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....

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

Unfortunately CCP's stance to boosters and exploiters is well lets say harmless.

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.

In the games current state it won't last past Destiny's launch, but if CCP does actually have something "evolutionary" for Dust at fanfest then it'll be interesting to see how things go. 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

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.

You're challenging someone for the 'most threads made that **** people off' trophy aren't you?

why does it matter how much money anyone has?

I can't think of a single mmo ever created that doesn't maintain a population with haves and have nots.

no game where the older players have serious overwhelming advantages over new players, they may not be pitted against each other on regular basis, but if you ever attempt to pvp in those games you'll find out about that advantage first hand pretty quickly.

my suggestion....just play the game and stop concerning yourself with other players. I been running pubs for two weeks now in a 15k miltia heavy suit, and been turning over tons of isk and getting pretty decent kill scores. isk means **** you don't need alot of it currently.

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...
