Crowdsourcing Low-Sec Solutions

Do you want to make low-sec matter? Fed up with your idea dropping off the front page of the Features and Ideas Forum like shit off a shovel? Maybe you should take a look at this.

Mynxee has set up a crowdsourcing project using the IdeaScale platform. For those of you not familiar with the concept, wikipedia defines crowdsourcing as:

“…the act of outsourcing tasks, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to a large group of people or community (a crowd), through an open call.”

As a tool for brainstorming its pretty good. It allows a whole range of ideas to be collected from a large number of people and then refined, normally the same group that orignates the ideas, into something useful.

The goal with ‘Making Low Sec Matter’ is to get a wide range of input from as many players as possible as to ideas for various facets of EVE’s low security space and refine them into a proposal that CCP can actually use (as opposed to incoherent “FIX TEH LAAAAG!” ranting) when they get around to looking at low-sec.

We all know that low-sec needs some love, lets see what we can come up with.
