Meta Game -- how to project unfulfilled doucheyness into a video game environment.
Friendly fire abuse and team grief have no place in a fps, except to clearly illuminate players who are asshats. |

I play with a ds3 controller, I do not KBM. Social interactions aren't really the focus of console games, if people really wanted such deep seeded social connections why are they playing this instead of EVE?
I think CCP was trying to reach out to console games with dust, but I would "imagine" maybe console gamers are console and not mmorpg players for a reason. I've played both, but honestly the social aspect of many big games is what changed me to a console gamer.
TL;DR I hate my gaming experience being ruined by scrubs and people drama, why would I want that to bleed into my game? |

I take my interest in improvement; not only does this game allow for guild and player skill improvement but also character skill improvement.
I take genuine enjoyment over winning matches and trying to top out the score board and especially destroying vehicles.
Apparently the game is boring and only player interaction is interesting? Why not skip the game and just find a social outlet?
You're statement confuses me, please expand.
Edit: also I'm not a FPS console fanboy, cod/mw/bf are boring because they never change, I like mmos primarily because of the amount and addition of content, dust fills that role, but most of the games I play are not specifically shooters. |

It appears there are a faction of people that confuse metagaming with social interactions. Good point. There are many aspects of the meta game that donGÇÖt involve social interaction. For instance, if location had relevance in Planetary Conquest, then the decisions of which district to attack next would be part of the Meta Game. It would be a tactical decision that would look at a CorpGÇÖs resources and long term plans and tie that single match into the larger picture, so that each match is just one move on the meta chessboard. (I really hope PC 2.0 makes location relevant!)
As spelled out in this post I have no problem with meta-gaming.
Also I guess posting from my phone at work did not allow for me to be susinct enough to get my message through, I like playing with good people and communicating with friends, politics and sabotage add a dimension to games that just does not interest me.
I understand it is by design that these are incorporated into the game, I don't think they add to the /gameplay/ if that makes more sense.

I could never get interested in EVE I guess that explains the disconnect with a lot of EVE -> Dust and just Dust players.
I play to tanks explode and dropships crash to the ground. If someday that would require three months of preperation and sabatogue I certainly wouldn't bother with this game. |
