This is for CCP's own benefit. EVE is nice, and it allowed the DUST 514 project to start up, but CCP is in over their head.

CCP can't keep up with today's demands and stay competitive with other titles. DUST is a cool game, but it will never be right, or in proper working order. By the time the mechanics of the game will be fixed, the content of the title will have been long since eclipsed.

CCP, you are burning the candle from both ends and there is no sign that you can ever catch up to the competition. Its not your fault, as your resources are limited and you are attempting to stretch them as far as you are capable, all the while still learning as you go.

I have no doubt that DUST has generated you revenue, maybe even profit has been seen, or will be seen in the near future. However, the way I see it, you are trying to shovel out a hole, but twice the dirt keeps falling back in with every shovel full.

I would love to see DUST 514 in working order and have the depth that has been promoted, but with new consoles on the way, newer and better engines being built, the CCP DUST 514 Project will never chase down the deficit there competition has started them in. The gaming market is very hard to compete into, and attempting to build a AAA Title from scratch may have not been a good idea.

So, I ask you to just scrap DUST 514. Your playerbase will move on, as most of them have been doing anyway, and will do so more when the next Battlefield, Call of Duty, and Destiny titles become available. This is not to say that you should never attempt this type of project ever again, but perhaps more emphasis on "learning the ropes" should be releasing content into a public audience.
