Jita Park Speakers Corner

The majority of players are convinced CCP will do nothing to address anything they consider in need of attention. The majority believes, as they do with real life institutions, that CCP has already established the limits they'll allow from player input. CCP revels in the thought that the majority believes there is some real player input that is significant to the majority of players, but beyond that belief, has no intention of doing anything but pretend the majority never said anything at all.

The CSM, however, specializes in advocating what CCP already agrees with. They simply push for a fine-tuning of matters the majority of players don't even deal with at all. This serves two functions for CCP. a.) It allows them to claim they listen to player input. b.) It frees them from having to listen to the majority - period.

The majority of players will NEVER vote for CSM since the CSM does nothing that affects the majority but ensure nothing is done with regard to the majority, and since that's the way things normally are, it's a wash. The majority does, however, agree in whole that the CSM is a joke, but it's the kind of joke the majority is accustomed to...not funny, and totally irrelevant.

SO....

Vote for me for CSM. I can booty-kiss and sling BS with the best of them!

Some people save money to fly to Iceland... others just beg.

What each CSM member stands for should be more apparent to voters.
Under each candidate in the voting process, there should be a very little phrase which gives a rough indication of what the CSM member represents.
For example:
'Wants more highsec iteration'
or
'Death2allsupercaps'
or
'Wants WiS'
or
'Mining/Industry development'
etc.

The majority of players don't vote because the majority either don't frequent the forums do not have a good grasp of the english language are not informed directly by CCP why they should vote for the CSM or don't know who any of the candidates are and of course some just don't care.

I personally think their are too many candidates too as noone with a passing interest will look up all of them.

I thought the reason they don't vote is they don't know/care about the CSM.

If elected we in the Evil Party will steal candy from children and hurt cute animals.

The majority of people don't vote because of laziness and apathy.

Besides, if the CSM doesn't do anything, then there's nothing to complain about.
If the CSM does stupid things, CCP doesn't have to listen.
If the CSM does smart things, CCP doesn't have to listen.
If the CSM does something smart and CCP listens, then hey.
If the CSM does something stupid and CCP listens, I mean come on they probably didn't need the CSM for that one. :CCP:

I just don't see the problem. My only issue is that alts get a vote, but I highly doubt CCP has a tool to prevent that.

Why the majority doesn't vote for csm: Because the majority doesn't give a ****.

well i dont vote, because quite frankly i am not that smart to know what is best for the game in general ..

I leave it to people with visions

And i dont really rage about any change, since it does not infulence my gameplay in slightest way.. i just adapt..
If they radically change gameplay...than i would probably quit.. .so far nothing like that happened..

The real answer is that they've been waiting for the opportunity to vote for me.
