So we had a Clan meeting today, as we do normally on the first of the month. But what wasn't normal was the speed with which we brought up, discussed, and dismissed Dust. We used to talk about it for hours.

A lot of you may not know RND or think only talking about Dust for a few hours isn't anything special, but RND has been around for a while in a few shooters, and has been competitive and very successful in all of them. So to spend hours talking about only Dust and very little time with current/future shooters when you have a number of players active in multiple other games was telling. Before PC launched we spent a lot of time discussing Alliances, Districts, strategies, etc in Clan meetings.

Today we spent all of 15 minutes talking about the current state of Dust, RND, and the relationship between the two. For the next hour and 15 minutes we spent time talking about two other games, only one of which is even out right now.

While I won't bore you with the details (as if you aren't bored by this point already), the point is, there's nothing new in Dust and from what I'm reading on the forums from Devs, there isn't any urgency to change that. With that in mind:

There's nothing new to be said, really, but it's worth repeating in yet another thread. If you've played the game for more than a few months, you know it's sorely lacking in content.

I'll just parrot the standard doom/gloom arguments because every day they become less pessimistic and more realistic: With big name titles right around the corner (or already here) like BF4 and GTAO and with the soon-to-be-released PS4 with its own slew of high-profile shooter titles (Killzone, Planetside 2, Destiny, The Division, Warframe, Blacklight Retribution, etc etc), things are only going to get worse. Every patch after 1.6 needs to be primarily concerned with adding content, because 3 modes on 8 maps with only 16v16 is horribly repetitive.

A lot of the corps that have 20 million + SP players are losing a lot of people because the game is just boring. There's nothing new to do, ever.

CCP: Make content a priority from here on out. Suits, maps, game modes, sockets, space stations, new planets (how long have we been fighting on only temperate planets?), PvE, anything.
