Get your head out of your dream bubble CCP! Quit your laser-focus nonsense. And develope the game f

We are talking about 6 million very active player, not about the shadow numbers of the PS3.
Of course there are a crap-tone more PS3s out there, but I'm asking myself how many are actually in use, how meany people still play, and now many people are actually using the PS3. All I try to say, is that it is save to say, that from the 6 million there are probably the very biggest majority very active gamers.

My guess is that CCP was banking on raking in new players when the large mass of people who can't afford the PS4, but can now afford the extremely low pricetag of the PS3 noticing the F2P FPS they've never heard of.

Apparently CCP didn't realize the NPE of Dust514 makes that situation moot point.

I am not being a smartass. In EVE the tutorial lasts for about 15 minutes if you click every next box as fast as you can. I don't know how long it would take just doing it the correct way. It would have to be at least an hour. My question is how long should the game hold your hand? I understand that we need basic I formation but what is too much. I hear pilots in EVE complain that the NPE doesn't cover this and that but should it?

This game is a soap opera for men and it is kind of difficult to learn but at what point should CCP make the player do it themselves? I am not saying make the NPE junky or difficult on purpose but there needs to be a time when the game kicks you in the butt and says do it yourself. Catering to the players who don't want to try to learn or become involved with the community isn't good for a game where drive and the community are the two biggest selling points.

You are not serious right ? I hate this comparison EVE vs Dust.A guy can mine in High sec while he gets his combat skills up and then plans his progress to join the militia or be apart of the combat wing of his /her corporation that he shopped around for.....There are certificates and show info on everything in EVE .You look at a ship it tells you all the skills you'll need everything.Its all there. Noobs get smashed in this game .... flat out .They are immediately thrown in to lowsec and get there ** pushed in until they quit this game with a prolapsed anus.....and then by word of mouth they tell everyone it sux. Making the divide even greater in sp between the die hards like me and them. I had said this a year ago.... at the end there's gonna be (maybe ) 500 guys going "oh I spent all this money on this game and no one plays it. Now there shutting it down." I would rather have bluedots who play the game LONG ENOUGH to figure out than somebody who just turns it off after one MATCH. I can say this because I like to be impartial.Im 220 lbs man with 23 inch guns in circumference in rl , and in my younger days won many a fight when some one picked a fight with me when I was out clubbing. I didnt walk down to the elementary school or the nursing home looking for people to beat the crap out of .There is no challenge in that.
