Dust is enjoyable because of the lawless insanity that it fosters, not in spite of it. If you want a game where blues are blue and reds are red, there are hundreds of other options out there. If you want a game where literally anyone can stab you in the back for any reason (or no reason at all) your options are pretty limited.
If you take a video game too seriously, you will have a bad time. If your friend can't handle this kind of gameplay, he was right to quit playing... the game is not for him. As small as Dust's playerbase is, people should play the games they enjoy, not the ones that frustrate them.
If you really want to have fun in Dust, get creative. Don't treat it as a shooter, treat it as a spy game. Infiltrate someone else's corp, spy on them, earn their trust. It's a challenge because you have to fool real people, who have every reason not to trust you... sometimes you win, and sometimes you'll lose. It's an amazing thing to stomp other players in proto gear, paid for by isk you stole from them.
If that doesn't sound like fun to you, follow your friends lead and find a new game. Find something fun for you. |

That's where you have it wrong, it's not the game frustrating him, it's you, the people. He loved playing Dust and was a very active player but simply got tired of people ruining it for him. And you're saying that you like this game simply because it allows room for you to ruin it for others? That sounds very sadistic, do you think you are?
I like ruining video games for people who take video games too seriously, yes. It encourages them to do something other than take video games too seriously.
This is a shooter. The game centers around killing each other. Shooting a blue is no more sadistic than shooting a red; it just creates more interesting results. Again, if you want a game that's completely black and white as far as friend/foe, you have options. Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo, Destiny will be out soon...
CCP killed this game. Teamkillers made this game interesting. |
