You have to understand what your reading first before it becomes meaningful.

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.

Who says we want them to have an influence?

Who says we want incompetent players who bring no level of professionalism or wisdom to the "position" to have any more influence than any other random? CPM1 was voted in off of what, no more than 200 people casting their 7 votes? What a joke.

I didn't vote because I don't want CPM to have a say. I'd rather CCP sink their own ship than let some randoms help them along their way.

We know Youtube played a major role - second place got voted in by what, less then 80 votes? While Judge get well over 200, 300?

Dust is a Free To Play game, lots of people, if not millions, made accounts before June of last year, just in that time frame you have a considerable legit voter count. Now, how many stayed? How many watch youtube?

Judge isn't well known on the forums as others, where did he get such an avalanche lead? Obvious source, youtube. The other candidates relied on there influence around here, and they didn't get no 200+ votes, not even 100.

And how were the 7 picks each even calculated as per voter? Where is the real math, rather then number release from CCP?

they released all the data with the elections, there was a paste bin link with every step of the election process inside the data somewhere on the forums

Then that 90% has no right to complain.
