DUST Search - How do the vets do it?

Serious question. For those who have 30+ million SP, how do you keep playing, what keeps you going?

I love this game, and I've gotten quite a bit of enjoyment out of it in the past 9 months or so, but at just over 26 million SP, I'm having a lot of trouble getting up the desire to log in anymore. I've still got a few things to acquire that I want, getting that proto SMG and such and getting the skills up on that, but other than that, there's... not really much. A few things I sort of want, but nothing major. Maybe it's just the fact that I came over to this from Battlefield and I can't get any enjoyment out of the vehicles. Seriously, ADS's are boring to fly, it's more enjoyable for me to gun or fly for gunners, and tanks... ugh... I used to enjoy tanks, now... not so much. Maybe it was just the fact that they were risky to use and there weren't many good tankers, but the tanks now are just really meh.

So, again, for those with relatively high levels of SP, what keeps you playing on the same maps against the same people over and over again? I'd like to find more ways to enjoy the game in between patches, but at the moment, I've got nothing.

I wallow in pools of blood and wash myself anew, I throw away my ugly self in order to become something beautiful...

I'm not a 30 million vet yet because I've never bothered capping once in my life, and that might be why I'm not top-grade, but... @ 21 million here. NOTHING MORE FUN IN LIFE THAN MELTING HEAVIES WITH PLC!!!! Yup. Cloak, and drop a PLC blast on them. Free hate mail !

The other day i had a scout chasing me around all match, cloaked with a PLC. He never actually direct hit me, but got damn close a couple times. Puckered my butthole a few time, not even gonna lie. It kept me on my guard tho, and that match turned out to be one of my best matches in weeks. I was laughing the whole time. This game is what you make of it.. Why thank you! And people like this with a sixth sense and/or a good eye to scan for cloaked scouts keeps ME on an edge, always looking out for "attentive" enemies, because I must best be cautious around them. Especially some of those darned heavies, jumping off the ground just as my PLC blast reaches their feet. GRRRR. It doesn't matter, I suppose. The feeling of hate and enmity we possess between our classes are mutual. After all, we scouts hate being shredded to pieces in a few seconds and heavies hate being OHK'd or rapidly eliminated by cloak shotgun scouts. I suppose what everyone hates--OH Nova Knife Kills. Oh boy. Skilled NF'ers I give SERIOUS respect. Honestly, that takes some serious skill. And they do it so damn fast too...
