1) Time. Assembling squads/waiting for match are absolutely a non-reality for me if i want to spend any time at all actually playing DUST.
Time is also the primary reason i run solo, tbh. Even running solo i'm good for may be 2-4 matches a day. Waiting between matches while peeps do the things they gotta do makes me crazy and i eventually quit the squad.
2) Framerate/Lag. After logging in 20-45 minutes before a PC match, having teams assembled, waiting for match start(praying that the other side doesn't noshow, praying we don't get too many disconnects), loading into warbarge, waiting somemore, loading into a match and .....slideshow. Unplayable lag.
3) Same old gamemode.
4) Ridiculous teleporting Genolution clone packs made geography, neighbors, local politics, local defense pacts/betrayals....all meaningless/nonexistent and not worth investing my time in, tbh.
5) Facing the same corps repeatedly. PC excludes many smaller corps so you end up facing the same corps ad infinitum, and the same peeps ad infinitum - sometimes you/they ring for them/you, sometime they/you ring for you/them. Tankers especially.
The upside, in the old days, was that you were facing quality players. Smart, tough, ruthless and powerful - just the way DUST should be.
6) Flat-out resentment. After CCP neglect of PC allowed PC ISK to ruin the rest of the game(it still is), i wanted nothing more to do with it.
7) Irrelevance to New Eden. Irrelevance to EVE. Why do you think i'm here devoting my time to this game, CCP?
ISK was never an issue - my memory of payout was something like an average of 2 million per match, was enough to run a profit running full proto. Additionally most corps will help players out iskwise.
The high-grade competition was always a positive, not a negative. Was maddening and heartbreaking when what should have been a glorious fight turned into a time-wasting slideshow.

That's a great point.
To be proposing revisions/game design fixes to PC at this stage is basically begging for failure. Give us proper command hierarchy comms, a squad HUD transparency and a reliably playable frame rate if you want peeps to invest in PC, CCP.
