I have no arguments. And I do care about balance which factors heavily into any response I give.
Since I'm not supposed to talk about the balance of items (even free event BPO items) I'm not sure what else to say.
My stance is and has always been there should be no BPO above STD level and I still believe that.
I also believe all STD items should be available on the market in BPO form.
^Both of these are in part because of that whole balance thing.
Yeah, I guess I just want salter soup.
I do have one other element to highlight from your post
Quote:just sit back and let CCP
If you think that the CPM is in any way ever in a position to "let" or "not let" CCP do anything you have fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the CPM. We have exactly zero executive power of any kind, we respond to questions when asked and we provide CCP with (primarily community) feedback and ideas, then they - the Developers - make choices about what is or is not done within the game. The CPM is an advisory body, not legislative or executive.
CPM mail me your feedback and remember to have fun!

If this is who are are as a CPM, resign, and do something better with your life.
Yep, because there is no argument to be made.
Only the obvious, accurate, and key statement that balance matters.
If you don't believe balance in a game is relevant then you have no real place in a balance discussion, which is any discussion that contains items are aspects which are not 100% cosmetic.
A prime example of important balance considerations are EoM rewards, fittings resources, and BPOs.
I'd be a very poor player rep if endorsed FotM, disregarded balance, or otherwise had no care for the longevity of the game.
The CPM is and has always been an advisory group, this has been stated from the outset if "cannot command the Devs and force them to do my bidding" is how you define "powerless" then sure every person who interacts with any corporation in whatever sector of business throughout the world is "powerless" and I'm no unique and special snowflake in that regard 
As for "indifferent" if you define "spending my minimal free time outside of Uni et al doing unpaid volunteer work on behalf of the community" then yeah, that fits too.
I make a point of being diplomatic, I believe in being constructive, and I try to consider all feedback that's intent and structure is to improve the survival and enjoy-ability of the game in the long term. As such I've looked for that in this thread, and I must admit I'm having trouble figuring out how this thread acts to support those goals. Are you able to detail the specifics of how the OP accomplishes any of those goals? And if not what the specific details of the goals of the OP actually are.
