OMG! OP, your post just helped me realize that the sky is blue! Vote for Pedro!

The sky is blue but I dont know where pedro stands on abortion so I can't in good conscious offer my support.

I think your forgetting another chunk of the playerbase: people who have heard of/are interested by Eve but don't want to play it.

I've heard stories about all the crazy things that happen in Eve for years, and have always been fascinated by it. Every time I watched some gameplay videos or read a write up of some huge battle though, my reaction has been that it looks too much like work or is far too slow paced to keep my interest. As an actual SA goon I would have a foot in the door with one of the most powerful alliances in Eve, but it's not enough to make me want to play... I'm content to sit back and wait for the next article about 2000 people logged into a single battle and shooting at each other.

I was attracted to Dust because it was a way to get involved in New Eden's crazy MMO aspect, while playing a more conventional, faster paced game. I've stuck around for almost a year now because of the people I play with, and CCP's promise that one day Dust will actually make a difference in New Eden, which they have yet to deliver on.

I've said it before, CCP doesn't have the resources to make Dust the next Call of Duty or Battlefield; it will never compete with the big boys as a pure FPS. The MMO aspect is where it can stand out and make a real name for itself, because CCP has already made an MMO so interesting people who don't even play it have an interest in it's workings, politics and battles.

This is me, another homeless who may be ablaze.

Have the Devs responded to this anywhere? I remember someone posting that CCP Saberwing had said he'd seen the thread on twitter. I'm wondering if the response is there as well or perhaps the response will be in the next dev blog entry.

SUPER-NECRO-BUMP!!!!

There's no way a Dev can ignore this now.

Blue Tags Please!

After my last post I took a break from this thread, and went back to focusing on making content for my line members (I also spent a good chunk of that camping N3 into 0-W). This far into the thread, the continued response is nice to see.

I have a feeling the CCP Rouge is laying the foundation for some big changes that will be announced at fanfest. My fear at this point, is that with the lack of expectation management and feedback, if the announcement isn't absolutely brilliant it will cause more damage than good to the community.

I guess we'll wait and see; Unfortunately for Dust an increasing number of our fellow players will do neither.

I think we have to accept that this is a lobby shooter until they have a better platform (PS4) to work with.

Personally I believe the announcement should be a high level idea of what that might look like and entail. But ultimately they should provide various lobby shooter style game modes while we wait.

A Goon in with the CPM is like walking backwards whilst cutting your own throat.

You must be far more clever than I am; I've tried to parse this about three times already, and am still unsure in what possible context this post makes sense.

Edit: I think you think it's a bad thing? The real question is what brought this up, as there are no goon CPM candidates, and why would you hold such a prejudice in the face of all historical evidence and reason?
