It doesn't help the CSM much when CCP doesn't communicate with them. Don't be so quick to dismiss the CSM, I've seen them posting. |

CSM have been posting more then CCP have, and have made it clear that they are just as much surprised as we are and have been kept in the dark on a lot of things
they are players themselves at the end of the day, and im sure a fair number of them are as angry as alot of us |

Edited by: Frederick Yassavi on 24/06/2011 15:00:49CSM members have been some of the most visible and articulate voices throughout this whole mess. I'm happy to have them. In particular, I recommend Seleene's blog. Edit: linkage. |

Have you heard anything new about when they will make a statement? You guys seem to know as little as us. |

I feel sorry for you guys at the moment, there's not much info coming in and out and I can imagine you're all battling for answers to the much needed questions. Here's hoping something good comes out of it all in the end. |

Glad to hear it. I just haven't seen anyone but you posting yet. I wasn't blaming this whole fiasco on you guys, just curious as to what the CSM is doing. |

The CSM is a group of popular 0.0 alliance guys who got a free vacation to Iceland on CCPs dime.
They really have nothing do with the average player base. |

Theyre doing the best they can im sure. Played with Seleene in BDCI for years and years(whats up Mark, SJ here) and hes an A+ guy that loves the game and wants the best for it. Ive got full confidencd they'll do what they can where their hands arent tied.
But yeah White Tree seems to come off a bit arogant and douchey, but dont let 1 person ruin the whole group.

We're not getting as much information as we'd like. We could have a more defined and solid answer to this if we had all of the variables in-hand to make a statement. What we can and are gauging are the players reactions to this. We need to take several factors into account such as statistical data that CCP provides to us as well as how loud the reaction from the playerbase is and whether or not a large number of people are clearly upset or whether or not a relatively small number of people are banging pots and pans really loudly. I'm not saying they are, but we need to take these sorts of things into account. Right now we're seeing a LOT of negativity so we're probably going to act on that but we also see a side the players don't: The dialog we have with CCP and what little information we've gotten from them is information we obviously can't repeat. For us we're talking a tightrope with a lot of the issues and attempting to collect the data and format it in a way we can use. However, make no mistake: The CSM is on the side of the players and we understand that when you guys are upset, and when you're THIS upset then something has gone horribly wrong. We're working with CCP to express your concerns and ours. Whether or not you trust us to do that is an issue that remains in your court. We're trying to figure this out, give us a little bit of time <3 |

Sadly this is more or less the truth. They have a few good ideas occasionally, but they're mostly the ideas that are painfully obvious. |

I'm pretty sure this is about the 4th "Where is the CSM" thread that has been found and posted in by your CSM. We are here, we are working really fing hard to talk to CCP and make sure that the views of the players are understood. |

Thats good to hear but for those of us that havent been around for a long time its hard to keep track of random blogs. Is there an easy way to find all your blogs? I just want to know when CCP are going to talk to us. |

ATM we're trying to get information in any way we can. However, the timeline of all this means that CCP is pretty much using what time they DO have to formulate a response. Hopefully one that takes this situation as seriously as it deserves to be taken. |

At this point, I think the CSM should resign in protest. It might, just might get CCP's attention. And, they sure don't seem to care what you think anyway. It's just PR to CCP. You guys deserve better. |

This, you have heard it from the CEO's hands. What we say means nothing. What we do is all he cares about. Resign and un-sub, the media backlash will do more than you remaining on the CSM will. |

I am by far the most disliked CSM, in the discussions, and frankly the CSM do not impress me much in general. Trebor, Mittens, White Tree, Seleene, Meissa, Elise and even Vile Rat are working VERY hard for the players interest. I dont like most of them, and in fact think many CSM are douchebags-but I tell the truth whenever I can-and the truth is that they are as shocked as anyone. The CSM I referenced above are very in touch with the players, and are communicating your displeasure to CCP. Their responses are well thought out, informative and mostly on topic. Many of them have personal blogs which shed a lot of light on what is currently going on and some of them are even worth reading. I would like to answer allegations about what I did while the protest was going on: I was suicide ganking and enjoying my eve as best I could, all the while wearing my monocle. Why you may ask? Simple-I posted what I thought and the real CSM (not alts) have impressed me with their efforts to mitigate this complete disaster and I think they have the bases covered. Besides CCP and CSM hate me anyway-so why not troll them and try to have a good time? THIS is what I did to entertain myself while Rome burned.
