1. I have found over time that I do, occasionally, get better goods/services when I am willing to spend or indicate I am willing to spend a little extra. For example, buying my paper towles and toilet paper from the bulk-buy club. Did I just spend $30 on TP and paper towels? Yes, but I now have enough of both to last months, and it's cheaper than buying them continuously accross the same time period.
2. I disagree with the "paintbucket"/customization option, IMO that stuff should be basic stuff, and included. Vanity items, however, seem appropriate for monetization/capitalization.
3. I think CCP could turn some profits by actually following the lead of most every other game released in the last 5 years and creating....wait for it....DLC levels!! And adding some DLC could solve multiple issues simultaneously-
NPE sucks/the Academy isn't enough- Here, get a cheap DLC level that will allow players to stretch, develop and exercise some skills BEFORE actually jumping into the pubcauldron most of us call home.
There aren't enough game modes- DLC missions could add in specialized game modes like escort/protect the convoy, breach/defend the building, hack/protect the console etc. AND they could use the existing maps and sockets so the design side load is lighter (maybe) AND if they could be set as Co-op they could provide great training/bonding matches for new recruits and their corps.
ProtoStompers killed Santa- Replayable DLC levels could give mercs an alternate way to generate SP and ISK (maybe at a slower rate than pubs) without HAVING to face down Protos every. Single. Game.
QQ His gun/suit/vehicle killed me, NERFNAO!!- DLC modes/missions could demonstrate/reinforce battlefield realities and roles, things like an HMG in a hallway will r@pe unless flanked or that the Plasma Cannon is ******* perfect unless you're a noob so stfu about adjusting it already.
TL,DR - DUST is attempting to forge it's own path and identity in the world of games, but that doesn't have to mean that it can't or shouldn't borrow well established elements of gaming when appropriate. STFU about the PLC!
