Well, some will blame CCP because of the gameplay issues we are currently facing.
Personally I blame the playerbase. If we had better working mechanics I can't honestly see the competition doing any better than they currently are, or responding to the ass whupping any more favorably. Yea, people are "bored" but these same guys have been bored for over a year worth of beta and they still log in. So clearly it isn't anymore boring than any other game.
When the playerbase is full of incompetent cowards this is the situation you end up with. That's all there really is to it. |

It's a little more complicated than that, don't you think?
I've got a bunch of free games on my hard drive right now, and they all suck and are boring. I don't play them as a result. This isn't something that happens with Dust, though. Of course, most people eventually move on... that's cyclical and it's what console gamers do. But it's also true that there are a ton of games out there with people screaming "the game is dying! the game is dead!" And these same people say the same thing for years, all the while still playing. So there is a large amount of hypocrisy there that they do not wish to admit to. |

I'm well aware of the promises made.
Honestly sometimes I wonder myself why I still support CCP. They are part dragon, part lamb. They are dreamers who seek to do the impossible by doing everything ridiculously simple. They are incredibly ambitious developers, held back by a good number of cowards in the right places.
I think the main reason I stick with them is because you never really know what you're going to end up getting. It's never what they say it's going to be, but to deny the progress they made to EVE over the years is impossible. Dust is having an even rockier launch than EVE did, and it's one of those situations where every player counts if its going to stay alive long enough to surprise us.
So I guess I'm going by past experience and lending them my patience, then waiting to be surprised. Not everyone has watched EVE bloom over the years, so it's more difficult for them to have faith in Dust. I've learned to accept the game for it is now, and I put all of my enjoyment in the actual competition aspect of it. Winning against a tough opponent is still fun, and it always will be. |

There is that. |

I'm part of the cause of your boredom, and the reason people want to quit. Those same people are the cause of my boredom, and the reason I feel inclined to quit.
Yet I'm the one standing in a position of superiority. If those other players stepped up their game, neither of us would be in a bad position.
Why should I force myself to suck in a game where the point is to win?
Everyone else is the problem. Not us. |
