And , I don't think anyone is holding on because of inestment. I certainly am not.. I am holding back on spending more , as I invested a good bit. It was easy as hell for me to go away for a year. I have done the same with Eve , which I was kinda still am as the character doesn't just vanish.. since 2006.

I stay around, because I enjoy the setting we are in, the gameplay can actually be quite fun if you let it, and sometimes you just need to be around a bunch of other asshat ego trippin douchebags to not feel like such an azz yourself Pirate

Long live CCP , long live Eve Online , and may Dust forever grow with them!!!

I can tell you that at this point I am only still here for two reasons:

1) the friends I have made that have actually stuck around.

2) the absolutely STUPID amount of time and money I have dumped into this game. Honestly I feel like as long as I keep playing then all of that remains validated so I am not an idiot.

I was actually just thinking about how the changes to PC are useless because we have such a terrible player base. No matter what changes are made a small group of people will always run it. This is due to the fact that no one has the ability to recruit PC ready players as there just are not any aside from the try hards who just run to the corp of the week.

I have dropped easily a minimum of $200 on this game, but I am not going to allow myself to be a prisoner of that number. I have spent many hours and yet, I no longer hold myself hostage to that. Dust is quite high on the delete list if I ever need any space on the drive. I hope that people are not still playing because they feel obligated to. No matter what the reason, if you are feeling obligated to play the game due to investments, you are no longer having fun. Walk away when it stops being fun. Its the only data CCP needs We have no one to blame for the poor state of the game except ourselves(and Rattati for listening)

I would love to know how people know this. CCP can make the statement "there are X many accounts made weekly" but if those accounts never play more than 10 games, they are not new players. Jeez, people have even been known to farm the academy. "This is B.S! This is B.S! I paid money! Cash money, dollars money, cash money!"

elric the enchanter xCosmic Voidx 425	Posted - 2015.04.27 09:20:00 - [7] - Quote Not played in weeks and nothing I've seen yet has inspired me to return - except to maybe catch up with a few friends who still remain. It's been great to be having fun on other games again, although will miss the really close matches of old and the many failed q-synchs resulting in hilarious civil wars when we regularly had enough players on. This game actually inspired me to begin recording/editing and enjoyed it immensely. But even that stopped a while back as the matches worth recording became too rare. At least we can look back at those and reminisce, so no regrets. Note - yes I'm still forum-lurking as still want this game (or whatever iteration of it may rise from the ashes) to succeed and continue to be a part of it.

This is the only video game I play, Once it ends I will not play another again.... Most other games release a new game every year where your stats are wiped. Not this one, but it really does feel like I'm just playing because of the -ú300+ I've invested since June/July 2012. I had more fun during closed beta when you would DC every 10-20 minutes (I was gunna list a load of other bugs cba though lol). More and more this game is becoming a lobby shooter (Auto aim etc), plus Isk used to be alot more valuable, now with the daily missions, Experimental lab, even keys.... All adds up. It used to be if you died more than once in a pub in Proto, you would go negative no matter what asset wise (Isk+Items).... Now (especially with trading tomorrow) You will be able to die 3/4times in Proto and still go asset positive I'm not saying I don't enjoy this game, I still do. I think I'm haunted by having the experience of it's much better (despite bugs) past. My Officer and BPOs for Sale

I just find that a bit silly, the idea of holding on because of investment.. do you keep your soda bottles and empty cheeseburger wrappers? Doubt it, so like.. you bought your entertainment , used it.. it doesn't have to hold a grip on you.

This is due to the fact that no one has the ability to recruit PC ready players as there just are not any aside from the try hards who just run to the corp of the week. Corp of the week is going to get nerfed via the Corporation Points system IMHO... You will have to stay in a corp and most likely have to pay CP points for ringers at some point in the future, otherwise try-hard corps will continue to stomp mud holes in anyone trying to get into PC and mercs have no reason to stay in corps and help train up other PC players. Ratatti has hinted several times that he recognizes that as one of the biggest flaws with Planetary Conquest, as such it would not be a great leap to expect to see restrictions and mechanics put in place to force corp loyalty and nerf the top 1% of the PC player base in order to allow the other 99% to play. It really does become a veteran retention issue, as more and more veterans get pushed out of the end game... Fac War simply doesn't provide enough of a rush or meaningful gameplay. The concern is how CCP plans on doing it because if it is made too hard to control enough districts to feel dominant then why would anyone want to do it at all? http://caughtyouflinching.ytmnd.com/

Its the only data CCP needs NO im sorry this is wrong Eve players have put more money in then you. dont think a small drop box of 200 or even 500 is alot when its 15 usd ~ for 30 days time cards are around the same and most players in eve buy some where around 20 time cards a yr or more it may be smaller but that's every yr that's income 24/7 for eve and dust 514 what im trying to say is take me im a 09 player and add in 1000 - 2000 usd in time cards only over the yrs only and then add in 09 - 15 only the last 3 months have i not been playing eve online as the fact that im using the money for other stuff as well as time for RL . the money that dust players put into this game is not as much or even pays for the game and then count on Sony taking some of that money as well. unless your one of them dum arum users in that case i can see why games like ace combat and dust 514 take FOREVER ! to get remotely done or in dust 514 fixed ! but when there's a new way to milk you for more money you Know CCP,s on it asap the next day ! its why this game should be a free add on to eve but you can only play it if you have a paying eve account ! that will clean up this junk arum and the junk arum players as well as the free to play kids who never even played eve online but think this should be like there COD SPACE game and have all the hi jumps sniper rifle no scopes noob tubes and flash vs metal the meal will die in a fire ball cuss the 14 yr old CCP now tends to want farm game off of face book only with guns .... o and wants to go back to no redline where its a game of camp the other team spawn first and i payed 20 bucks for max SP and guns and im only 1 day old ! who cares about paying game longer then 30 days why work to get skilled when i can just buy it ! vs how dust should be FPS/MMo/RPG with skilled players good in game support a fun player base full of idea,s of ways to fix and batter there game be-for asking for new maps drop suit looks . a game that works with 1st time players to build them up to join the fac and PC battle and not get pushed into buying sp but a mach maker that,s stops Q sinking and fits players into game vs there sp a game thats about skill players who know how to uses cover and how to flank THE RITE WAY ! stand a better shot at a win then ones who " let's drop up links in the open and run in the open not uses any AV as a team or stand in the door way when i try to room clear ..... i can go on but why this games dead . Yes i am a Undead Hell Wolf ... nice to meat you!
