we all assume corp and alliances would transfer

All of the above if possible, but the most important ones are Faction Standing, BPOs, SP,LP & Skins

I don't expect anything to transfer.

I think if they were to port to PS4, for the health of the community, its best that everyone starts fresh. Maybe keep your ISK...maybe. SP, get rid of it. BPOs, get rid of it. The current community will be upset but we have to consider the future and the welcoming of new community members and the fairness thereof. It's a bit self handicapping to move it to PS4, everyone keeps what they've gained from PS3, thus providing a substantial skillgap between those who didn't play on PS3 and those who have. Which would leave to "Dust Gods" starting genocide on the noobs. They would leave the game and go back to Battlefront, COD, and PS2. While the same guys here in this forum now will remain, clamoring for CCP to do something to change that.

If we as a community want the livelihood of this game to be healthy by moving it to PS4, then we should consider sacrificing what we have gained to make sure everyone gets a equal standing and chance to become great in Dust. This would also point back to CCP in ways of advertising. Dust needs to be advertised on PS4 greatly. It could work in their favor as a console version of Star Citizen. Though I understand that CCP might not want to get that Gameloft "copy high profile games to gain crowds" title, it would be best since console gamers would probably make the comparisons.

As a nod to PS3 vets, maybe offer PS3 vet dropsuits or you keep your ranks. Let's just accept that PS3 Dust was a major beta test. Let's sacrifice the SP if they move to PS4.

Entitled much?
You paid for boosters in DUST, and you got the boosted earn to get that 80m SP. You're using it (assuming you still currently play), so money well spent. Money spent for immediate gratification is just that. It's not a ticket for perpetual self-entitled interests.

Take advantage while both DUST and the PS3 are still online. You did not, however, buy stock in next-gen development, no matter what you assume. Period. If CCP has the notion to give back in this "port" as a gesture of gratitude, then bonus. Otherwise, there is no reason for that assumption, or whining.

Just sayin.

It would be hilarious if they allowed people to keep their ISK but then allowed ISK transfers from EVE. Would basically make whatever amount saved up in DUST completely inconsequential.

You cant say IDGAF when you do, its contradicting.

This is a video game bruh, not a career. To welcome new players into the fold, for proper balancing, and the fresh start, yes reset it.

Ive been here four years as well. Spent money on merc packs and such. If this game will be ported to PS4, I want this game to flourish. I want new gamers to join up at its inception and have a balanced start.

What dont want is you and the try hard gang chase away new players all because you cant let go of digital experience gain. Then Dust is on a current gen console with last gen CODMW population counts.

Forgive me. I mistyped when introducing my reply. I should have written "petulant much?"

You are entitled because you are you? "I've been in DUST bla bla..." yes, yes. Same here. If time in is the measure of understanding, then you got nothing there. Unfortunate for some, time in to a video game does not equal understanding, reason, logic, consideration, or perception of reality. You bought boosters and AUR. If you've used them, then you've exhausted their value already. You have 80m SP, all the gear and, I would hope, wins to show for it in trade. Grats to you for stepping up and getting ahead ...in DUST. You have already claimed the value of the product you purchased. IF you haven't spent the AUR and boosters from the Merc Pack you bought, then what are you waiting for? Click that lil button, soldier!

Silly response is silly. imdediate, indeed. +1 for making me giggle? honest engine. You get a like.
