Depends on your view of yourself once you become a CPM. The whole idea of needing a dropship pilot or tank pilot is very silly because there is so much that the CPM doesn't really touch on. Sure in our idle time we help out with the Thread Hunting on possibly missed ideas or concerns (which is why I am beginning to hate bad posters because they're really hurting the game the most as they drown out the real stuff CCP or CPM is after.) and also being well versed in an aspect helps out with certain aspects of feedback but rarely does that expertise needs tapping on less so than the experience and familiarity of the people and the potential responses to changes.

For example one minor small but awesome feature of the 1.2 I have highlighted as probably the best new feature being added in 1.2 has nothing to do with anyone being experts in anything. Yet being players in the game has made all the CPM know how important that feature is.

I mean I would love to update you guys more often but I am restricted to what is or has not been said yet by developers most of the time. All I can do is point out broken and obvious stuff that somehow managed to scrape through the developer's own reading of the forums and they don't miss much which says quite a bit considering how often I trawl through the forums.

It's good to hear that the DEVs are not missing much on the forums it just doesn't seem like that when some thread get a DEV response and others threads don't or that a DEVs posts in a thread and doesn't follow up. Anyway to improve this kind of communication from DEVs to the community? I know that the community has to adjust too, but I see the current 'negativty' on the forums more like a warning-sign. I hope I'm not confusing you I'm just rambling atm.

Maybe a rating system for threads is a good idea so you guys can filter out the good stuff more easily?

Well the Developers are people as well, there are a few devs not well versed in forum posting similar to how there are a few members not good at it either. It's not a nice place most of the time and there are a few scared of you guys because of the hostilities being passed around, which is the ultimate reason why super negative posts are bad they chase developers away from responding in the first place. I am not saying you are not allowed to criticize the game but the more you guys sharpen the complaints like a spear tip the less the devs want to poke that.

There are some developers who are better versed in talking with the community such as CCP Logic Loop would be the most recent example he went into the nitty gritty of why the things they are on the maps and why certain things cannot work yet and what is being worked on.

There are a few that are genuinely busy and would love to post on the forums but things are more pressing than reading forums.

While the CPM is trying to encourage the devs to open up more, I really need you guys to not slam the door on their faces if/when they do.

While the CPM is trying to encourage the devs to open up more, I really need you guys to not slam the door on their faces if/when they do. Granted, I would've agreed with you on this until about 2 weeks ago....Constant server crashes, over the past two weeks, serous lag presence when trying to play as simple pub match....horrendous hit detection issues over the past week. One person explain why some things don't work isn't enough to put me back in the positive about this game....Some people are even still waiting on their respecs (not me ) which CCP said would be done by the 31st The announcements forum is usually the only place I check just to see what kind of things are going on during downtime and to see why servers are down....Not that many new announcements lately. NO extended downtime lately to fix lag or server issues since the 12th, and the servers continue to go down, yesterday for example. Servers went down for a few hours I assume, and came back up right before our PC match, which was lost because no one was online because of the server issue that had no announcement as to why it was down or when it was coming back up. Sorry IWS, I had the same faith in CCP as you do a month ago, right now, the more you defend them, which I know your supposed to do, loses your credablitiy with me. Granted im sure it means jack crap to you im just sayin...something needs to be done, hell, at least they could announce what the issues are when they happen.
