Ill start with the Pros and then do the cons and sum it all up with a nice fancy ending.

Pros-
P2P market
PVE
Bigger better battles
everything we wanted and worked for
MUCH better then dust

Cons-
On PC
yes we get everything we wanted, but on the wrong platform
possibility of hackers
All the stuff people be saying

The list of cons is a bit underdeveloped. Three of the points are almost the same point.

Dust moving to PC was inevitable, some of the community is just in denial. CCP has been successful on pc, so their taking Dust where they can make it a success. Most of the rage since fanfest is the manner in which the move was communicated. It was just plain weird and a little dodgy.

I'm not sure I'll be there for legion. I stopped being a Pc gamer a long time ago. Haven't even owned a full desktop computer since those days. I just enjoy the casual nature of console gaming these days. But I really want to play in the universe of new Eden as my mercenary clone. It's a tough one, we'll see.

In the end this is where Dust needs to go if its going to be successful. I havn't phoned Sony for a refund of $50, and i won't. I will continue playing Dust 514 as long as i can. Im going to leave you with a question, If you truly love this game and want it to succeed, would you get a refund, or quit? Would you stop buying stuff and funding the future of YOUR game? Would you trash the developers for making your dream come true? As i think BAMM HAVOC said "We are Legion" Back to BF1943, only 3 more ranks to go till at the top!

For CCP's sake Legion can't get here soon enough
Mojo XXXIII Abandoned Privilege Top Men. 286	Posted - 2014.05.06 22:50:00 - [3] - Quote I will continue to play on PS3 for as long as the friends that I play with still do. I have not and will not ask for a refund for any money I've spent. However, I will not spend any more money on it, nor will I follow it to the PC. If by "bash the developers for making my dream come true" you mean "will I continue to provide my honest opinions on the forums, regarding both the game and the behaviour of it's developers, while thowing out the occassional troll here and there, just for fun", then yes, I suppose I will, at least until I get bored of doing so and move on to something else.

Michael Arck Onuoto Uakan Huogaatsu Lokun Listamenn 4335	Posted - 2014.05.06 23:43:00 - [7] - Quote While it seems unfortunate at first that its leaving PS3, I have to remind myself that PS3 is already years behind and will soon be dropped as Sony pushes for PS4. Yes, I will continue supporting this game and playing it. I want it to succeed because I have always been fascinated by EVE and what CCP has done. Having a great time in New Eden. CCP is an unorthodox developer. That can be good or bad. But I respect that they do what so many other development companies don't. They take chances. They try new ideas. They don't stick to a formula success plans like so many other dev companies that continue to push out the same product. The only other dev company that I can think of that does their own thing without too much fucks given is Bungie. And I respect both development companies for their pursuits. When it comes to refunds, for me I see no need. I got what I paid for. And if I want some more AUR, I will buy some again. I'm funding my entertainment factor. That has always been the case since I bought my first Merc pack from the PSN. I will buy more if I choose and I don't care. It's my money. So the bottom line? Yes, it was quite poor the way CCP introduce it. We expected the next revolution of Dust and we got Legion. Yea that was bad. But is it enough to make me go apeshit? No not at all. I'm over it. And the truth is, I like CCP for their vision and their resilience. I haven't watched closely but I have watched enough to see that they keep trucking on even if they fumble. I respect that. So no, I won't trash them. I will support them the best way I can, either applauding them when its right or constructively criticizing when I feel its wrong. And man, that's why I like Bamm. I can respect his opinions. He expressed his concerns and hurt about it but then he ended it with words of wisdom. Something along the lines of, if Legion means that we would get a fully realized Dust, then all hail Legion. My sentiments exactly. The King is dead, all hail the King! Hnolai ki tuul, ti sei oni a tiu. Are you OUKH?

It's unavoidable unless these game companies spend copious amounts of money on preventing it. They can spend much less money putting in decent prevention, and simply banning the more clever ones they do find. There has never been a single FPS game on the PC that did not have people hacking it. Which is why in most cases the console is dominate in the FPS genre.
Badgerr Rager Ahrendee Mercenaries Dirt Nap Squad. 794	Posted - 2014.05.06 23:51:00 - [9] - Quote Fuuuck CCP. They are the biggest diiicks around for doing this to all of us. The reason why we play this game is because it is on the PS3. And yes the PC is a way to build the game but not Test it. There are hackers on the computer that can do whatever they want. Gaming rigs will always have an advantage, and FUCCK YOU CCP. I would like CCP to Biomass Legion. You pieces of Sh*t
Junko Mori WarRavens Final Resolution. 19	Posted - 2014.05.07 00:23:00 - [10] - Quote Just going to point out CCP has one of the best anti-hack methods of any company. Any and all of their games would be the best in the world for anti-hack methods. That is all

Maken Tosch DUST University Ivy League 8385	Posted - 2014.05.07 02:06:00 - [14] - Quote Consoles get hacked as well and come with modded controllers. A little more difficult on a console, but it's doable regardless. Again, a console is technically a PC that's downsized. http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/news/a568488/dust-514-sees-no-planned-updates-scraps-survival-mode-and-vita-app.html#

Yes the spending money part probably won't happen for me. But thats because I have 6 months of Passive booster. If i didn't I'd buy some more AUR for passives since our SP totals are being carried over. And eventually I might get PC or PS4 if it goes there once Legion is a thing on PC Back to BF1943, only 3 more ranks to go till at the top! Open Beta Vet 21mil sp R.I.P Dust 514
Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Final Resolution. 1692	Posted - 2014.05.07 12:07:00 - [17] - Quote The cons are all with CCP rather than the product itself. It sucks that they even bothered to do the PS3 when it was obvious within a month of Rouge being there that it wasn't going to work as is. The downright atrocious way the information was released? Again, CCP's fault and not Legion. The 'bait and switch' thing with "laser focus on PS3", "buy Aurum today!", and the events meant to push boosters while DUST's replacement was being developed? CCP again. The pros only come down to one thing: "CCP might finally be able to do what they promised to do with DUST." In that case, that isn't a positive, it is neutral. If I tell you that the soup I have been working on for years now needs to be thrown out because it tastes like horse vomit and a stew be made instead of a soup, that isn't something we should be grateful for. If we are grateful for CCP finally throwing away the shackles of PS3, we are basically saying we are glad that CCP is done wasting our time. So, YES, I do trash CCP for this but not Legion itself. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

Would you stop buying stuff and funding the future of YOUR game? Would you trash the developers for making your dream come true? Neither, me asking for a refund would not be ethical. As everything I've paid for I've used in game. I got my monies worth. Looking forward to legion. Sad that dust 514 isn't what I'd hoped. Dissappointed in CCPs choice of reveal. Dissappointed they felt they needed to anger so many people. If CCP releases a quality product I will purchase and play it. Simples.
