Choose Your Fighter wrote:To create a role within a community like this, that has influence over the flow and evolution of the game is stupid and just show's a lack of regard for the player base. CCP tells you they do this because they care, but in actual fact, they do this so they dont have to pay someone to do it.
The bottom line is, they should be a part of the community, interacting with all aspects of the world they have created, not just posting generic comments to 1 post out of 100.
The fact that 2 CPM's are members of the same corp speaks leaps and bounds. The role should be filled by an impartial body,
Get rid of DEV's and CPM tags on the forums and instead, everyone becomes an equal. If CCP dosnt know the desires of their playerbase, and have to elect meaningless roles to do their work for them their game will fail.
In other words you don't have even the slightest idea of how important an institution like the CPM is. The CSM, EVE's euquivalent to the CPM, has very impressively proven how important it is to have these people. Without them EVE probably would have died years ago. Not just that the CPM is a completely voluntatary position, it's also worth mentioning that CCP has never changed the game in favor of certain people or corporations.
So it doesn't even matter that two CPM are in the same corporation. In addition to that CCP isn't necessarily doing what the CPM/ CSM wants them to do. Their relationship is mostly just about giving feedback. In either direction. It just has to be said that the CPM and the CSM as it's equivalent are not just absolutely unique in the gaming industry, they are also the best that can happen to a gaming community. Especially because they aren't involved in the develpoing process of the game as employees. They aren't influenced in any way and can bring up the community's concerns and point of views in a completely proper way.
My advice: Take a look deeper into CSM's history in EVE and you will find out that we all have to be glad that the community can interact with the devolpers directly than instead just having to talk to invisible Devs and GMs on the forums.
Final words: It's due to the CPM and their voluntary work during their free time that recent changes have happened in DUST 514 and I really appreciate the passion they invest for all of us as a community. Keep up good work! |

And whats to stop someone from switch corps into one that another CPM is in, after they are elected?
Doesn't matter. Choices were made by CCP. All of you: Deal with it. They have never and will never favor certain people or groups of people. Fact. If you have doubts about their choice - wait until the next elections and it is all at your hands to make your voice heard by voting. As easy as that.
CSM has worked very well so far and CPM will most definitely do so too. For all those people who come from other games or have just heard just a few rumours about what exactly the CPM/ CSM is, my advice: CSM Whitepaper
Knowledge first, complaining does come afterwards. From my four years of playing EVE I can tell you: There is no need for being sceptical. |
