Losing everything when you die was enough to separate Dust from the rest, but this SP system along with it promotes nothing but grinding. Especially the way it is stacked now while getting no good rewards for unlocking most pre-reqs. Who the hell wants to grind to unlock the ability to unlock the ability to unlock the stuff you want, while getting stomped on by proto vets? Most FPS players don't got time for that, all they want to do is point and shoot.

There are lots of other games on the market where you can "point and shoot".

And yeah, the guy certainly didnt do his research, the AUR items being more powerful than ISK items is bullshit.

The author raises some good points about the framerate, unfinished market system (badly needed) and incomplete selection of dropsuits and vehicles. I also think that we do need some more battle options and not just variations of the same ones we have but a real ability to go ambush a squad or team out on a world somewhere while they are trying to do some PVE or in a PC battle against one of our allies. I want to play in the sandbox, not the line-em-up and knock-em-down trench warfare style of battle that this game currently employs.

Agreed! I came to Dust from BF3 during the beta because I was bored of the same old thing. The initial promise that the game offered was what kept me interested, the promise of something different and more enjoyable than the Battlefields and CoDs. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy playing Dust. I just wish CCP could have delivered on more of its initial promises. We have no sandbox in reality, the interaction with Eve is minimal at present and the market, skills and suit/vehicle options are incomplete. Please CCP for the love of sweet baby Jesus add some more game modes and maps! Doing skirmish over and over on the same maps starts to grate on you after this long! And I mean new game modes not just a different version of an existing mode, pearing skirmish down to one objective and calling it something else does not mean it is a new game mode.
