A good bit of that INVESTMENT was made when we were all being sold on the "10 year plan" and the "MMOFPS of New Eden".
I was trying to not be an ass and say that I am only hanging on to the thought that maybe this game will turn into something besides a lobby shooter so that I can finally let go of the feeling that CCP totally boned me and hundreds of other people with what turned out to be one failure after another until they gave up and basically said okay its not going to happen.
I have gone through tons of strongboxes and felt a bit beat in the head every time but I kept buying keys because I enjoyed opening boxes and seeing if I was going to continue to get beat over the head which I did until I reached a breaking point but I am not talking about that money. I am talking about the money that was spent on the selling point of an open market, having high enough SP to go into the end game content, having a REAL link to Eve, and many other ideas that are long gone.
There are a few ugly syndromes that could be related to why many of us stay around but I will save those for a conversation that will not get me banned. |

Walk away when it stops being fun. Its the only data CCP needs
That's how it is in many multiplayer games that have a lot of time investment like MMOs. Also it is because friends are playing as well, if friends leave so will other players. I think some players are leaving as the number of players is smaller than it was few months or weeks ago. Although, anyone that is staying are probably more invested and are part of the more hardcore fanbase so it might be harder for them to leave. Many big games hadn't released now-not until s few months though. We'll see with the onslaught of games releasing this fall. |

I hear ya, I have not given up hope. I know what we were given as a vision never unfolded, a very large portion of my money was spent in the early days to help support that vision also. I'm not going to just write dust off and forget about it, but I can walk away at any time and stop playing. If it's still around when I decide to come back , awesome, it's still holding on! If it falls apart, well, we tried..I still have Eve and get to see what else CCP has in store for the future.. I guess if you do not play Eve , and have not been around the CCP scene for years.. it might not be the same way.
I won't further spend , but I have no regrets on what I have spent. Unless they make an announcement that is a major game changer, and the future looks much brighter..then they might have my wallets attention again. |

I play because I enjoy it, and I'll probably still be playing even if I stop enjoying it, because, yes, I will feel committed due to the amount of time I've spent on Dust 514.

I'm beyond tired of pubs. Being matched with supposed veterans who don't carry uplinks, don't kill uplinks, don't shoot at red dots, don't hack points, don't bring out AV, and on and on.
But I seem to go up against teams with drop ships maintaining high ground. Tanks. Infantry moving around. Even enough left to camp on turrets.
But it's all good, I'll play tomorrow and the matchmaking will put me in the boring matches where people quit right away.
Then once every 2 weeks or so I'll get a decent match.

I'm not sure what is going on. If everyone in my squad had HAV level HP and could fire 17 weapons at once spinning around like a Death Star we wouldn't be able to overcome the lack of effort from our blues.

I've read this OP 3 times now, at a good 10 minutes apart from each attempt and I still cannot get the mindset here.
I get the state of hesitation and even fear in leaving something that one has invested considerable amounts of whatever into. I can see this in home-improvement, car repairs, relationships (how many struggle to maintain dysfunctional relationships in spite of knowing that it's just not working for no other reason of having spent "time in"!), but dude. This is a video game. Money in is entertainment out. If you're still forking out money after NOT enjoying the game, there are other problems at work here that a game forum ain't fixing.
This is entertainment. Period. Spend money to entertain much like you would subbing to NetFlix. The moment it stops entertaining, then stop spending money and take a break. Worst case? Leave. I am dumbfounded by comments like "...invested so much time and money that it would break them" and "hold myself hostage." Seriously? Who the ferk is having a mental meltdown over a f2p video game?! Sure, there are outliers where kids sit on their arse 24/7 for a few days and start twitching from dehydration, but that's not the norm and you know what I mean. Hell, my ex once freaked the hell out, cussed me then threw a bottle of water at me in a foreign country in front of 3 cops over the suggestion of mine to buy a bus ticket. My point is, there are those rare special cases that require... let's just say a unique level of expectation. Ultimately though, it's a game!
Are people so insecure that there is a need to come here on a forum trying to rally others around to take a stand against paper dragons to feel better about one's financial irresponsibility? I say irresponsibility because in order to create an emotional vacuum enough so that the feeling of guilt and obligation takes over the rational instinct to just push away when done suggests a serious lack of self-control. Who the hell is obligated to play a f2p? You spent some cash? Then burn through your in-game currency and be done with it. If it's hitting hard enough to create any sense of a hostage crisis, chances are ya probably shouldn't have put in your CC# to begin with. Msg me in game though, and I'll be more than happy to be more sympathetic. With an AUR protofit. Funny thing is, I suck at this game and would lose the loadout lol. Who CARES!?
TL/DR In the classic EvE fashion of "don't fly what you can't afford to lose" so too should it be true: "don't spend rent on entertainment."
to pull it all back to point though, seriously: I'm enjoying it. The moment I stop enjoying it is the moment I stop playing ...the game. No need for sympathies. I've spent what I've spent and have gotten my entertainment out of it---at a far better cost-to-entertainment ratio than going to a theater.
p.s. Sorry for the ranting. Just... that OP. 4rlz?

Since I started playing EVE and DUST514, I've been enjoying DUST514 more.
Also, just knowing that finally, CCP is touching Faction Warfare gives me more than enough reason to keep playing with friends and family for another year on DUST.
I'm glad DUST514 is still going. :)
