This looks like someone wrote this 8 months ago. Didn't put a single person who has been active and relevant as of late. +1 for trying though.

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.

reading is fundamental!

"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."

Seriously? no mention of cubs and soul arguably the two best FC's in the game. This list a joke.

Another poor list of "most memorable" people in DUST. Zionshad? REALLY??!!!! lol

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.

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.

for the record 'betamax never did anything' is patently false

tis better to be silent and thought a fool.

What history of Dust would start when YOU started playing? it has to encompass the game's whole history. If you don't have a clue about some of the people/events they're talking about that's your clue to listen instead of talking.

Relevance once upon a time does not mean relevance now however. Nostalgia is not the same as a meaningful contribution.

4/10 would not read again.

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?

here we go....another eon lover aying they should have had spot 1-10. give it a rest.

Overly generous.

Overly generous.

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, because it was rumored that the EU timezones were not the best for them. There were a couple TP ringers, but the majority of EON fights were fought by OTHER EON corps. 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.

2 big problems with this-
Entire corps shouldn't be counted
In my (nearly) 2 years of playing, I have never heard of Kevall Longstride

no its not. ur like most people who only see their style of play as valid and discount all others. what u call 'zerging' were valid tactics used by napoleon, hannibal, the allies at normandy and the sioux at lil bighorn. but of course those tacticians probably pale in comparison to ur genius

CCP rewarded the small, elite corp by not allowing larger groups to bring their numbers to bear, but acting like a numbers advantage is somehow less valid than a skill one is silly.

wrong. dotlan consistently showed that PRO was the largest corp....and Zion TCD was so useless they controlled Mimiror and the area above it for months. if you read you notice we also cataloged how QG pioneered ringers and theres no shame in this, notice how popular it became. we dont expect you to agree with our list as you see things through ur EON tinted glasses, but as I stated before, who would you replace the people we chose with and why?

lol...they think the HOF should be the top 10 on the leaderboard. smh

Anyone who thinks leaderboards should be a criteria is also an idiot.
