Yeah... but for some people it's more about the equipment. I'm not sure what Militia status means, but if it means that if you play for the opposing side then you lose about 200 standings for the other side, then I'm all for that. Yes but its not even about lore or equipment...... Its about the loyalty aspect. You shouldnt be able to buy anything from the loyalty stores without significant investment of time and effort into a faction... Its a model like this that wholly undermines the premise of FW and bring Dusts farmer culture to whole new levels of scrubbiness..... Can you elaborate, there are obviously lots of feelings involved but I don't get the exact point.
He like many of the Amarr loyalists in this game is disappointed with the incredible lack of content the Amarr have in this game. Two rifles, One pistol, Four suits, No vehicles, No turrets, No heavy weapons, No AV weapons, One equipment, an underwhelming LP store. These aren't things that you can necessarily fix, but 1.8's "racial parity achieved" rings particularly hollow when some races are starving for content.
I understand that most of the devs have been pulled to work on legion, but if you are *ever* in a meeting with them, please, *please* bring up patching dust with whatever weapons / vehicles / maps they have so there's some actual live play data. A large portion of the playerbases problem with CCP is their constant 'dropping' of projects after introduction, leaving the playerbase with stuff that is unfinished, buggy, or quite clearly broken - something that the current dev team in eve has spent two years trying to fix (and they've barely scratched the surface). Current examples in dust include dropship skill stacking and the current state of the amarr scout (plenty of feedback was given before the patch ever went live and it was ignored) I heard that the World of Darkness game hit alpha three(four?) separate times but was repeatedly scrapped by management.
You've done a lot better in actually listening to the playerbase, but ultimately we're still left with a half-finished game that's in desperate need of actual content. |

That's a symptom, not the problem itself. The actual problem has several layers : 1) The LP payouts are kind of terrible (this is getting a bit better) and losses mean you've wasted your time 2) The LP store is disproportionately expensive compared to isk and severely lacking in content and 3) Faction warfare is only really easy to win if you're either fighting nobodies, or you've got a minimum of two squads (containing four people each).
Treat the problems, not the symptom. |
