Of all the things that will help a gamer enjoy DUST 514, patience is the biggest IMHO. I see SO many people who are upset/disappointed that the game hasn't advanced as far as they would hope and of course this is 100% understandable--DUST is an amazing game with all the ingredients to be the worlds biggest and best sci-fi IP and we all want to be in mechs and jets, shooting lasers from dropships, killing rogue drones and even just enjoying a full suite of racial weapons, dropsuits, equipment and vehicles, cross platform battles with two way orbital artillery, planet scorching titan strikes, lava/gas/ice/plasma planets, vertical maps with zero G, weapons labs, gladiator arenas with capture the flag type gamemodses, a full economy between DUST and EVE (phew!). We want it to be on PS4 with graphics that do justice to the beautiful aesthetic of New Eden and its inhabitants with the performance to play this badass shooter in huge fights on maps that requires air transport ...but this stuff is going to take time.
People shouldn't stay only because of a future vision; life's too short to spend your finite time on something that isn't giving you sufficient fulfillment but it really pays to remember the future vision often. It helps me get through the highs and lows which I kind of see as a part of New Eden's history itself. I really love watching the game evolve and I feel lucky that I had the personality type that is attracted to what CCP is doing. Yeah the ups and downs of continual balance issues could drive me away but I stick it out because its worth it.
I really think one day all those people who were quick to pass D514 by will have to take notice once the game's had more time in the oven. The EVE Online game and IP has provided a backdrop that no other modern military FPS can ever hope to match. The evidence of DUST's unique DNA is already present in many aspects of the game's general design (economy & resource management, races/lore, customisation depth etc).
It's possible that one day in the future DUST will stand triumphantly at the throne of online FPS games, the head of CoD in one hand and BF in the other, laughing as Planet Side 2 cowers in the corner and soils its self before true F2P greatness.
Haha 
Or...DUST 514 will be an ongoing financial drain on CCP that eventually passes the point of financial recovery and is tragically put to rest after a plague of ongoing development issues and woes stall progress thus causing the community to jump ship.
Either way, I'll be here till we're taken off of TQ.
