No one is stopping you from leaving....

I doubt CCP have the skill to implement it correctly though.

I play COD more when i get home from work. Simply because its much more fun, and less serious. I'd rather get killstreaks and excitement than pubstomp with nyain and go 20/0 over & over. And playing with nyain is probably the most fun i've had on dust so far.

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winner.

Its boring.
Its boring because its repetitive and bland. Theres hardly any real excitement because the vehicles are boring when you use them and annoying as f*ck when the enemies use them(but that doesn't matter because its annoying in every game when enemies kill you, no matter what).
Its bland because the graphics in battle feel sub par, the environment(buildings, map design, background, ground) is all repetitive and uninteresting(who wants to fight in the desert over & over WITH sh*tty graphics).
Theres not really any motivation to kill or win, in other games you often unlock really cool things for your gun as your killing with it, and also many times get killstreaks(hard to get exciteing treats for doing well, vastly helping to keep the game fresh).

These are the exact reasons why dust is what it is.
Its not balance, most other games are WAY more unbalanced.
Its not bugs and glitches, many other popular games have far more glitches than we do atm.
Its not lack of racial suits or connection to EVE, the average joe wouldn't consider that at all when he tries dust.
Its not even the ludicrous grind times for unlocking things, we've proven by playing, that we can get over that.

Its because,
its boring.
And its boring for those reasons I mentioned.
You know it, I know it, we all know it.
CCP wants this game to succeed? Make it more exciting and immediately rewarding. Less bland.

Never had killstreak in MAG
There was one vehicle
Always played on the same 12 (ugly ? meh, no i'm mean) maps (screw that vehicle game mode i hated)
Everyone had the same character layout ( rep\heal\hack\run fast\ hit knives dude....not much for originality)
Contract system was broken (aka no motivation to win\lose)

Yet it was an awfully fun game. There aint no absolute recipe for a fun FPS.

The main reason dust sucks is the lack of content, lack of balance, and the gamebreaking design of letting 30m SP vets stomp on academy "graduates".

Its not balance, most other games are WAY more unbalanced.
Its not bugs and glitches, many other popular games have far more glitches than we do atm.

As a 1.1m SP new player that has been playing for just over three weeks, I personally feel that the amount of content is acceptable, though I do not play for more than 10 hours a week. Perhaps if I played more I would feel differently.

As a longtime player intimately familiar with both FPS games and MMO's (though new to the EVE Universe), the innate balance of one class and loadout versus another isn't really too bad. However, there is a segue here to my next point...

Having people graduate the Battle Academy with less than 510k SP and then forcing them to fight against veterans with 30M SP is terrible, terrible game design. Now granted, I am still figuring out how to best allot the SP I have, but I'm quickly getting the hang of it. I rarely lose an engagement against someone with similar gear. Usually when I lose, it's against someone in a prototype suit with a prototype weapon.

Just yesterday I was sniping and my team was getting crushed. So I decided to sit back and do a minor poll of how many geared players were on the other team. I was using the Militia Gallente Medium dropsuit (saving for the Logi suit), Ishukone Sniper Rifle with a light damage mod. I could oneshot anyone in starter gear with a headshot. A heavy in a prototype suit? 5 shots. Roughly 20% armor left. At least 3 of those were headshots, he was standing still.

I feel like if CCP would create tiers of SP levels, the game would be much more balanced.

1. Extend the Battle Academy to 5000 WP. Skilled players will graduate in 2 games, less skilled players have more time against lesser geared players before getting curbstomped after they graduate.

2. Battle Academy graduates get dropped into a <1M SP bracket. Then subsequent brackets can look something like this:
1M - 3M
3M - 6M
6M - 10M
10M - 15M
15M - 20M
20M - 25M
etc

Just my personal opinion. I'm sure other people have better ideas, but this would at least be an improvement. I've almost quit more than once when I would get dropped into games against corps full of 10M+ players while I have my whopping 750k - 1M SP. No, thanks.
