First let me say I'm happy to see CCP taking the role of the CPM seriously.
I've not been happy with many of the CPM's lack of visibility in communicating with the community. When people make podcasts to have discussions with the CPM and only a few bother to show up, or don't try to schedule another one at a time they can participate, that is frustrating. Some CPM have been vocal on the forums, and have done a good job interacting the community.
I had the pleasure of having Nova Knife randomly join a public squad I was in, and played a couple of hours with him. He was asking about our feedback and things we want to see change. It was a lot of fun. I think more CPM members should make an effort to follow Nova Knife's example and use the squad finder to squad up with random players in public squads to hear what people have to say that may not be active on the forums. Squad finder is a powerful tool for this kind of thing.

I really enjoy your Kicking Dust videos, and appreciate the hard work, time and effort you put into making them. DUST is a better community because they exist. Having said that, I think you're completely wrong on this particular topic. Despite my frustrations with some of the CPM, and the way CCP makes it difficult for them to communicate in the ways they should, I think DUST is probably much better off with them there than without them. My frustration with the CPM doesn't mean I want to see it go away, I want to see it continue to get better. You certainly don't speak for me in this regard. I have no personal agenda besides seeing DUST get better where all suits/roles/vehicles/weapons are fun to use, balanced, able to be countered, etc. I want to see a uhuge variety of suit/vehicle fits and weapons in every fight, that will be my barometer for DUST's progress. I'm not white-knighting either; I have no intention of ever running for CPM or trying to get a job at CCP. I just want to see DUST live up to its potential. Having a solid CPM in place is an important component in this.
I also think you're mischaracterizing the CSM. There are many on there (like Trebor) who work their asses off, and EVE is a much better game for their efforts.
