If this was Splatoon where it takes 10 seconds to get players into a match, and each match isn't a 20 minute Domination stomp...then maybe I'd actually be playing Dust right now.
During the slower times late at night when I have time to play, there should really be an 8v8 game mode or something with smaller maps.
Until then, not being able to use my warbarge passively means I would be logging in less regularly, which means an even smaller chance of me taking the time to play a match or two while I'm on.
It would then boil down to "do I have 2 hours to set aside tonight to claim my warbarge stuff? No? Well I guess I'm gonna play Splatoon instead"
Just logged out, could find a decent match. Had one good tank battle, would have liked to squad up with them later. Three losers that had little chance of pulling out a win, we were low on blues, slow on the point and I was slightly late to the good one (tank battle) while the blues didn't seem to have a focus. Such is Dust.
Off to die in Dark Souls, and MOG.
My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.

While well thought out it is about as wrong headed as it can be. Sorry, @Jadek Menaheim, adding another level of You Must Do This, In This Order to a F2P game is not going to help. Indeed, it will most likely hurt. Implement these suggestions and I will leave for another six months, and to think I just got past 100 days back. 
You don't like others farming? Farming is the very essence of New Eden. It certainly is in EVE Online, although they call it mining, a trivial difference. Dust has three character slots. I used to play all three of mine. But not now. Because boring. Not to mention expensive, both in ISK/SP and my own personal time. Dust's entire phraseology comes from EVE Online; toons, alts, etc. are all came from EVE (at least they are here in New Eden). Dust is a grinder. There is no way around it. SP is too precious and takes forever to acquire once you start needing a few million to make an actual upgrade.
These oft repeated proposals recently are focused on finding a way to force players to A: play, B: stay in a losing battle, C: be punished for not playing the way the poster wants to them to play.
Maybe this makes it clear, "It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told." Didn't end well for Buffalo Bill either.
We need to make this fun. Not spend more efforts on removing fun from the game.
Less fun = less players. Or players leaving, whatever, the result is the same.
