I know this isn't EVE. I am not stating that AV/vehicles are balanced. I understand there is a problem with AV. I understand that you think CCP doesn't listen or know how to balance things. I understand that you may believe that another patch may not come for a year. I know that the game has problems. I am not trying to say anything about balance, timely releases, quality of released content, competence of CCP or players or anything other than the following:
EVE does have events but they don't give SP and they aren't as often as DUST.
The game was released with PVP only because they have to work out the mechanics for the base of the game before they can add things that require development time. Coding for the PS3 is notoriously difficult and optimization takes time and practice.
CCP is trying to create content for us but at the same time they need data so they can balance the game, better. DUST needs the events to help players whom feel like they can't compete and to give us something to play for. There isn't a way for players to create content for themselves like in EVE. We only want matchmaking that puts us in battles that are fair, which is boring and only adds to the complaint of a lobby shooter. We have NO choices on where to go or what to do because it is a shooter, we can only shoot each other. Anyone whom brings up crafting, mining and for the most part PVE is trolled for being scrubs and carebears.
CCP sponsored events on Twitter. The events aren't like ours but they are in the same vein and are attempts by CCP to involve the community more. We may not be connected in the way we all want to EVE and we don't have the impact we want on EVE but we are connected and we do influence EVE, a little. PC and FW have created content of both EVE and DUST and influence a small part of the game.
I am not saying you are wrong but we shouldn't just rail on them and not acknowledge what has been done and what is being done. If you thought that DUST was going to be fully flushed out in the first year or two then you are fooling yourself. We ARE breaking new grounds and we do have connectivity with EVE but it just isn't what we want or at the speed at which we want it. EVE pilots are interested and want to be involved. I point EVE pilots towards DUST OB channels or give info about PC/FW almost every day I play. What you are saying is a half-truth and if you are going to post things like this then you should at least acknowledge what we do have instead of listing what we don't have.

I think that CCP would have made more people happy with a weapon refund but that is only because many of us can't handle the fact they don't do respecs or refunds and other FPSs have trained us to be able to do what we want pretty much whenever we want. I don't agree with respecs or refunds but I do think that the suit refund was the correct thing to do because they are finishing out "core" line-up.

I don't remember posting that, can you please link where you got that from.
