Too many ********/pathetic people amongst the playerbase and one major problem with CCP.

In Pubs I see people run Proto/Officer Gear whenever they see newberries but run crap gear when they see they are up against players with a decent level of skill. Then when someone suggests leveling out the playing field for Pubs so that low SP newberries could have a better playing experience the ******** come out (some don't even play the game anymore) and complain.

I am also getting tired of Veterans who are hung up on the great players of the past to such an extent that they talk **** or look down upon the great players of today. To me this is the most mind blowingly pathetic characteristic I see in way too many players. It's like listening to a bunch of old people who start off everything they say with "back in my day" and then finish their statement with some condescending ******* remark.

As for CCP, I have a big problem with how little they care about people being scammed in this game. I understand CCP is all about trying to create content for the game but allowing scamming to the degree that it is at is absolute ********. CCP could have worked to implement the same type of trading system that you see in Eve but instead they put together a very simple trading system that allows scamming which in turn brings about very negative consequences.

CCP needs to realize that many members of the playerbase are putting in the effort to better NPE so that hopefully the playerbase can grow. Anytime a newberry gets scammed, because CCP allows this and does nothing to mitigate the issue, CCP is not only harming the growth of this game but is essentially saying '**** you and your efforts' to those who are trying to better NPE.

Lag and general bugginess.

Predictability (on a related note, lol at the old vets not being fotm chasers).

Silence from CCP.

The PS4 now sitting next to my PS3 ain't gonna help.

^ All of this.

CPM2's self-servicing to date -- in combination with Rattati's silence -- hasn't exactly inspired confidence either. DUST needs better fights and better NPE. Not Assault buffs, Swarm nerfs and more vet perks. Come on, guys.

Speaking of DUST Jesus, it'd be nice to hear from the big guy every once in awhile. Even if it's only about big picture stuff. A major part of what made DUST interesting (for me, at least) was the sense that we -- the community -- had at least some
input in the shaping of the game. Today, that seems to be the CPM's job and their job alone. These guys are more inclined to push for what they want than push for what we need. So why even bother?

I'll come back to DUST when player input matters again. For me, Fallout 4 came at just the right time.

This is just a question I would like answered by the community.

My reasoning for losing interest in Dust isn't the game itself or the dev's. Sure there are things that they could fix that would make the game better but they aren't the main reason in my opinion.

The real reason is the players.

The players "worth their salt" simply follow the FOTM or let blues take bullets for them while they K/D farm. (Players currently playing. Not old n' true vets)

The players camp up high to avoid an actual fight on the point

The players spam grenades to avoid a fight.

The bad players follow the "good players" and aspire to become like them rather than their own merc

The "newer players" want help but refuse to listen

The Blues in pub matches should almost all be in a sandbox mode fighting AI because they need it

The players prefer to camp in the red line with a Rail Rifle rather than pushing out

The players quit matches after seeing the enemy team

The players go to the forums and wine about anything that can find, from Jump mods to re's and then back to alpha damage weapons.

o7 I look forward to seeing why you are/have losing/lost interest in Dust.

Right. I seen you guys totally r@pe a team 140 to 26 clones. You wonder why and your corp and many others are just stomping. Maybe once you have the point switching to basic might help the other team to engage more rather than tring to survive the next opponent.

If CCP didnt show KDR cept for end of a battle like Destiny does then that too might help but technically its already to late.

A skunk rule should apply and end the matches early if one team is dominating the field. It would quit wasteing a lot of my time. No wonder people leave a battle. Screw the game if its not gunna be fun to play unless your on the winning team. Its very very rare to find a match to have fun in and still lose the battle or win but just barely.

There are to many things that hinder positive game play.
