Just assume that you're in my world of Boundless Optimism, and a port happens, may that be on PS4 or PC or whatever. What would you want to transfer over from this game to the next? ISK AUR SP LP Faction Standing DK BPOs SKINs Gear/Suits/Assets ect. What do you think would be appropriate for CCP to allow to be transferred?
Everything should transfer over. Too much time and money has been invested by the current players, some far more than others. This game wasn't built on fairness, so I'd say a "We were here first" novelty would be an insult. No other compromise should be considered, other than extending the Academy sector of gameplay until the noob reaches around 30mill-40mill SP.

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. And what about the money we spent on this "10 year plan"? Idgaf about my 80m sp or 600m isk or officer and bpo's but I do care what I bought with real money..aur/boosters..if that doesn't get refunded then I'm out..ya'll can get screwed but I won't again 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. Immediate gratification? Lol you're stupid and yes I'm entitled it's who I am...I've been in dust for almost 4 years..I'm one of the first people to play this game and you're just someone who doesn't understand anything.."imdediate" =ƒñö All I asked was for my boosters that came with the merc pack and aur returned...they can take my isk and so idgaf Just sayin 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.
Sounds like a personal problem. I'm so tired of hearing the clear disdain of players who can't compete against those who are better than them in a combat scenario, yet hide behind "what's right for the community". It's truly a pathetic ideal to hide behind. The principles that dust was created upon are not the same as COD, BF3, or Destiny.
The very topic of this thread is a derailment to the players who put time into this game, and have everything to show for it. Yet apparently this achievement is always condemned by those who can't quite reach the level of their stronger counterparts.
Instead of punishing those who stand out above the rest, maybe you should consider the meta lock alternative, separating higher tier equipment on the battlefield.
I keep seeing folks that want isk removed really bad. There really isnt a detriment to the level they are describing. It almost seems as if the folks who never made alot of isk are doing the most complaining over it forum-side. Isk is made by collectively working together. So even if they were to wipe it, those who were rich before will inevitably become rich again. Even if you completely wipe stats and benefits made over time, the weak will still lose to the strong. The best hope for the less fortunate is a meta lock.
