Big problem is that everyone in the game gets down to specifics, trying to be a developer and proposing solutions when all that was necessary was stating the problem. You generally get more backing when you simply state what the problem is than when you try and forward some solution that only a handful will agree with. It's okay to have an opinion but the farther you get into specific outliers, the less likely the community will support your claims and ideas.
A lot of CPM candidates are going to fail this way and have already begun to. Considering the plethora of players recently expressing their interest in it, I have yet to find one that I would vote for.

Considering the plethora of players recently expressing their interest in it, I have yet to find one that I would vote for. The elections are going to be a joke, turning into a popularity contest to see who can farm more likes. Honestly, I'd rather CCP picks the CPM again. At least that way, we might not get so many "advocates" and more "average players". I already tied myself to the flogging pole before posting this btw. Whips are located to your left. Feel free to beat me for my opinion everyone. It's a sound opinion actually and also something I thought of as well. This election is going to turn into a popularity contest. Think if General John, Cat Merc, DUST Fiend, and Pyrex were running....
Concerning Pyrex, he has a pretty stark view of the CPM. Just as well he habitually manipulates emotional responses in place of valid or compelling arguments, which is a shame considering how successful he is at it. However, that's something that won't fly with CCP and they'd be quick to dismiss any of his arguments due to hyperbole and general lack of professional behavior. That's something that a lot of the early candidates lack though.
