Good question but I doubt there is a good way to do that short of “players scarcity” to take the topic of a recent thread.  
Good luck getting anything done that the players think is good for the game. I think that CCP is like this

I did a talk at a fanfest a few years back called Longevity. Pretty much covers my thoughts on the subject.

Hi, @Fatt_Albert

Toxic trolls,  
Scammers and  
A-holes are causing EVE to die.  
I’m a fraid it’s terminal.

R.i.P

Good news is, there are other and better MMOs out there, the ones who don’t take your time and your wallet for granted.

Absolutely incorrect and totally backwards. We need bad guys, villains, and you cant be some low skills chump (90% of players) to provide the content that great games need. Carebears are CANCER and have killed every single game that they are allowed to influence decisions. CCP is to blame in the end because they seem to think that listening to the majority is all it takes to make a great game. Only the best can play the role of the bad-guy and unfortunately, CCP has done the major damage of eliminating the competition to the current power structure mostly while being mislead by nullblock players who are smarter than they are and influence game mechanics in only their favor… What do you think this is? AOL Chat Utopia? Get a clue and know when you are part of the problem.  
Creation of completion and neutrality should be the role of CCP and they are anything BUT.

> Can we get enough players on the same page to demand this and will CCP listen. So far it seems that they want to listen to only what they want to hear.

TBH running a game as a business often requires doing things in a way different than players would choose to do them. And equally TBH, 99 out of 100 “player ideas and demands” are… less than useful. Since the days when everyone could log in anonymously and shout whatever they wanted whenever they wanted (anonymously, for the most part), game devs and the **vocal** playerbase have developed a somewhat adversarial relationship.

EVE players have shifted CCP policy a couple times by essentially “going on strike” and exiting the game. But it’s much harder to shift CCP towards _creating_ a new system or mechanic than it is to get them to retract one. Some people hoped (and still hope) the CSM would be a vehicle for this, but it hasn’t really turned out that way.

Best you can do, if you see an idea you like, talk it up. Post it on Reddit. Post it on social media. Go to Fanfest and sit at a table with some folks and discuss it. Eventually, the idea may trickle through a few heads and reach a CCP dev, who’ll mangle it a bit and then think it was his own idea to begin with.

I believe that’s somewhat of the process that ended up creating Corporate Projects, for instance. So it’s not completely hopeless, just slow and prone to significant distortion along the way.

Convincing people that they’re the ones that thought up your idea is the secret, innit? Figure out how to do that consistently and you can twist this game any way you like.

The CSM is pretty impotent. It’s more of a beauty pageant than anything else.  
They come in this forum once a year to kiss butt for votes and then they’re gone for another year until next election.

Is the game really dying or is it a meme?  
I mean, there are thousands of players online and CCP seems to be a big company. How many games do they have? There is also Vanguard that I see on the launcher although I don’t know the details about it.

EVE is dying an honorable death.  
EVE tried the consoles and got burned, because the console environment is ultra toxic.  
We got planet bombardment for a time, got excited, then it was gone…  
luckily for us the two stayed separated otherwise Eve could have died for real…  
X Sony america and all those bubble bubble bursters are the worst.  
I feel EVE needs more skills, but also a story mode, something like Massive effect…  
An Eve spin off, without planet bombardment interaction… but something everybody can enjoy  
for free as an Alpha, and then Omega gets all kinds of missions Alpha dont get…

Others don’t get this honor, and their deaths are absolutely dreadful.  
More accounts restrictions, more GPU restrictions, Ray tracing… DLSS…  
Games like movies, 99% FPS… It’s a miracle Eve has not wasted everything with a 1st  
person shooter… and gamers are tired… young guys probably wants more direct competition  
and Eve can not provide all of that excitement… multiple factors, one answer is too simple,  
perception changes with age, environment change, and when greedy publishers  
decides to push the suicide button…
