I would still say no, it would still create and unfair advantage in gaming

Go play EVE online pleb, we don't need your elitist ways here!

A subscription would have been much better than some of the items we have - APEX / Jara
And if it was just handing out gear/vanity items they would give you the same advantage.
I have never noticed CCP look into implementing subscriptions for Dust, so it seems unlikely
Whether it's because they can't/won't or just don't want to sell a work in progress they have not done it

If they want to make a regular income from a 'subscription' I would try another route
and rent servers to corps, where they can alter map rotation/gamemode and whether it's open to public or not
A private game would allow you more choices with gamemode etc but reward no SP/ISK
Where leaving it on standard settings allows it to be a pub server..
It would need work but it - Provides content - Provides $$$ for CCP

I'd much rather scotty was fired and we had server options as in MGS4 and Battlefield.
There would be all of the active pubs visible on a contracts menu, then highlight the altered modes
We choose where to deploy, possibly be shown the ping along with player count and even average 'meta'

If one of you can work this into a solid proposal, be my guest

CCP won't care either way, but, we can dream

Those are good examples because they DON'T tell you who's subbed.

If you were to make it where their forum avatar was special because of the subscription,that's when the 'listen to me i paid money' attitude begins.

However as i said before (which you obviously ignored).

In-game benefits are fine.
Out of game,such as the forums, would lead to an entitled attitude.

I said this would be a good idea.
And believe,if bundled right,could make CCP more money.

Like X free instant boosts for a X month subscription.

Lol.

You sure do have a lot of "..." in your post,it shows your doubtful.

Have you been on these forums long?
Because before the FF 'announcement' there were players trying to get the forums separated based on AUR purchases.

In game is where i will draw my line.
Increased fittings? Sure
Faster loyalty points gain (FW)? Ok
Faster loyalty rank increase? Mm hmm
Faster sp gain?Alright
Unique areas besides the MQ to hang out in? Go for it

Forums' changes? Hell to the no.
It would be taken as an automatic 'listen to me,and ignore the poor guy' when it comes to suggestions and ideas and would negatively influence all future ideas put forward by the community.

You want to see an example?
Look at PC,all the 1337 corps clique up and no one else has a chance.

That is exactly what these forums will become if changes like those are made.

*Starts music*


-or-
Players care enough about newer players to prevent Dust from jumping in front of a train.

Advantages are fine,advantages that drive away noobs are not,and does nothing but lower CCPs revenue income.


You can only bite the hand that feeds you so many times before it closes.(unless they're paying you to bite them)



An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.




Tl;Dr FREEEEEDOM and equality

Just so you know, Dust is not in a very good position right now to go into a subscription model gameplay wise. It doesn't have what Eve Online has that makes it worth the extra cost of continuing to play it.

Also, moving this to a subscription model, even if offered as an option, might cause Dust to lose its exemption status offered to free-to-play games for the PS4 (should Dust ever port over to that platform). PS4 currently requires all online multiplayer games to have a PlayStation+ subscription. However, free-to-play games like Dust would be exempt from requirement. If your idea is ever implemented, I don't know for sure if Dust would still have that status or if Sony would remove that exempt status.

what black market do you buy your 30day boosters from there like 21000 aur each yourf 15 dollar "merc pack" is worth like 50 bucks
