BAMM HAVOC wrote:Just a quick note CPMs are banned from answering any questions posted in here, it kinda defeats the object of gathering questions from the community. Can't we just post questions on the official forums or to their social media accounts? Most of them seem to have Skype too. Kevall is active on twitter @DennieFleetfoot and I know he would answer most questions posed to him if they weren't stealth rants or trolling.
This is kind of a silly exercise BAMM. Anything really juicy would be covered by the NDA so they can't tell us anyway.
My question for CPM1: In your best proto fittings, would you fight 100 duck sized horses or 1 horse sized duck?

Anyone reading this thread: look at this thread in the Council's Chamber. Bone Doc asks a question and gets a reply in less than 20 minutes.
Here is the Council's Chamber. If you aren't ranting or wearing a tinfoil hat then I'm sure they would be happy to talk to you. Hell, Soraya will probably still talk to you if you are ranting or wearing a tinfoil hat; trolling is his favorite pastime.

Less than 1% of the active playerbase voted for the CPM (according to CCPs active playerbase figures) so the other 99% believe that there is no one to bother voting for/no need for a CPM or simply just dont care so would you back an option on the ballot to have 'I dont want a CPM' option?
2. If a CPM member is not doing as they were elected ie judge going awol and playing destiny - Do you agree that we the playerbase should have the ability to get rid and get someone who may actually do something instead of waiting for a trip to china?
3. After the rouge wedding and CPM0 terrible terrible terrible reign in which all confidence was lost for the next decade and in future CPMs since they stuck around for a free trip to fanfest when they knew the game was effectively being cancelled (not including based french caz who resigned), why should CCP even think of sending CPM1 (who havnt really improved on anything) to china let alone to the end of the road of where they live? What can they do in china that they can do on skype and other communications apart from eat a dog and waste CCP time and money which is earned from the players I feel the need to point out that, unless they did it very quietly, CPM1 hasn't been offered a trip to Shanghai for a summit. Did CPM0 get to go?

As far as I can tell, BAMM pops into Dust's life to do things like scrutinize why we are getting updates and explain why CPM1 is literally ******.
You say "passion for this game" and I say "youtuber attempting to increase his views/subscriber count through simulated controversy" CEOpyrex does this too, but to a lesser degree it seems.

DUST Fiend wrote:This game is suffocating for user generated content. I'm sorry you dislike this game so much that youd rather stand in opposition against those who would attempt to help fill that void. There is a difference between content that generates interest in a game and what BAMM currently produces. MINA described them as Glenn Beck style rants and that is actually very spot-on. There is a specific kind of veteran that is attracted to that kind of content, and BAMM is catering to them.
New players who want to see what DUST is all about don't give a flying **** at a rolling doughnut about why some updates came out. They want to know what was in those updates. What will be in future updates. Maybe a video about how to run a fitting using X weapon that was balanced last patch.
If BAMM wants to do that kind of content he has my full support. I'll listen and watch his videos, I'll post comments. That's the content that will help act as a kind of advertising for Dust 514. Not this conspiracy theory alarmism.

Lazer Fo Cused wrote:I don't owe you anything, you should be more than happy to answer questions since the playerbase voted you in Interesting point to be brought up here: it is not CPM's responsibility to talk to us.
No really, it isn't. Like, at all.
They should be talking to CCP a lot, but they are just required to listen to the players in game, on the forums, and in other media (the sub-reddit, etc.). Hell, they could rarely talk to us at all and still be doing a good job funneling information about our feelings/thoughts on [insert topic CCP is curious about].
Here is a visual representation of information flow...
Players -> CPM <-> CCP
As opposed to how you seem to think the CPM works...
Players <-> CPM <-> CCP
B-but why does CCP have a CPM?! They could just look at all of this stuff themselves!
Because, dear sweet simpleton, there are a lot of players and a very small dev team in Shanghai. CPM officers act as a kind of quasi-community manager. They gather information and gauge the community's feelings on certain subjects. They differ from a community manager, in that, they are not required to talk to us unless they want to.
CCP is basically getting a free set of CM's out of the deal.
This isn't a question, but I just wanted to say that you look ruggedly handsome today.
Thank you! 
B-but they get a free vacation to Shanghai! CCP should be spending that money on development!
The cost of hiring this many community managers would be thousands and thousands more than flying a handful of people out once or twice a year for a summit in Shanghai. The data gathered by CPM is worth the the cost of summit, and then some. CCP Rattati has already explained that is values CPM's input. What more do you need? That's a CCP employee saying that CPM is worth it.

Will the table map in the war barge ever return ?
Is there any chance there when you select the battle finder you will have an option on what maps you would like to fight on?
Will the deployment screen ever tell you what map you are entering?
This is kind of what I was afraid would happen...
These kind of questions, while all great, are things that CCP would tell the CPM officers under the NDA. They literally can't answer them for us.
The best answer we would get is something like "We had a meeting about that recently" or something equally as vague.
