Very Very Very True.
No matter how balanced or full of content this game is unless the Meta is there, it will be nothing more than an empty shell of a lobby shooter.
When I joined DUST I envisaged Clone Jumping across galaxies, I saw myself being an being armed response for Drone Infestations, I saw myself being a Path Finder through immensely complex Jovian Ruins. I saw myself commiting sabotage on space stations on ground facilities and maybe even EvE spaceships.
I imagined fighting fiercely for land that would not be mine, for land that would be mine. I envisaged myself being approched by EvE pilots to fufill these contracts, double dealinhg behind their backs, I saw myself racking up a bounty from the Corporations and Alliances who's truct I had betrayed, I saw myself joining and leaving Corporations at will particpating in a grimy undrworld buying out soilders on the other side. I imagined Skyfire Cannons and Orbitals suddenly changing there targeting as I bought the player controlling them.
I saw a game where I could get Involved in a Massive Universe that reacted to my every action, no matter how small.
I am still here, I am still waiting.

The key is that the FPS part has to be engaging and fun. Does it have to be the best FPS experience out there? No, but it has have a minimum of entertainment. Unfortunately, if the FPS part just leads to a dead end in terms of the bigger picture Dust will follow right along to that dead end as well.
The gameplay and moment to moment is what is going to hook people in at the start, but it's going to be the community and the "greater game" that keep people here.
Indeed it will be, we understand CCP's descision to focus on the FPS side first, after all we all know that once your hooked you can't just leave.
However all we want in Reality is form of formal document or timeline, or brief from CCP that outlines that they intend to improve the matagame in some way.
Even if it's just,
