Most people just move on with their lives when they stop liking a game.

I tried FFXIV for about 2 months. Nice MMORPG but it just didn't interest me as much as I hoped it would. So I ended my subscription and played other games. Game just didn't click with me.

I didn't lurk for month's on the game's forums bitching to others about my bad experiences. I didn't post cursing the developers and claiming my leave of absence (which I've seen for the most part are complete BS as most of you are still here).

If you don't like it, leave. I promise you that while no developer 'enjoys' hearing someone doesn't like their game, they're not losing any sleep over you. And players damn sure don't. Most people make games because that's what they enjoy doing. Some people like what they make, some don't. Those that don't, well sh^t. Guess it wasn't for them. But those that like it and enjoy playing it, that's what's it's all really about.

In every video, blog, and interview, CCP sounds like they just made DUST 514 to try to make something new. To realise a vision. But most of all because it sounded like a f^ckin cool idea and they had nothing to stop them from running with it. Clearly they're not in this solely for money. After I hit 20mil SP I saw no need to keep buying boosters. At this point the normal pace is fine. In EVE Online if you work hard enough you can play it without spending a dime.

Everything CCP does flat out screams that they're in this for the fun of it. The sheer amount of easily ignored lore, hidden game ties that no one but someone earnestly looking would see, new stuff that while cool clearly were put there just because they could, shows that EVE and DUST are games made to be enjoyed by those who can enjoy it. Not games that are made just for the success of them before moving on to the next project.

This is just how I see them as a young developer myself (last year of college but w/e I have a decent portfolio >.<)



TL;DR - I don't think this game is going to be what everyone is screaming it should be like. It's going to be it's own thing, just like EVE. It's going to be for people who enjoy what it is, and not for people that don't. So if you waiting for it to be a balanced FPS like what you've played before, or like games you keep trying to compare it to, just go. Most of the people that just enjoy the game don't even read these forums because it's full of toxic whiners who need to do just that.

TL;DR WSTL - Quichurbitchin and gtfo. Gaming selections are huge. I'm sure there's something for you.
