TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 878	Posted - 2014.03.03 11:14:00 - [1] - Quote I've been keeping track of Dust since Closed Beta, After sticking through the lack of balance, and addition of bugs You'd think it would get better, but with the state of PC this is a sinking ship... A minority of gamers like myself, enjoy playing to earn what they have And despite being offered chances to make free ISK with PC corps I declined as I know that would ruin the enjoyment of gameplay for me This is not the case for a lot of players, who have made themselves Unbelievably rich using exploits to get ahead I have no issue with guys being richer than most, but to what extent? It's no secret how much is some of these players have... so what about their corps?? Billions would be an accurate number at this stage..... Enough that they will never be matched by the honest corps Never mind the newer players who will never have a chance to compete As a playerbase are you happy CCP have let this continue?? From the perspective of a guy who has tried to encourage new players This has killed all chances of this game reaching it's potential 10% of the players would be close to holding 90% of in-game wealth As time goes by these players will make the game un-playable I've no issue having my ass kicked by richer/skilled gamers But when these guys exploited/cheated to get the advantage Takes away all fun from playing this game.... And don't be fooled by CCP if they fix the ability to exploit PC As it is already too late because the damage has been done Plasma Cannon performs its suppresion/area denial role perfectly Pity dust players only perform one role - slaying
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 878	Posted - 2014.03.03 11:22:00 - [2] - Quote That's what I'm saying, all the guys not on that side will soon be sick of this game And do you think the Protostompers will have fun consistently fighting each other?? There isn't that many active Dust mercs, so CCP efforts to hand taco's to some While disregarding the others will lead to an even smaller playerbase....

TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 878	Posted - 2014.03.03 11:47:00 - [3] - Quote Again I pointed out the issue with that already.... Even when CCP fix PC the damage has been done How long have guys made serious amounts of ISK via exploits??? Fixing PC still leaves these guys with heavy wallets That were filled while exploiting the mechanics of the game And caused more delay in game production Plasma Cannon performs its suppresion/area denial role perfectly Pity dust players only perform one role - slaying

CCP will not punish them they prefer to punish the community by things like a limit of WP per time that can be earnes by removal of WP for vehicles repairs and so on. And instead of stopping this PCQ nonsense they talk about how terrible BPO's break the economy. Sometimes it seems CCP want us to exploit the game with very possible way. The sad part is the honest players are left alone as well as new players and IMHO its just a matter of time till the exploiters get bored... And lets be honest in PCQ not ISK is farmed WP and SP is farmed as well...All in All Dust is in a sad state currently those who exploit get rewarded those who don't get punished it is a shame and CCP should feel ashamed to let this happens for so long. Good to know I'm not the only one pointing this out, every point you make is spot on.... And LOL CCP...BPO's break the economy ??? uh-huh, so what does handing 10% of the playerbase unlimited ISK achieve other than smashing your already broken economy to pieces ???

Only way I see people here staying with Dust is if we get whatever this "evolutionary" thing is during the summer or close to Destiny's release. And it'll be interesting to see how CCP plans to actually get new players if most people that are interested in the idea of an MMO-FPS are busy with Destiny. Regardless of what CCP add that does not change the fact that too many players have exploited So no matter what they add (I'm sure it will be good) it is pointless to try compete with cheaters There needs to be a full ISK reset for corps who farmed their advantage Maybe more severe reprimand for those who also farmed SP and padded their K/D Without this, the only guys left will be the 8-13 year olds who want a free game And the guys who have exploited the game for their set of crutches CCP are on to something great with Dust514 but do they think other companies can't see that? By the end of this year, more games will be released with the same immersion as Dust And most likely by developers who will take action against exploiters no matter how much Cash they throw at the game, unlike CCP who farm $ before offering a balanced game The lore in New Eden is pretty awesome, but that will be the only unique feature SOONtm Plasma Cannon performs its suppresion/area denial role perfectly Pity dust players only perform one role - slaying

You will never hold land in any PC(Gamemode)...ever. 6 months down the line when PC is fun and functional, you can be the one to explain to your members why they can't play Dust 514's EndGame. Added to The List I disregard anything you post on here You openly admit being a cheat, and how you benefit from it And in the end you think it makes you better than other players Any performance I've seen from you has been mediocre.... Having to use Proto to gain advantage in pubs And without the backing of a stacked side, your as dead as anyone else Thank god for that hide post feature, I suggest you do likewise And ill note if CCP tolerates players like you this game will fail EA can reset/ban exploiters/boosters What can CCP do about them???
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 897	Posted - 2014.03.03 16:29:00 - [8] - Quote Don't mistake me here, I am committed to Dust514 I have every hope that it progresses to the levels being planned by CCP But using exploits to gain an advantage needs to stopped and punished It's that simple, or else these same people will hold that over every new player Guys gaining an advantage by working at it is fine.... you earn it, then use/abuse But exploiting for it and overall delaying game production is unfair to the playerbase This needs to be stopped the longer it is allowed, the longer this game suffers EA can reset/ban exploiters/boosters What can CCP do about them???
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 897	Posted - 2014.03.03 17:00:00 - [9] - Quote I'm not looking to make enemies, I don't care what people think If others won't ask CCP to sort this out, ill QQ if need be The issues with PC need addressing asap, before it goes any further You can all criticize me if you like but I am addressing this issue on behalf of the players That intend to enjoy and appreciate the progression of Dust514, not abuse it Cubs, I know you can run proto all day, and you've been here long enough to be insanely ISK rich and overall your a good player... certainly one who can adapt to most threats in battle, not just wrecking faces with a rifle , My 10mil SP vehicle Alt has not been used since 1.7 it's a cheap crutch But earning your proto gear, and exploiting to get it are 2 different things EA can reset/ban exploiters/boosters What can CCP do about them???
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 906	Posted - 2014.03.03 18:42:00 - [10] - Quote Well i'll have to stay broke, I'll work my way through Dust as I have since beginning I like taking the learn as you go approach rather than tutorials, earning as I go Just testing things out and adapting to other roles has kept me interested so far Your talk of an ISK factory sounds tempting Just reaching out and grabbing that 100$ is a choice Everyone should not be forced to that level, as others got away with it There is 2 sides to this, Players in it for the game and players in it for themselves I want this game to reach it's full potential others are focused on breaking it at any opportunity to get a step ahead, you are delaying the games progress . I've made my point, hopefully CCP take note that not all players benefit from this And every new player that joins will be turned away by the situation you have let stand EA can reset/ban exploiters/boosters What can CCP do about them???

TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 912	Posted - 2014.03.03 23:44:00 - [11] - Quote Leadfoot10 wrote: The problem with this game has nothing to do with farming PC. The problem is with the perception by some that that's the problem. Let's use an example. Me. I run proto virtually all the time. I've not received a dime from my corp (outside of one 2m payment the other day), despite the fact that we farm our 10 districts and have for some time. Read that again and let it sink in. I can afford to do this because of (a) the two refunds, (b) grinding for six month in starter/bpo suits, and (c) my skill (which is modest compared to many). There's nothing stopping you from doing it to, except perhaps a defeatist attitude exhibited by the OP based upon the failed premise that it's PC that's causing the perceived skill gap. Because outside of NS, there really isn't anyone who is exploiting PC and using those gains to fund a protostomping playstyle. You may not be benefiting from it, but your corporation now has a serious stock-pile obtained through exploiting PC, I have not complained over protostomping Do what you like with your ISK, my complaints are due to ISK being earned via exploits Don't try turn this into a stomping issue, that is not the problem Stomping will always happen, it is the nature of Dust players 100+ player corps need to stop exploiting to have an advantage I can only give my opinion on forums Critic all you like, I want this game to progress
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 917	Posted - 2014.03.04 12:31:00 - [12] - Quote I'm not arguing it out with you..... Your corp and others have gotten ahead via exploits Yes atm there is not much that ISK can do for you But this 'may or may not' stay the case once new content is released You are trying to make the fact that your corp has farmed an advantage irrelevant yet if that was the case, they wouldn't have done it I can only give my opinion on forums Critic all you like, I want this game to progress
