Back in the old time, we were pumping quarters into arcade games.
I didn't mind back then to spend some (if not all) of my allowance into them for my enjoyment.
In the '80, 10$ was a lot of dough for a child! Still, I had no issues about spending that cash into short and hard video games.
Over time, interest into video games grew tremendously, but the mentality changed; Now, players want to have it all and free.
Up to now, I was reluctant at spending Aurums on expandable items (being a cheapass). But then I looked back at all the money I spent in the games I loved and compared the playtime and level of enjoyment I got from them respectively. I found out that Aurums gives out a better bang for the buck than the quarters system of yore.
Seing things from that perspective made a breach into my thick skull and the idea of using Aurums on expandable stuff made its way throught... |

Are you saying you would pay CCP more if they made an arcade version of Dust? Insert 25-ó and play another round. |

No , he realized he spent more in quarters for short entertainment than by putting a few into this game he can continually pick up.. or something like that I think |

An interesting thought. Although, the arcade machine would have to be hooked to the internet and need headset. Would also be more like $5.00 per match  |

that's kind of how we play eve. we're pirates so it's all about getting a 'free life' (back in the day, for all you young-uns if you did well enough at a game, you got a free play). so if your fit is 20 mil, all you need to do is take 20 mil in loot and you get a free life. |

LOL.. I remember this one awesome looking racing arcade that was set up like a car, driver seat, steering wheel , clutch , brake gas , shifter. was 5 bucks to play it.
I put my 5 in it, chose my car, got on the track .. was reving up the car.. like hell yehhh!! this gonna be fun.
Race starts, I get to my 2nd turn fly off road crash and blow up my car.. insert more money to continue , wut da fuq
I never looked at that thing again, as many others I think because it didn't stay for very long |

Yeah, give CCP more ideas to Rip-off people... like they need any help in that department 
By the way.. i did stop "Paying to play" for arcade games when i got my 1st console.. I just got the original copy of the game and played for free indefinitely. |

I hear what you're saying but I'm still cheap as hell.
Besides I'd rather not buy anything until this game finds its way to a stable place. |

Yep, but your original copy won't offer you new gameplay. Ever.
Dust is bound to evolve constantly. |

I'm kind of cheap too. But as time goes by, I've learned to put my time and bucks where my true and long-lasting interests are. |

Exactly. Evolution of the game is essential. Glad to be part of the changing world of online games. In the beforetime, you played a game over and over. Dust514 is never-ending, always in flux -- and that's a good thing  |
