Dust can't keep throwing away potential customers and burning up the fanbase of people potentially interested in the game.

Do you have any concrete numbers to back your bet?

Yep!!!

THEN
A few months ago it was 70 million PS3 sold and we barely manage 4000k peak numbers.

NOW!!
We have MORE than 70 million PS3 sold and yet we barely manage 4000k peak numbers.

This right there tells you the Dust 514 playerbase is imploding.

Comnsider the comnstant QQ and fail threads effect on the popularity of the game itself, I'd also like to see how badly the playerbase itself hurts its own game by shooting its mouth off nonstop.

I don't see PS4 mentioned anywhere in there, and the effect of players moving to that as of yet unsupported platform, if anything taking into consideration platform migration the numbers would appear stable.

4000 then is 4000 now.

Your use of the word "Imploding" I would assume is unfounded legal slander, and If I were in charge of the company I would prosecute you legally.

IF Dust went to PS4 and the numbers did not grow from 4,000 at that point , then your assertion would stand up to scrutiny.

There is still missing data, we would need numbers for both PS3 and PS4. Growth and loss rates to find the answer.

I would also like to be able to compare it to rates of loss due to constant player theory crafting and emo charged QQ in open forums, and its effect on the game itself. It's self defeating like an Opus Dei flaggelant.

Militia tanks should either be made of paper, or cost ISK to deploy. Right now it just caters to noobs, and you even have people with full skills into tanks deploying militia tanks because it's vastly more profitable for a slight hit to performance. Yeah. Plus 1.7 angered a lot of folks. And 16 versus 16 is just stale and old. Just waiting for April to get my hands on a PS4. Abandon Ship!, Abandon Ship!! Jumps into escape pod!

It's self defeating like an Opus Dei flaggelant. Its simple MORE PS3 consoles sold equals MORE potential users of any given game. Its very simple where 1 or higher equals growth LESS than 1 equals DECAY. Where PS3 70m for 4k equals 1 Growth is if 70m equal 4k =1 then 80m needs to equal 1 PLUS an INCREASED number DECAY is if 70m equal 4k=1 then 80m consoles sold needs to equal the same 4k number. A STATIC 4k means no growth even in the face of an increased potential userbase. In fact an 80m PS3 consolebase means that Dust needs to be at 4500 to 5000 to be considered a static number in view of more consoles sold. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-06-playstation-3-sales-hit-80-million Abandon Ship!, Abandon Ship!!

If a few months later I now have 15 rental units and the gross is still at 4000 dollars then somebody is about to be fired. In short if I have more rental units then there better be a higher number than 4000 dollars in that account. Or if you want to talk about platform migration as an EXCUSE then k!! 80m PS3 sold minus 4m PS4 sold equals 76m PS3? Then why are dust numbers still at 4k?? Lol! Dust 514 playerbase is dropping.
