It just needs one or two people on the current CSM when the time is right.
I disagree.
While connected, the two games are not the same. The CSM summits are already packed trying to condense tons of subjects into just a couple days for Eve.
Neither game would get sufficient attention or time if they had to accomodate both in the same summit. Both games have things that need to be discussed with CCP and given proper attention. A joint council cannot do that.
Dust CSM dudes could maybe pop in via Lync if the Eve CSM folks are discussing the link, and the opposite is true for Eve CSM if they are talking about stuff that affects Eve.
I personally feel that Dust should have it's own representative body that reports to CCP Shanghai. And while I feel this is absolutely necessary, I want to make it clear that I have no intention on running for such a body. (Unless I feel the people running would do more harm than good, but with the people we have in this community I highly doubt I would need to do this, and would not want to.)

Sure, SoTa. We might not need a full blown 12 player council yet.
But Dust is always going to have a minority seat on any Eve council. Anyone expecting otherwise has unreasonable expectations.
The point of the CSM is to bring player issues directly to CCP and have a few players get a bit more involved in the whole design decision making process. The Eve CSM will rightfully always be more inclined to dedicate their time and resources to issues in Eve.
The same should be true with Dust.
As far as the election process goes.. I'm not entirely convinced that 'popular vote' would be the best way to go as far as who is an eligible candidate, considering the amount of 'zerg clans' we have it'd be too easy to get someone who wouldn't be constructive on the ballot.
I wouldn't mind players voting for people they think is best... But it might not be a bad idea if CCP chose the people they'd like to work with as far as who gets on the ballot in the first place.
This would allow the people who've stepped up in the community to make it better and posted good stuff for a long time. People who've been posting reasonable feedback and had logical discussions, willing to admit if/when they are wrong and not afraid to suggest nerfs to their favorite toy. (People like Skytt, Mobius Wyvern, Deadpool, and SoTa PoP just to name a few in what is a pretty decent list of names) |

The biggest problem with what you're suggesting Finn, is who decides who would sit on this player run/operated board?
How would it be policed/regulated?
Who decides what the group talks about, and what is sent off to CCP?
I don't think an arbitrary gathering of players would work, no matter how well intentioned. Like someone said above : Popular Vote among the uninformed can sink the ship. Anything that is run/operated by players is subject to the personal feelings of those players. Why listen to people they don't like? Why allow people they have grudges with to have a say to CCP?
You might not think people are that petty.... But a lot of them are. CCP should not and cannot have a vested interest whatever a group of players like this say unless they are sure that whoever's running it is giving everyone a fair shake. |
