You should probably look up the Sunk Costs Fallacy.

"In economics, a sunk cost is any past cost that has already been paid and cannot be recovered. For example, a business may have invested a million dollars into new hardware. This money is now gone and cannot be recovered, so it shouldnGÇÖt figure into the businessGÇÖs decision making process.

Or, letGÇÖs say you buy tickets to a concert. On the day of the event, you catch a cold. Even though you are sick, you decide to go to the concert because otherwise GÇ£you would have wasted your moneyGÇ¥.

Boom! You just fell for the sunk cost fallacy.

Sure, you spent the money already. But you canGÇÖt get it back. If you arenGÇÖt going to have a good time at the concert, you only make your life worse by going."

benandjerrys Resheph Interstellar Strategy Gallente Federation 782	Posted - 2015.09.27 00:54:00 - [1] - Quote http://evenews24.com/2015/09/24/announcing-the-amarr-championships/ Took a break and considered committing again until I read this. With no mention of the Dust 514 community I refuse to play either game any longer. We are utterly alienated from the larger playerbase in this and the Citadels that will replace the pos bonuses no one really uses will be the complete divorce altogether. Many in both communities agree sov should end on the ground. To the current Dev team good job with doing so much but yes the Lack of funding, and lack of a solid answer to the next gen... I understand that ya gotta pay the bills but no one likes it. To the community you sprung out in the NPC war in the recent Amarr event was nice but of little significance. Many here are awesome and I will always value our friendships and rivalry. Big CCP has spoken and said we aren't important. 6 years of being a loyal customer. July 29th 2012 I bought a ps3 just to activate my closed beta invite. Hundreds of dollars spent. CCP you no longer deserve my money. Tl;Dr leaving due to Big CCP not our devs or the community. Say something revalent without derailing the tread and I'll hook you up with isk/loot if I like it. ONE UNIVERSE//ONE WAR Support Dust/EvE cross content Advisor Vader's-Fist

Murder Medic Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 200	Posted - 2015.09.27 01:25:00 - [10] - Quote As someone who can't stand the mismanagement of this game, just don't biomass. I strongly doubt CCP is investing in this games future, as they're currently gambling their time and resources on Valk and mobile games. However, you never know. Better to have an account you never use until this game bites the dust then to biomass and have CCP actually do their jobs and bring the game up to speed.

Asad Thahab-Jabal Incorruptibles 188	Posted - 2015.09.27 01:28:00 - [11] - Quote CCP has no plans for Dust or a port, but yeah, Murder Medic is right... Don't biomass. Ripley Riley is on safari until Oct 9th. I will represent him until he returns.

Those things pretty much pay for themselves within the first week or so. Besides, it's not like it's an online game that gets updates or anything like that. It's just a one-off made by some guys at the studio in their free time. Amidst the blue skies A link from past to future The sheltering wings of the protector

Avallo Kantor 884	Posted - 2015.09.27 06:08:00 - [25] - Quote I really don't get the reason you are upset. A tournament for EVE online is focused on EVE online? Look EVE online has its events and DUST has its events, but they share a storyline. The Amarr event we JUST had was focused around the same lore events that the later Amarr tournament is going to focus on. Meanwhile EVE players as a whole are not getting any player-wide gifts / items for the event of the empress dying. They get to experience the story line in space, but we have to accept that DUST in it's current form has no real ability to let players run the story segment of a singular event without it being a much larger "war". We also have no idea if there -will- be anything relating DUST side once the tournament comes around, or if there will be other events to compare that we get. We may get something as well, just not a tournament that requires months of prep time. "Mind Blown" - CCP Rattati

Ah, well Ripley cannot take all of the credit for that. Breakin Stuff and Cat Merc also greatly contributed. It is my sincerest hope that we may see the shield modules that were proposed. If you want my unsolicited advice on this... Don't biomass. I can't stress this enough. Even if CCP doesn't get around to porting Dust for years, you don't want to lose the SP and name you have created for yourself. Uninstalling isn't a bad idea if Dust put a bad taste in your mouth. You don't want to play a game that you don't enjoy playing. You definitely should not want to play a game without a future. Keep in touch on the forums, on /r/Dust514, and the Dust twitter accounts. If nothing else you can see what is up with the community every now and then. Maybe reinstall in a few patches just to see what has changed. Warlords 1.4 or 1.5 would probably be a good time to rejoin Dust. With the current development time tables that would be around June 2016. Ripley Riley is on safari until Oct 9th. I will represent him until he returns.
