A bunch of multi-millionaire and billionaire players who farm noobs... yet they talk about the same crap of helping the playerbase...

Funny, how many of you trained new players? How many of you didn't stomp them in a match with millions of ISK?



STFU to any/all CPMs. You're all the same... looking for more power in your elite percentage of players until the game all out expires.

Congratulations, you now understand how American politics works.

Someone poor obviously wouldn't know much about PC now would he?

Hey now! I am an American and I RESENT.... oh wait, what you said is 100% accurate and factual... carry on...

Bernie Sanders!!!!!

Lol

Cross Atu has put in at least a thousand times more effort into making this game better than you ever have.

I can't speak for the other CPM, but he is definitely not a billionaire protostomping corp lead that you have stereotyped just because one or two other CPM members might not have the same level of dedication in the past.

Not everyone deserves a spot, but at least do some research before you assume everyone is only doing it for their own personal gain.

This is an alt, junior...

Unlike all the other elite players. I speak objectively, honestly, and without bias.

I didn't mean you.. I meant for people I vote for..if they are poor they obviously don't PC or suck at it, in turn they would ruin it for the rest..that is my opinion on the "poor"

Which, by the way, I've got two or three guys who volunteer for the PSD (check my signature) that have agreed to help new players as the express purpose of their volunteering, so if you'd like some help or know a player that would be in need of training, let me know and I'll send them an e-mail so we can get on that.

EDIT: Alternatively, you can hit them up in-game yourself. Their names are 'Squagga' and 'Knight GuardFury' (sp?)

Most of these guys dedicated more time talking about how to improve the game than you have played it.

As much as some of us like to shitpost, we wouldn't be here if we didn't care for the game at all.

Does it matter?
You act like if CPM has anything to do with Dust.

CPM is just a whisper in Rats head. Whisper so quiet, you can barely hear it.

Some of their bios are **** though.

A lot of them are just "I listen to feedback, bla bla, community, bla, bla". You're running for CPM, of course you'll be listening to feedback, it doesn't need to be stated.

A good few actually have descriptions of what they hope to achieve though.

Yes, I am running for the CPM.
Yes, I do have 175+ million ISK.
No, I don't train new players.

Now that I've confirmed your speculation, allow me to explain from my side of things.

I'm not going to pretend that I train new players or that I would, in any capacity, be the right person to do that. There are other CPM candidates (Kevall Longstride, notably) that are better suited for that job. So I'm not going to BS you, If your objective is a better NPE than I'm likely not the candidate you want to vote for because I am, admittedly, the last person who should ever be training a new player.

My goals, however, are to empower the community with better tools to do just that. My platform is to work tirelessly (of which I already am as I'm in contact with a number of developers and volunteers even without being on the CPM) to provide the Dust 514 community what they need to make the third party apps that help players, old and new, and to provide them ways to make a much larger impact as a whole on the community through their own means.

I'll give you a really good example of something I want to accomplish:

Everyone knows about Protofits. We all love protofits. One thing that is particularly painful, however, is having to manually adjust each and every little skill in order to have the fitting tool reflect your character. My goal is to streamline that, and provide players access to their own API key with which all they need to do is login, copy/paste that key -ONCE- to their login, and their skills be adjusted and updated in real time with protofits.

Or, even better, if you could use that same API Key and then show me what your capable of fitting and I could make a fit that would allow you to help the team in FW or PC, and then explain to you why that fitting would work with -YOUR SKILLS-. Or even tell you what you need to skill into to make it better.

Want another example? How about a mobile app that gives you a notification on your phone whenever your corp's district has been attacked? Or you being able to look at that same mobile app while on your lunch break at work and finding that you just got enough Passive SP to unlock that really cool thing you always wanted?

EDIT: Another thing I've wanted to do is to formalize something like Eve Online's ISD team, which, by the way, has a team of volunteers (STAR) dedicated -EXPRESSLY- to helping new players.

That's my goal and it's something I've been after for well over two years now.

So no, I am -NOT- the candidate you want if your only concern is a candidate that will train new players and.... I dunno, arbitrarily be broke. But I am the candidate you want if you want the tools and support you'd need in order to make that training more efficient.

Nothing this guy said makes me want to vote for him.. WTF

He just reasserted everything the original poster said. Really glad he did post though, now I know who will not get a vote. PC is not even close to being the major item of discussion on here and wanting to "help" (AKA tell others what to do) with fits is a control freaks dream not a needed feature. Honestly though I have seen nothing but terrible FOTM stomping from his whole corp so I kind of expect stuff like this.

I'm also a CPM candidate.

I have 230 million ISK, compared to the other candidates and most veteran players, I'm "poor". Do i train new players? No, wanna know why? Because I tried to but they all went inactive, so I gave up on it.

I don't protostomp, even though I have 98% of all my skills to level 5 I absolutely hate getting my a** handed to me by true protostompers, because I hate it being done to me, I refuse to do it myself. The only time I will ever go proto in a pub is if I'm fighting against well known mercenaries that have proto themselves and will give me a good fight. 98% of the time I run my APEX suit.

Do I honestly expect to get anyone to vote for me? No I dont, I'm not part of the Dust 514 inner circle like 99.99% of the CPM candidates are, i just put my name in there because it's quite high of a chance that dust won't be on console in the near future.

But more to the point, all the CPM do is listen to the community and tell CCP what is being said and they do the same for us, the CPM aren't in any power to make changes happen, they are merely a bridge of communication between CCP and the playerbase. But yes those who don't do PC don't have much of a shot since CPM primarily focus on PC since that in itself is the end game of dust and without it we would only have maybe 1-2300 players on at most instead of the 5000 we have monthly.

The CPM is not for random people nobody has ever heard of trying to make his own views reality nor is it veteran players or "rich" mercenaries bending dust to their will.

Thanks for letting us know you are THE worst candidate in any election process ever! Please crawl away...

One of the cpm candidates is smart as hell, but is myopic inthat his opinion (which while USUALLY is right) can NEVER be wrong.

Not to toot my own horn or anything...

But although I am running, I have gone from 450 million ISK to 90 million ISK over the last 2 years, much of which I've donated to people in squad finder.

I also have used squad finder to teach plenty of blues what fittings are, and other ins and outs of the trade which CCP does a poor job of explaining.

Finally, I never protostomp pubs. I don't find that fun, and I feel it's bad for the game. I only pull proto out in a pub if I see a stomp squad on the enemy team.

But hey, you don't have to take my word on all that.

Just wanted to get that out there.

So, none of the CPMs have anything to address about the number one cause the game failed?
They claimed to have tried to train players, but blah, blah, blah excuses...

Some of the best players in the game, came from trainers. Trainers who's lifetime stats and wallets took a serious hit. Darken-Sol, Grand Master Kubo, 8213, and Tasche helped so many players it can't be counted. But they get laughed at because of their 2.0 KDRs and lousy w/l records...


The number one demographic a CPM should be communicating with are new players. But instead they just run in their death squads and smirk... CPM is a useless position, and it has been proven with the last 2 classes. We can all talk for hours how to improve things, balance things...

What did IWS do for vehicles? Nothing that was asked for.
What did Spero do for CPM? Made personal billions

What did Darth ever do? Farm noobs for a weekend to have a weapon carry his name.
What would Aeon do? Be the next Kane Spero.
Nobody would vote or give time of day to Zaria, until she became a CEO of a major corp..
Zatara and Judge? Looooong gone.

So, the best candidate for CPM is Whomever exploited the game the best up until this point, and wants to continue it for personal gain. Nobody loves this sh!t game, they like the easy-mode (big fish in small pond) and the social interaction. The battlefield element of this game is pure sh!t, and no CPM can ever change that and they know it.


Save the bullsh!t for someone who doesn't know any better.
