At minute 3:33 where it says, you can fight for ideals, money, or simply because it's what your good at.

Well for some reason Dust is now only about money money money. I love to fight for my ideals, because i have strong gallente/minmatar beliefs, but i find it harder and harder to not just fight for money, because now this entire game just revolves around money. When you introduced PC you allowed the top corps that already had the most skill a nearly infinite amount of ISK, now they are the only ones that can proto stop 24/7 because they have all the isk in the game. While the rest of everyone is struggling to stay above 5 million isk.

It seems like this is not to be played as a game, or to have fun but just to simply make as much money as you can.

you must be new.

its a closely guarded secret, but this game isn't finished yet.

it's in what you call a "covert" open beta.

it will be another 2 years before ccp either makes this game amazing or folds.

judging by eve, I'm putting my bets on amazing, but I do see a clear path to failure.

ISK is play money, it means less than Monopoly money in DUST. Making ISK is easy and hoarding it is fun but mostly useless. The only number that has ever mattered in DUST is measured in SP. SP is why we log in, SP is why we grind, SP is what we need to raise our skills and SP is the only true focus of a Merc in DUST. Everything feeds into SP. WP and Time in Battle = SP. Boosters bump SP. Passive SP rewards you when you sleep. SP is the goal, the purpose and the one true reward in DUST. The rest are byproducts of the constant grind for SP. CCP will always change the game, at the very least they will make more Skills that will sink more SP. Without SP, there is no reason to play DUST. okay but would you agree that people that are in PC can make isk easier than people that aren't?
