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

This game will last as long as the die hard fanbois keeping spending real money on the game and as long as CCP continues to make a profit on the game. Even if they are not making a profit by now, I am sure they have an idea of when they would like to turn one. If they do not reach that profitability goal by their set deadline, then I can see them shutting it down. Most of us gamers, seem to forget that it is all about the cash. Developers are not here to make you happy. They are here to make bank. Period.

The game isn't going anywhere. CCP will use EVE revenue to keep building the game up until it's absolutely not financially feasible to do so. However, I dare say CCP is doing just fine off of DUST 514. I also dare say the old saying that 80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your customers rings true here. Just about every random I have squaded with uses boosters.

Some people won't be able to handle the work in progress nature of the game and will leave because they want it finished NOW which is unfortunate because that goes completely against the premise laid down by CCP on May 14th when they launched the game when they said that it was just the beginning of development. More people will take their place as word of mouth spreads the new advances of the game by those who stuck it out and stayed in the game.

It's been a rough 6 months internally at CCP with clearly a lot of staff changes, in particular an EP who wasn't able to deliver. People who can manage their expectations should probably wait till FF to start standing on the street corner wailing "the end is nigh!"

PC sucks for sure and CCP's lack of response has screwed over the economy but I don't really feel too much of the blow back other than the odd pub or FW match where I come across a proto squad. For the most part I'm still enjoying my time in game despite the bugs. I think I'm A LOT more laid back than most people here; I'm a visionary type myself, more interested in the big picture/end result than the necessity for everything to be perfect right now because I know that making anything massive and worthwhile isn't going to be done over night...just like Rome.

I'm going to wait till Fanfest, see if the communication improves, see what Rogue has to say and see what the evolution entails. Till then I'm going to enjoy playing with my friends, being a Matari and levelling up my precioussssss COVERT SUBTERFUGE pride n joy into a scout badass. I can understand other people's frustrations, I just don't sweat the small stuff over obstacles that lay before the grand design...

When Planetside 2 comes out dust will die for good fact destiny will kill it as well

i won't recommend this game to anyone. i tried once and ended up embarrassed, dude was like "you actually think this is fun?" things like large turrets spammed across the map that headshots you when unmanned, KBM support, snare mechanic upon being shot, subpar aiming, frame rate issues, grinding for isk is not fun, the list is huge why no normal person could like this game.

CCP seems to be risking everything on the next build/evolution. They seem to be laser focused on that and care nothing else about the game.

It's a huge risk. You lose so many players in the interim that it is hard to make up the loss. Then you allow exploiters and cheaters free reign not even giving them a slap on the wrist.

CCP knows about the PC exploits and ISK faucet, they just don't care. All I know is fanfest better be Fing awesome.

I really hope "evolutionary" doesn't mean "look guys we "fixed" PC and made it so that you can farm even more, please break the economy even further with our newly released P2P Market!!"

Isn't Planetside 2 one giant fail just like dust? Neither game, has much of a population and PS2 is just as grindy as dust. Personally I think dust in its current state, blows. However, there are enough die hards, that I just do not see it dying off anytime soon.

450HP Starter Fit =/= 900+HP Proto Fit.

With the ridiculous amount of Money, Pubstompers can just spam Boundless's and Kaalkalatia's and Duovalle's with Their 900+ Assault suit constantly with no consequents besides lolISK loss.
