actually in my opinion you are right.
at least somewhat right OP.
ps4 and games like cod ghosts and bf4 will move players away from dust.

but dust was never meant to stay in direct competition with games like those.
for sure its an fps game and it should attract fps players. but in my eyes dust is more than that.
what really makes dust enjoyable for me is the meta game. the players you meet, the friends you find. never have i touched a game before which drained me so much into it and brought me in contact with so many cool guys.

I wont move to another game. dust deserves a chance, its on a good way and i like to see it improve. we dont have pressure behind this game. i think ccp earns enough with eve and already earned enough with dust to give it the time it needs to become what it deserves to be.

dust is not another generic fps game. its a service, its a universe, its a crazy movie which brings up all kinds of emotions in me from rage and anger to happiness and joy. dont fixate on what is wrong or broken, fixate on what is good and makes fun.

for sure there are other games out there, and nobody forces you to stay with dust, but you will regret leaving new eden one day.

I've seen so many games, some better ones, some worse ones.

i am happy to be part of the journey on which dust and we all are. I can't wait to see whats coming up next and I cant wait for the next fight with my fellow mercs, my brother and friends i found here.

call me stupid for sticking to this game, But i think with people leaving for ps4 and other games dust is not dieing, not at all. maybe the playerbase will go down a bit, but what stays are the people who believe in this game and want to see it improve. thats not bad at all for it gives ccp a more focused and cleaner feedback from the guys who are really interested in this game and not in their own advantage.

therefore it will help improvimg the game so once it finally reaches ps4, its gonna be the blast no one expected from "that dieing game"

but thats just my opinion. I enjoy playing dust since I started, and i dont see this changing in the future.


EDIT:
and one important thing: dust is what you make out of it. it is boring? try something new and have some fun! **** your kdr and ego. this is a videogame! its designed for fun. the only thing which is different between dust and other games is that dust is no easy entertainment where you have blinking arrows all over your screen telling you what to do.
this is a sandbox. leave your trace and try to build a castle! see it bruning, go out and destroy other castles, its your decision, but you have to make the first move, and personally i think this is the point alot of frustrated players dont see.
Dust is what YOU make out of it.
