CSM Campaigns

You've got all my votes anyway because I appreciate what you do and the fact you do do it!

A question though if I may. I used to be in Es and Whizz and ran the operations in Fountain for our booster trade. We had a great roleplay component to the corp with the illegality of boosters that added something to the game (at least in my opinion) forging social connection throughout New Eden.

What are your thoughts about CCP introducing similar mechanics eg smuggling.
Story rich pathways being removed from the game.

I get why boosters were made legal but in my opinion, firstly, it would have been good if CCP had reached out to Es and Whizz and the other booster producing corps to at least ask for alternatives, opinions and ideas and secondly that drug smuggling is something intrinsic to the genre as an option going back all the way to old Elite and it's a kind of a shame such mechanics aren't available. It adds another pathway to the trading career both in terms of risk, potential success and also binding the community together. In many ways they've removed one of the most social parts of trading out which seems kind of counter-intuitive for a MMO and reduced a well-respected, even if not totally legit, alliance into just another corporate trading entity. And before someone states the obvious I can see the parallels here with the real world operations and the irony of that.

Whenever I've been talking about changes to mining, I've _always_ said I'd like to have the current way stay as well. At least, when it comes to the act of mining. You may be able to get an improved rate by paying attention, but not as a total replacement.

I'd like to see more gameplay around _finding_ things to mine. The only difference with multiboxing then, is that you may need to do that activity more often. (No, I'm not meaning, 'you find one roid, mine it, then have to find another'. clusters which would support someone for a while)

Thanks for the reply and good luck with the campaign.
