Do you have any ideas at all that might make it more interesting? I understand that you're not running as a game designer (which is good), but can you provide any rough direction on what might be helpful?

Any rough ideas on how to change this?

Then you're doing it wrong. I am a casual trader and I still manage to pull in 300-500 million in profit every month. The serious traders who put in a lot of time make vastly larger amounts. What about the trading profession makes you believe that it isn't worthwhile?

It's nice to say "Oh stuff needs fixed!" but without providing any ideas on HOW you want it fixed we are unable to get an idea of what kind of candidate you are. Kind of like "Hope and Change!" What kind of change, exactly?


I posted some of my ideas in this and other threads recently. I'm not able to find them and re-post them at this moment (on a break at work) but I promise I'll collect them and give a reply to your very reasonable questions this evening!

Thanks,

Issler

Here is one post I made that might address some of your questions about my ideas.

That is a great question.

It wasn't clear what CCP expected in terms of how you got your 100 likes. I had stated another thread to announce the name change of the party, but realized that I was "splitting" my likes so I went back to the original thread. A few folks keep posting in the thread I'm trying to abandon.

Sorry for the confusion.

I see a lot of folks putting "re-elect" in their titles.

Technically I could add that as well as I was a member of CSM2 and CSM3!

Just sayin.....

The biggest things the CSM 2 did were:

1. Reviewed the POS production scandal and verified in an NDA-ed setting that CCP had no connection to the incident, that the effect of the economy was minimal and that the abusers had been suitably punished. The few of us with software engineering backgrounds got to see the bug in great detail on behalf of the Eve players.

2. We killed the combat simulator.

3. We showed that the CSM could come together and work as a unified group despite politics (CSM 1 had some serious internal politics that had made many say the CSM couldn't work).

4. Continued the pressure that eventually netted us the Orca.

CSM 3 showed CCP takes the NDA and abuse of the inside information given to the CSM seriously. CSM 3 also began the discussions about CSM terms that resulted in the longer terms that make the CSM more effective.

If you want more details it is all there in the Eve Wiki for those with inquiring minds!

The combat simulator was possibly the single greatest hope for miners. It allowed them to consider what space combat might be like while still remaining motionless and shooting rocks for mind-numbing hours. By helping to kill the combat simulator you destroyed the wet dreams of miners everywhere. I am now reconsidering whether you deserve the votes of my 23 mining alt accounts.

I'm working on a position on WHs. The TL;DR version is they have been too stagnant since their release, we were promised the constant stream of new content and experience in WHs and what we got was first version then CCP went off to find a new shiny.

I can say I am very opposed to any nerfs there. I was solidly against the crazy ore nerf the CSM 6 seemed to support.

More on them soon!

The most vocal opponent of the combat simulator was the then leader of your rabble, Darius Johnson. So take it up with your alliance leadership.

combat simulator will really entertain those who are always looking for 1v1

I would like to see more Veldspar out in Null sec... sure the rocks are easy to see, but try and get 1 or 2 cycles out of a rock it is just a waste of time.

Someday I will have the time to play. For now it is mining afk in High sec. In Cheap ships

It has been a while since I mined in null (syndicate), I should do a sneaky tour out in the void and see how it compares with my memories.

Every miners dream are those large rocks you can chew on forever! Ah, lulled by that sweet laser sound....

Remember, it is the dream of every rock to be made into a shiny ship!

In anticipation of the acceptance of my CSM 7 application I am announcing my first of many in game events to bring the miners of Eve together in solidarity.

The Million Miner March!!!!

We will stage the largest live gathering in Eve in the history of Eve!

Miners unite and show CCP and the Eve population that mining matters!

I'm working on the details so we can make this a peaceful gathering and not some gankfest for suicide inclined evil folk.

Look for details this weekend (also the web site is being set up as we speak!)
