It is my understanding DUST has always had a small active player base, even though it is free to play on a platform that millions own.
The vast majority have downloaded it, played it, and quickly moved on to other games.
Even within our own forum community, which is a microcosm and fraction of the actual miniscule player community, players are much more likely to post a negative comment than a positive one.
Personally, I had never played a FPS online before DUST. At first I was terrible, now I merely suck at it. Yet, here I am still playing. I was never here when there was a promise of something better to come, I just play because, well, I don't know why. And that is my point...
Why do you play DUST? Why didn't you quit after you got your arse handed to you when you were new like most all who came before you? Why not after the bugs that never got fixed? Why not after Fanfest 2014?
Do not post that there is nothing better out right now to play. The majority of gamers worldwide obviously disagree because they play those games and yet here you are still playing DUST. So you, we, are different.
Is it a certain personality type that sticks with this game? We are a strange lot, to be sure, since we are so few in number.
So I ask you, why do you play DUST? I feel your personal answer can tell you a bit about yourself.
Me? I'm just fuking crazy.
I read out of that, that you assume we all had to go through the same torture. I think youre wrong in that respect: The first players that came into Dust, way before it was released, never had the trouble we went through. They had a level playing field at the start, that got distorted more and more over the time (because SP, ISK and experience gap). So there are some that reaped high returns later for little frustrations at the start. The later you joined, the more perverse the frustrations got, the less returns you got. That is why Dust failed. That is why Dust was and is fundamentally unfair and all in all not a good MMO game. It is very rewarding for about 500 people (40 Kills / 0 Deaths, that is not just skill, dont fool yourselves), the rest are just comparably clever Mobs for them to farm.
I joined after relase with uprising 1.0. and there where already huge gaps there. So Dust as it is (not as it was supposed to be) was set to fail from the start.
Why I played so long and still play? I know it is unfair, I know everything is set against me. But WHEN I succeed, I am the King of the world :D And I love to hate it and love to rage about it. Its an emotional rollercoaster. But when I am comparing it to Eve, Eve is the better game, no question about it. There are emotional spikes, it is hard, but you are free and feel the progress. Dust is just WAR! HUH! ...
The answer to your complaint is PvE. Always.
