Sad that only 2 cpm members are active, well only 1 has validity (IWS is lame in most regards).

So a threat from nova basically is what has to happen for ccp to listen?

Lol ccp is a joke. Look what we have gotten since Jan. OMG nothing.

Since most of you probably don't read the council chambers, here's a courtesy head's up with the current state of things.

Now, Nova, I have much respect for you, Iron Wolf and Cazaderon (simply because you are the most active at least on the forums). But I'd like to point one thing out: that's right, ccp is lacking communication, but our cpm is lacking activity too. If it wasn't for some of you at the CPM, people wouldn't even know it actually exist. You all at the cpm started the right way: I remember when there was some poll on the forums and some surveys. But what now?



2-3 months ago we had a survey promoted by cpm. And that was great.
Now, there was many questions there, and I'm pretty sure it helped out you and ccp to better understand player base's feelings. But now, how could you or ccp know if a weapon, for example, is OP? Why isn't there any voting system anymore?

To answer your question about balance :

At every possible turn, we tell CCP to talk to the community, not just us. We have made it a point internally to not allow ourselves to be used as a balancing tool whenever possible, because there is a much more obvious merit in getting feedback from dozens of people who are usually more knowledgable than we about a given topic.

Surveys are tricky to do, because it's really hard to gauge the feedback or provide adequate options in the first place, except for the most cut and dry of issues.

We'd love to get a lot more "Public feedback Gathering" posts out there, but in all honesty, we need to get more stuff from CCP and permission to actually share that stuff in order to make that a reality with any real merit. Other than that, all we can really do is take someone else's thread and say "CCP. make sure you read this thread extra close, because it makes X point."

What is CPM?

shameless bump.

Unfortunately, I fear that the ship has sailed for most of the veteran players already. Almost every competitive clan is already making plans for which games they will be playing next. Everyone is so burnt out by the state that this game has been in since release (3 months now) and the apparent apathy CCP has towards its player base that they really could care less anymore. If CCP had started this two months ago they might have saved a lot of their player base. Expect to see a massive drop right after the tournament ends. Many of us had great hope for this game and were willing to give CCP months and months to come around but they have not. We got half-hearted promises of more communication and involvement but then just got the trolling 'community team' and lip service. I know many people who have posted some very great ideas of how to make this game more entertaining and add depth within the limitations that we currently had but the posts void of any type of involvement from CCP.

I would like to say thank you to Fox and Wolf for being two of the more communicative devs out there and it is much appreciated. Unfortunately, any changes now will be too little and too late. CCP has already lost the faith and trust of a lot of its players.
