The CPM could have stopped a lot of this rage/speculation if they had just been told about the SISI items. I don't expect to see these itmes in there current form but they should have informed the CPM instead of dropping this for the community to run with. The bonuses and other things listed on the test server incite rage on the forums, cause premature nerf/buff threads and in my personal view is a slap in the face to the CPM. I am not saying that every decision should be okay-ed by the CPM but a lot of angry typing could have been avoided by simply informing the CPM that the different bonuses would be on SISI and giving them a list of what was going to be on the test server. I am not asking for more transparency or anything like that but a one day warning would have been nice and stopped alot of these threads. I do hope that CCP learns from this and at least involves the CPM a little bit before this type of thing happens again. We can't build trust between players and developers if the player representatives are not involve and informed.

We can't build trust between players and developers if the player representatives are not involve and informed. To be honest even if the cpm was made aware early about it, it would not have changed the rage. Ragers are going to rage.
I agree that it would have not made much difference but it is the principle of it. The CPM is of the players and for the players and it seems, at times, that CCP doesn't care. My point was that by giving just a little notice that the CPM could prepare themselves and help calm the players, a little. I don't think that they should have any input on what was listed on the test server because much of it is just place holder and the like but I do think that giving the CPM some notice would help instill trust and confidence in the CPM but the way it comes off is that they are ill informed and moot, we want out players to feel empowered by the CPM and by blind siding them with the test server drop it kind of makes them look like they don't know what is going on.

Us trying to calm you guys down is more of an extra service the CPM at times feels obligated because we do have insider knowledge of how the developers work and trying to give those humans a break from all the ire.
I am glad you can say it better than I can. Sometimes I am too long winded.
