Thanks for the thread bump!
Its great to hear from fellow players.

Now tell me, how does this thread really make you feel?

And I've been playing this for a long time and don't intend to go anywhere, the QQ is one of the worst problems in this game.
It's why I have avoided these forums for so long, I came here looking for somebody to say something interesting, instead I got the examples you cleverly didn't bold in your quote.

I actively try to encourage growth within Dust by training new players and helping them not get torn to shreds by proto stompers, tank spammers and general FotM chasers, I want this game to grow but the thread after thread bitching does not help CCP in anyway shape or form.
Also a lot of the posts in these threads degrade into name calling and saying one player base bitched and moaned because they are no skill scrubs and thus got a buff.

This attitude of everyone sucks but me is what's really pathetic.
If you're not the one saying these things then why does this thread upset you so?
Your personal attack says more about you than it does me.

Some of the best players do not use these forums for the above reasons, some have even had to make their own alt corps so they can have their own forum to keep the asinine whiners and name callers out.

And the locker room is for off topic, suggestions to improve the game goes in the ideas and feedback pages, if this was trying to help the game it belongs there, this is on the topic of the game and the player base, if logibro disagrees he can feel free to move it.

EDIT: I'm going to throw some quotes in here I've found on the forums and the Dust FB page, just for context about who's really not being helpful:

"as usual CCP, YOU ****** UP THIS GAME EVEN MORE!"

"Total BULL CRAP! LEAVE OUR WEAPONS ALONE ALREADY. ITS STUPID TO KEEP CHANGING/Nerfing **** AROUND all the time. DESIGN IT ONCE AND LEAVE IT ALLLLOOONNEEEEE!"

"Read 1.8 update yet another complete bullshit update I'm afraid to say. Nothing of any use to me at all. Suprise suprise CCP you have really taken a great game (closed beta and chromosome) to a new all time low."

"ALL FOR THE LOVE OF BLUEBERRIES AND NOT THE VETERANS WHO HAVE BUSTED THEIR ASS GAINING SKILL POINTS TO AQUIRE THEIR RESPECTIVE WEAPONS."

"Another monumental **** UP by CCP. Its like everyone who works in their studios is missing two or more chromosomes, their probably the spawn of 4th generation incest. It's like they looked at 1.7 and thought, "you know what, Tanks seem pretty OP and unbalanced right now, you know what it needs, ANOTHER AV NERF!!!" I mean really, a 15% Nerf to Forge Gun damage to Shields, AV and Flux Nades capacity nerfed to just 2, Damage mods nerfed just 5% bonus at complex & increased stacking penalties. As if infantry wasn't crippled enough by Tank Spam in 1.7, they had to go and officially destroy the single line of defense that infantry had against vehicles, which wasn't even enough to kill tanks, only repel them. I've officially had enough of DUST514, I'm selling off my remaining 200million ISK I have on eBay and CCP can go **** themsleves sideways with their EULA. I'm getting back however much I can from the -ú160 I've invested into this games over the past 8 months, and my 20 million SP character can biomass for all I care. See you all 1.9, If I can be ****** to create a new character again, which I probably won't; infact, I seriously doubt DUST514 will survive the next 3 month period between the next patch."

"**** game. So boring."

"Wow, horray for the cool new stuff, but in turn the game will now be further broken"

"and you wonder why dust is failing so badly"

"programmers you are ******"

Yep, nice to know my mocking of the ragers is what's ruining the game.
