So much this.
RDV takes three minutes to drop my tank? Great job CCP, glad to see that that hasn't changed in the months I took off.
Absolutely horrid FPS on certain maps, and yet those maps stay in the rotation because otherwise there would be even less content to use.
In the year since they announced legion, there have been no substantial improvements to the performance of the game, it is still shoddy as hell. What they have done is add a metric ton of monetization options because making more money off of people who don't know their track record is the definition of success for CCP.
Until this game can maintain a solid 30 FPS for every map, it will always be little more than a joke. I only fire up dust to boot around with my friends and slowly dwindle my supplies of officer weapons.
CCP can dream all they want, and the CPM can whisper hype all they dare, but as long as the performance of the game is so horrid it will never have a hope of growing.
Why would you play infantry in Dust when you can get much better gameplay in any number of other shooters, even older ones?

Do you really think, the freebie nolifer LOLVETS improve this game? No it's the people who spend money on it.
I agree, that CCP has serious management issues, and the recent turn to no promises, deliver when ready aproach, is a very welcome one.
This game is in development stasis. We will see tweaks and small improvements, but no major content updates. These will be saved for a platform move if that comes.
If you want to help the game, make the new player experience better. This is mainly for CCP to do, seperation the LOLVETS from the academy graduates is key here. I would also apreciate a non proto gamemode for high sp characters, because not everybody can/wants to play PC to have a lolwallet like you guys do.
Going 45/0 in a pub only shows your scrubbiness and not your skills...
People who are interested in good games don't stomp, but I think talking to a wall makes more sense than talking to LOLVETS!
The LOLVETS you refer to were putting money into this game when it was in closed beta. Then Uprising dropped and we realized that we had been lied to for months. Many quit, some stuck it out, and continued to invest in the future and hope for the best. Fast forward to Fanfest '14, and we get to find out that Dust is dead, and a new game has been where our money was going instead of towards making Dust no crap.
The monetization options were needed, but only because the game itself wasn't good enough to make people invest money, and the future hope, well CCP went out of their way to dash that.
With Shanghai split between three projects, no one should be hoping for serious quality improvements in Dust, so they are relying on the ignorant to invest in their BS. Given how sloppy the game is, why would someone who is new invest in it? What incentive do they have to look a dust as it is, and say that this game is going places when it still has all the same performance problems as it did two years ago?
