First off, don't be deceived by Eve Online's current awesome standard. Eve Online was not even 20% of what it is today back when it first launched in 2003. The tutorial system was horrible, a large number of ship classes and tiers were not readily available, graphics were laughable even to 2003 standards (their old publisher was skeptical because of this alone), there were sooooooooo many unbalanced ships and modules, mechanics were mostly broken and thus exploitable, players suffered the infamous BOOT.INI removal at one point, and development progress was just as slow. To give you an idea of how slow, Factional Warfare in Eve Online didn't come out until almost 5 years after Eve launched and even then FW was an absolute joke and was easily exploitable. In Dust, at least you get monthly updates and you got FW right at the start with only half the problems Eve players suffered. Eve players had to suffer a lot of what I described above but Eve Online finally improved over the years and was able to compete with the likes of World of Warcraft and Guild Wars despite its small player base of 500,000+. You guys just have to learn patience. A lot of it. OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved? *CLOSED BETA VETERAN SINCE REPLICATION BUILD*

Dust has disasterous lopsided balance issues and broken metagame (e.g. locked districts). Like all ppl who invested time and/or money in this game I am vexed and disappointed by Dust. However, this is not a trolling thread. I am genuinely curious how the same company can make two games that are that dissimilar in quality especially a company with an apparently good track record of listening to the community. EVE = adults on a computer. DUST = console kiddie crowd with their sucky little joysticks. Reason why DUST will fail until they take it away from the thumb jockeys. Who said Dust was meant for kiddies? Dust is where the boys are separated from the men. OK, CCP. When are knives finally going to be improved? *CLOSED BETA VETERAN SINCE REPLICATION BUILD*

Ships are way too big to land on planets (other than like frigates and destroyers). Technically Eve ships are not able to safely fly within the atmosphere of a planet. The core material used in the Eve ship production is Tritanium which is highly unstable when it comes into contact with the atmosphere. Ships will explode like crazy. OK, CCP.

Try telling that to the miners who had to put up with suicide gankers in Hulkageddon. Wasn't fair for the miners but no one cared. OK, CCP.
