To CSM members, were you aware of duelling?

Really just what the question says;

Were members of the CSM aware that CCP was prioritizing 'highsec duelling' over features that would benefit the general playerbase over a couple people who keep suggesting the same thing, because they don't know how to already facilitate duels?

If CCP did make the CSM aware, to what extent were the objections of the CSM?

I wouldn't be surprised if the duelling mechanic was a suggestion heavily pushed by Trebor...

I'm not a CSM, but I've been aware they were going to do it for 8 months(?)* or more, since that's how long ago they said they were going to do it.

* Believe it was brought up at fanfest, so closing in on a year?

Thanks. Wonder if anyone objected or not.

They said they were going to make can flipping give a suspect flag. People asked about a dueling mechanic. They said sure, we'll add that, as it is a part of the game they were essentially removing, but had no problem with. They said it would come out with Retribution, but :CCP: happened, and it didn't make it. They said they'd add it with 1.1, and now they're going to.

What exactly were they supposed to object to? That they followed through for once on something they said they were going to do? Or do you just have a problem with the "duel" concept that was in the game for many years already?

Thats a fair point, that it was done to alleviate the changes to previous duelling mechanics. My complaint then, is with the way they have advertised this as a new feature, and not as a fix to the (recently created) issue.
