This is not a condemnation of CCP because I understand businesses and there structure seeing as how I studied these things , nor am I complaining or trying to garner some sort of movement but just trying to understand if I'm just feeling this way or not and the fact that I actually care about Dust 514 and the well being of this game and it's participants that I make this or ask the question ... has it gotten to you ?

I play this game , not much because I don't have the free time that I had when I first found this and while playing and having to have to go threw the changes , not talking about how conditions are now but pre FF 2013 when things were prob in the beginning of what eventually lead up to the point were at now and things like vehicle designs were changed and you didn't have much of a selection in the dept of assault rifles and such and people weren't using RE's as grenades and you didn't see jihad jeepers , nether did you have a selection of heavies .

This game has changed in a short amount of time and I'm not complaining or saying that this went wrong but the implement of strong boxes and the fact that a key cost 800 aurum , is bothering me and taking away my feeling for playing this game .

I spend money like most of you and it just seems to be a moot point when most run around in fitted suits that while yes , they cost them real money ... they can fight and die 30 times and not have to pay a single ISK , I see them and I have to kill them but in my mind I just feel like it didn't even count and if I die I would be more likely to feel it and it's not a case of , " well get your own . " ... because there are those who have every fitting , all the load outs and BPO's including vehicle's , so it just not that simple .

It just seems to looses purpose and effects those who can't match that even a bit , or like I said ... " Maybe it's just me ." I just know that while I sit broke , these same people are racking in the ISK's hand over fist and if there opening strongboxes , there making even more of a killing and stretching the distance between themselves and the average players and it's not always instinct and skill that define this advantage .

It's just seeming like it's more about what's in your wallet then what's left on the field and that's what's bothering me at the moment .

I'm not trying to bash CCP like I said but it could get a little out of control if you allow it and right now it just seemed like too much was done without considerations to the changes in the environment .

I'm not knocking those who purchase BPO's but it does have an effect on the economy ( say that there's not one if you like but to me there is ) and it does matter when your faced against such .

Kind of makes the kills worthless because it's not effecting you like it does the whole economy .

All these BPO suits look exactly like what was shown for Legion.

I wasn't a huge fan of it then, still am not now.

I liked the way it was, some BPO's, everything else get's paid for. It fit the New Eden motif. Now, it's just "LULZ, the cost don't matter, INTO THE FIRE!"

I enjoyed killing the proto suits with a militia suit. I understand monetizing the BPOs to get money out of a F2P game, but if the BPO scenario we have now... if that becomes the entire gameplay... I don't know, I might stop playing.

Yes and I like that about what they did because they could have just done crappy fits but they listened to what the people wanted and tailored it to that .

That's a good thing but like I said , those kills just seem blank because my pocket is shrinking while there's is expanding .

Only thing that's suffering is KDR .

Gives me something to aim for!

And once I've gotten, why, I'll start all over again!

It's a shame how trivial some people can be and let some character effect them to the point where they have to insult them at any chance they get or bash someone's idea like they were some type of child , the level of disrespect of some people doesn't surprise me , I live in America and have traveled in my time but it's the age we live in .

Respect is a forgone thing now a days .

I blame the internet .

And society .

He is looking for a shorter version

You know what, you're all giant vaginas. You want a real mans soup, go for THIS!

He was talking about Earl Grey, earlier, so I assume it's that.

I've not tried the brand personally. I know a lot of people who have, but it's not something I've ever gotten into.

This thread actually kinda disappoints me. Guy brings up a legitimate issue and the only response is to derail the entire thing by talking about soup.

Maybe it's unrelated but I think about this, and the CPM votes, and I kinda get the impression that maybe the community just doesn't give a [kitten] about this game anymore.

Twinings has some great English and Irish Breakfast brews.

Don't tell me the store bought kind .?. man , they say that stuff can kill ya .

BBS , bout to go play Dust .

Everything will fix it's self out I guess , just wanted to talk about something was on my mind .
