This is why EVE and Dust produce such rage. Nobody want to die because dying has a cost.

I have never played any other game where I cared about dying. Death means nothing in most games. This is why most games have very little risk vs. reward. This is also why most games get boring after a few months.

I couldn't care less about cost because it's all fictional, and death in DUST is far more inconsequential than in Donkey Kong. What angers me is the idea that you can spend months and months perfecting the precious individualistic playstyle that CCP advertises, and then some dweeb just rips that to shreds with an "update", and a bunch of skill-less exploiters ruin every match for everyone. Hardly anyone really minds a tough slog if there's grits and bacon at the end, almost everyone hates being lied to. This game's slo-mo bait-and-switch is a particularly tedious kind of lie.

Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

So what are you saying. Dust should stay the same forever? New weapons, suits and vehicles shouldn't be added? Stats should never change to encourage different playstyles? That would mean Dust would stagnate and become boring as hell. When the RR and CR were introduced we had to adapt. When tanks were buffed and av was nerfed we had to adapt. This patch has tons of heavies, commandos and scouts and we have to adapt. I'm not saying these changes were perfect, but they forced you to adapt or die. The battlefield is always changing in warfare. What works today won't always work tomorrow. The ever changing, never stale cycle of Dust is what keeps it exciting. COD and BF evolve very little. They provide a game where nothing ever really changes. So once you have done all there is to do, or get tired of the same thing over and over you stop playing the game and wait for the "New" version to come out even though it will have the same routine as the old version. EVE and Dust force you to adapt or become obsolete. That is why I enjoy it. Gun control is not about guns...it's about control. The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.
