Jita Park Speakers Corner

So I made it pretty clear I did not run for CSM to be the "good idea fairy" and a wanna-be game designer. I ran to make sure CCP has plans to improve mining and industry. Turns out they do. In the mean time we get requests from CCP about what we think and what we think the players think about CCP's plans to do new stuff in Eve. I respond as best I can to those asks. And when I disagree with CCP I make it clear why.

For example, the low sec gate gun mess, I think there is merit to changing their behavior as part of making low sec more interesting to a larger set of players. In the thread that captured the good and bad of that idea it was clear many players were in favor of some change. I have tried to convey to CCP that while the proposed idea may not have been ideal, there are players that think gate guns would better if their behavior was evolved. I am trying to make sure CCP keeps those players feedback in mind going forward.

So I am not "sitting around quietly" even though I'n not constantly blogging and posting giant forum threads . That has never been my style. I am doing EXACTLY what I promised I would do if elected.

One other point, I am not focusing my CSM efforts in getting elected to CSM 8. I am focused on doing what I promised to do if elected.

As to those members who produce, I must ask how much was done by the CSM 6-7 Members on the areas of industry and POS's given that we have now had mining barge re-balances and the soon to be introduced mining frigate.

This seems to be a lot of work as when combined with the upcoming POS changes and all during a WAR based cycle.

Especially with the only CSM 6 contributions on the matter to these areas as listed in http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/CSM_6_Activities_Summary are "How complex should advanced industry be? " and "POS Fuel pellets. "

So while the CSM can provide valuable input that the devs could use for a sounding board or even suggesting ideas the community likes, how much input have the current CSM 6-7 members had on these important changes? or for that matter on the UI mess we had earlier this year?

I also noticed no mention of fixing the old super broken Corporate Roles/permissions system.

Greene Lee: Language barrier to the max. Doesn't spend much time communicating with CCP. Seleene and Hans hear that he might be doing a bunch of translating to Russian players.
