Allow me to ask you this...If you continue to watch a Television Series and you are very much a fan of this show, You (as a consumer) want to be entertained (Mentally, Emotionally or even Spiritually) every time you watch it. Enticement and anticipation grows the more engrossed you become with it because you are enjoying your time. All is well....but then it happens....they mysteriously kill someone in the show (kicked the Actor out because they were not fit for the role, work or time constraints, etc...) This baffles you; yet you keep playing over and over and over again in your head WHY?!
Why the decision to do this? No one honestly knows but the Producers/ Owners of the Show/Network which leads into leaks, speculations, rumors, so on and so forth but this down spiral persists....the original writers are gone, CGI has been dumbed down to be more accustom to the new payroll/ time-slot. But suffice it all you continue as a loyal patron buying and purchasing anything in relation to this entity. Now things start getting a little worse....Key actors are cut, the story is inconsistent, the shows vision is diminishing with each passing season and all you can still think about is....WHY?!
And here is the answer I will give you.....If YOU are not satisfied with THIS PRODUCT, you have the right as an individual to continue in supporting them. You and YOU alone have the power to switch off your T.V. or change the channel. If you continue to watch it, just to watch it...You are only dissatisfying yourself even more so, but if you stand your ground and fight to make a difference giving the Developers more constructive feedback and saying NO, when they have wronged you as a customer only then will you find freedom in your Respite.
All I'm offering you is the truth, nothing more.

"Does my idea of a boycott carry more weight than a hashtag or a one day of not playing the game?"
I understand why people want the 14th boycott and spam the forums with "port DUST" but if the idea is to inform the developers, they already know. If the idea is to push the developers into being more open, not playing the game with an inherent timeframe as to when you are going to start playing does nothing.
"Hungry strike until truth! Or, you know, until the pizza shop opens."
You're absolutely right about 1 day being meaningless, but you aren't thinking fully about what that one day has done to MANY. If there are "in total" 3,000 players (as of now) and you influenced 1 out of 10 of them, cycles continue. Especially when there is weight to it, one person may have been swayed by anothers actions or words or perhaps those words continue to dwell in that individual's mindset, for perhaps days, weeks or months until they have finally declared enough, is enough.
Again, I will reiterate words are meaningless, without weight. Or should I say, without influence.

That is ~2,300 players logged on at once. These are significantly different.
I would expect the actual number of individual players playing DUST on any given day to be orders of magnitude higher, and the actual active playerbase greater still (not everyone logs in every day).
A handful of forumites declaring a strike boycott is not going to make anything like a noticeable dent in these numbers.
True, but again without influence none of this will matter. Take for example the day CCP announced at Fanfest 2014 the future of DUST 514 into Project:Legion. That decision alone was only comparable to a Seismic Wave (Surface Wave) that shook throughout all of New Eden into Social Media. When key individuals left this game as well, it only seared more into their decision that you CANNOT expect a community to blindly follow you without Just. That is influence, at it's finest.

How, exactly, do you think this 'boycott' will help in any way, shape, or form? It's hardly going to be influential except to discourage devs even further from interacting with people. Quote:

I honestly have no idea what this ranting about 'Just' is? Could you clarify? Your post is somewhat incomprehensible.
I have done all that I needed to do, my words are meaningless at this point in time, I will not argue with your or try to sway your decision in anyway. But I will say one thing, do not be fooled by those who deem themselves as your Saviors, open your eyes and really look, I mean really look. Look passed the ISK you have accumulated, your Valor/Spoils you have earned and look at this as a Customer, nay a Gamer. Do you believe it is fair how they have treated not only this community but you as a customer throughout the lifespan of this game? If favorable, then again I will not bother nor pester you with counter arguments, but if you were in fact disappointed only look at yourself and ask why am I still here? Unless I myself contribute in any way shape or form.
Oh and one more thing....
Just: "based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair."
