DUST Search - Petition to Bring back Corp battles

So by all means, continue to berate IWS for sharing the truth, which is that Corp Contracts are not going to magically appear in 1.8 because you made a petition and got a bunch of people angry at a perceived slight. Corp contracts will also not return in their previous form, certainly not tied to Faction Warfare and certainly not without some of the design issues addressed in the process. Will they return in some form, some day? I certainly hope so, as do all of the rest of the CPM. No one's fighting the -idea- of corp contracts, all IWS is trying to explain is that stamping our feet and bumping threads is not going to be the way this gets implemented.

If any of MY statement above is factually untrue (such as devs EXPLICITLY declaring they will not be re-implementing a corp contract system or providing corps freedom to create their own content at districts) , feel free to correct me here. Otherwise, I'm more than happy to dowse the torches and send everyone home from the riot party with the comfortable knowledge that there's no need to obnoxiously bump threads and lead a faux revolution just to "be heard". You've been heard by the CPM, you've been heard by CCP, everyone knows PC is broke and corp contracts were more fun, and all there is left to do is to chill for a bit until the new EP can share with you his plan for the future.

....and THAN you can go grab your pitchforks again if don't hear what you're looking for. Fair enough?

The ability for friendly matches and to mess around with allied corps is something that would strengthen the community. I don't know about PC, as I'm not involved with that stuff, but generally this would be one of the most basic features to have in an FPS... Well, at least it was about ten years ago. Imagine the possibilities. Allied corps could work together on 0 ISK matches to create flight school training camps for their new players. All the lost dropships would be ISK sinks. People could be testing the changes of new patches in a controlled environment, research bugs on their own and set up awesome scenarios. What is there not to like? The kind of nonsense scenarios that this opens up are perfect for players that feel burnt out on DUST. It adds a sense of community and reduces frustration with the game. Edit: I also forgot to mention the obvious thing. Tournaments

Fair enough? Why not like this right from the beginning? Your post is wonderfully informative, in contrast to the very... political way that IWS tends to express himself with. Reminds me of that thread about pre-nerfing cloaks that he masked by claiming that he is eager to see cloaks. This kind of answer is exactly what I'm browsing the forum for.

While I agree that it is questionable at this point in time if anyone feels paying for items or aurum is worthwhile, I would still like to point out that I myself have been a customer of CCP's for quite some time, going back to before the time Dust existed. I know I am not the only one. You are the product as long as you don't pay. You are intended to give the customers reason to play the game and invest even more money. You become a customer once you invest money. Basically, non-paying players are very smart and emotional bots.
