DUST Search - New Blog: The Dust Hall of Fame

Dusters Blog wrote:

keep in mind our intent was to create a top ten list for the HOF. with only 10 slots we wanted as little overlap as possible. we tried to grab the preeminent guy in each field with a focus on what actually happened in the game world. so we had questions like:

who was Dust's most elite player? the answer was alldin kan
who was the best alliance leader, mastermind & manipulator? kane spero
who led the field in terms of suggestions and design balance ideas w/o favoring anyone in particular? kagehoshi
what was the most elite corp? the imperfects early, but teamplayers had the most longevity.
who did the most for the community in-game? easy answer - Kevall the CEO of Dust University

We chose shottygobang for his contribution to revamping the scout and influencing the registry movment. we felt cazaderon went above and beyond in terms of service on multiple levels website, suggestions, elite gameplay, CPM and his resignation from that group will always earn high marks with us...in our opinion he is the ultimate Dust player.

then we looked at corps with longevity and the ability to constantly reinvent themselves and stay relevant. Many dont like guys like quickgloves and zionshad but they were the best at this. both also managed huge corps well and could have dominated the game if it grew. people like to insult them but CEOs like Shad, QG and CBJ were basically handicapped by CCPs decision to make the game a 16v16 shooter. had it given us the asymmetrical warfare we all wanted who knows what they could have accomplished. Especially since both TCD and STB had a lot of good players.

we were bound to leave out people many of you thought should have made the list, but ask yourself if they were more deserving than the people we chose, and most importantly...................why?

REALLY??!!!! lol For a site that's been here from the start, the list of players and corps you made shows how little knowledge, or how biased you are to people you know. Then again, right from the start this site's been a joke. I remember the list Dusters made for the top corps in the game... anyone else remember that joke? Betamax was on that list

Betamax was on that list why thank u...you realize tho, that Betamax was where guys like The Zitros, Kane Spero and other core Imperfects came from before they left to form their own group, right? owned. At the time of that "blog" imperfects were already established. So yeeeeaaaa

So yeeeeaaaa btw, I like how you log out of your Dusters Blog account to comment on this thread under this name ur completely missing the point which is: Betamax was a haven for tons of elite level players. When you say their name like they were scrubs you show your lack of knowledge. I understand not everyone was there from closed beta on. But dont disregard groups/people just because they predate you. You started watching this game in the 3rde quarter while many of us were here in the beginning. You're missing the point. Betamax did nothing in DUST, period. I don't care who was there, or who wasn't. Basing their "ranking" on who was there is a dumb logic. Betamax since beta was a none factor in MANY ways. I'm not just picking on them, but Zion was as well, none factor, yet if I'm not mistaken, was also on that top 10 corps list. Your website is nothing but biased, made up news, and generally uninformed information sir. http://dustmercs.blogspot.com/2012/12/1213-corp-power-rankings.html In case people are wondering what joke I speak of. Look at those rankings... only corp you have right is IMP, and later on PFB (8v8 corp battles). Every other corp there either ran from competition, or were beaten up by other corps not on that list. You put Zion there based on leadership??? ....let's forget actual player skill right? You should have made these ranking when PC came out, and people couldn't hide and dodge battles. Any way, that list and this current list of "Hall of Fame" players just prove that you don't know what you speak of.

Shad and CBJ would have dominated the game if it grew? Is this a joke? You're talking about zerg tactics, then a few lines later mention "allot of good players"? Zerg tactics and skill are completely different things. If they had allot of skilled players, then 16v16 would have enable them to dominate PC. Zion was already the biggest corp in the game, and they were by all means USELESS when PC came out. QG was also a joke. I remember when NF took their planet in 2 weeks, and QG hired TP to take it back. Did you forget that or was that conveniently not mentioned? The first big war, CRONOS vs EON... I don't think you realize it, but TP was busy with NF on STB's planet. During that period EON's other corps were the ones that were fighting battles against CRONOS. But I guess you didn't know that because you weren't there to see it, but like always, you make up stuff. TP, IMP, and the CEO of Dust Uni is the only thing I agree with on that list. Everything else just comes across as uneducated guesses with opinions motivating the majority of it.

EON lover? Pretty sure I talked about CRONOS as well. Just my knowledge leans more towards the winners of the war

Talking about a video game this dude brings up Napoleon... SMFH... in a 16v16 game, having thousands of players means nothing doesn't it? Yet somehow you think that Zion was "the ****" because he commanded a zerg army that did nothing but land grab at the start? Who did they fight? Who did they beat? You're rewarding QG for hiring ringers? LOOOOOOOL ... I understand rewarding FC with leading a team to victory, but hiring ringers? Sure, let's big up QG for that "tactic", because that's "skill". Thing is I'm not even hating on QG, I find him funny, but I don't hate on him. Ringers became popular because teams couldn't field a team worth a damn, or people didn't have enough because inactivity. To say otherwise is foolish. EON tinted glasses? IMO EON's era was the best era of DUST. Post 8v8 corp battles, those first wars were the best. Everything afterward was a joke. Carebear central. I'm not saying who should be on the list, as my criteria isn't the same as yours...obviously Which brings me to my next point about not making another list on these forums. Everyone has their own prejudices about who should be there...BUT this list has to be one of the funniest I've seen...QG and Zion Shad lol... needed to wipe a tear from laughing at that one.

Only in DUST you see so many people with a high KD. Trying to tell me DUST has THAT much skill? hahahaha Games like COD and BF people have avg 1-2 KD, obviously some people higher...DUST? If you don't have at least a 5KD by now you might legally be blind or mentally challenged. The game is so easy. Anyone who thinks leaderboards should be a criteria is also an idiot.
