+1 for the info Jenza. I really want to know why the current CPM thinks the next one will have it worse - i know, i know, NDA.

Is there anything NDA-safe you can tell us about that? Worse in what sense?

Honestly i shouldnt even be saying its going to be worse but i cant help but say it to keep my conscience clear and make sure that they had some kind of warning. I really can't say why but I can say with near certainty its going to be harder and worse than the time we had.

The other thing people need to know is that it super hard to actually talk to players about things because of NDA. I could have a 5 minute conversation with kain or hans and hear "I can't say beers" 10 times. So end up just leaving them what i think on skype, which again they cant really give me a response too.

The most I ever get from the cpm is to make a thread to get responses so they can point it out to ccp. A lot of what the cpm does has nothing to do with working with players to solve issues. Thats why its super important not to elect a bunch of fking morons which is likely to happen.
