Part of me thinks its their plan.

New players come into this game and just see the good parts, they overlook the bad cuz they think it's being worked on.

Vets know better. Vets talk ****. So, isn't it better to push away vets who know better than to spend their hard earned money on a product that will never come close to being finished, so that way new players who still think things could happen will stick around?

Plus since matchmaking is god awful it has the added benefit of helping out new players by slowly hedging out the vets.

If you have already crawled into a ball, why not roll into the corner?

I agree, but dust still has the potential to attract an entirely new playerbase! I had never heard of Eve until I played dust. I was on the range one day training with a shooting buddy of mine who is in my unit, and he told me about dust and all it's concepts, customization, and promise for better FPS days. In was a battlefield 3 player who hated COD for all it's rambo unrealistic gameplay, and wanted a better challenge with tactics and teamwork involved.

I logged onto dust, and haven't been able to put it down since!

I think the same goes for alot of the small dust community. That's why there's #PortDust514! They know the potential for advancement as players, but getting CCP to see it is the issue. The players know there is no better concept out there with such a rich history and lore as Dust/Eve.

If dust actually worked without all the glitches and framerate issues players would flock to it from all over! Most older FPS players love a challenge! That's why we're here now! Move it to PC or PS4, Eradicate the glitcher/modder crowd by making the perfected version pay-to-play like Eve, and watch as the playerbase of the FPS crowd flocks to it like moth's to a flame!

Keep it on PS3 and watch it die slowly...

But you would GAIN an entirely different and more committed player base, more like that of EvE, and I think that would definitely be a good move.

You'll probably be forced to leave DUST once sony cuts support anyways.

So basically you want DUST to stay here for YOU, and not for DUST's sake. Am I wrong?

You just told me I was wrong and then proceeded to list why I'm right :D

You'll be fine, you're going to be forced to upgrade whether you like or not if you want to keep playing online games anyways. Better to prepare for the inevitable than to ignore it.
