No, 90% of the players couldn't be bothered to take the 5 minutes it takes to log in, click 1-7 names, and hit submit

*sniff* You think I'm a random?

If there were no CPM, you wouldn't even have a voice anyways. They would do whatever they want, and you would have to live with it.

Haha just giving you a hard time buddy, just don't get too salty or you'll shrivel up into a mummy like a lot of the guys here. You're a cool guy, I wouldn't want the bitterness to get the best of you.

Ehh Destiny is cool, I'm getting a PS4 for it, but I can't say it'll replace Dust for me. Totally different experience. You'll have to link up with me sometime when it comes out, I don't think I've ever seen out outside of your dropship

Shame it isn't cross play with 4 and 3, a lot of my Dust friends don't have PS4 and I really want to play Destiny with them. :'(

Then why are you here?

All this hate seems to be directed at the CPM, but it really seems that you are mad at CCP. Why the deflection onto the CPM?

You know that CCP won't hire anyone professional to help out. Hell, they don't even have a TEST SERVER.

If you really think that the CPM are a waste, don't whine to them about it. Whine to CCP.

Send some mail. Do something. Don't just come to the forums, whine and complain and think that you are accomplishing something.

I'm sorry, I legitimately thought you were trying to be productive.

I'll remember to discard that thought in the future.

Ghost, no offense, I'm sure you call yourself a 'vet', but compared to my time here you're still green behind the ears. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Want an example?

Last years septemember/august tournament. In game tournament footage shows AE's Arirana using Melee glitch to one shot several players instantly nearby each other.

Me, and maybe around 20 others, literally 20+ others, all send the link of the video plus our eye witness reports of seeing it done in competitive matches throughout PC against this particular player.

What did talking to the 'big boys' do? Not a damn thing, we proved cheating occurred in tournament, nothing happened. Wasn't even fixed or promised to be fixed.

So what did we do? I went to GD and made a big ******* deal about it. A day later, we get several responses from CCP explaining the situation and why it happens and what they believe the time frame will be to resolve it.

Did CPM accomplish this for us? No, I did, by bitching in GD and getting everyone involved. CPM is useless.

But then there lies the problem when it comes to losing faith in the system. If sufficient people don't believe in the voting system, then the voting system slowly begins to break down. To put it into a better analogy, think of matchmaking in a first-person shooter like Dust. Even if Dust were to somehow have a proper matchmaking, there is not enough players playing the game to allow Scotty to keep the matches balanced so you start getting crappy matches. More players start to leave as a result, the matches become even more unbalanced as more players leave and not enough remaining players to go around to keep the matches balanced. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Honestly, the CPM1 might not have as much influence with the game as Eve Online's CSM does (the CSM actually has stakeholder power in Eve's development like the Board of Directors), but give it enough time to mature and it will succeed. It will just take years to improve.
