Most politicians aren't widely known prior to election to major office. They run a campaign. If ONE high sec person was aggressive enough to speak out against nul/low full representation on the CSM, it would be enough. I like Eve, a lot. I've been on it since 2007. I'd rather people not need to vote with their wallet and simply leave.

lol, on what platform :P

how you mean what platform ? what am i going to try pushing for in that if i can work out a decent plan to present ?

ah hi sec vocal representation may well give a fresh veiw and som ideas that null and low sec player might not have considerd before.

Could you describe the nature of the threat you perceive? Because I'm having trouble imagining it.

Actually, it doesn't seem as bad to me as it's been in the past. These things definitely go in waves.

But then I don't read GD. Ever. As a rule. But here and in Ships and Mods everyone seems to be getting along, possibly better than usual and definitely better than a few years ago.
