Tbh it died when the nerf bat was brought out. I'd love to see the participation levels before and after Ratatti's involvement. I know of many that quit after the frog legs and heavy nerf. And even more after they realized what was really going on. I've said it since he joined on platforms like fb and twitter cause I didn't want to loose my account here, I said he was brought in to kill this game. I don't care anymore. I don't care when it comes to him. Many love him and that's cool cause not everyone will ever love the same person. I have stated on here that they did do the nerf/buff so people would have to pay money for skill resets and boosters. For me and many others it rubbed us the wrong way. You spend mass hours playing this to get spec'd into something just to see it nerfed. Why play or spend $$$ if you're just going to have to go do it all over again. Then why so much love for him on here? Easy answer to that, only his supporters speak up because he banned anyone who did speak up against him. Trust me, I was banned from the fb page for criticizing him there. I don't dislike the guy other than he was sent to kill this game by taking a dump on vets from beta by nerfing what was worked for. I know I'm about to get hate but idc, and why should I. Is what any of you gonna say going to make me not be that man I'm in life? Nope. Will my rant bring back this game, nope but someone needs to say it. I hear salty vet, but try spending money on boosters just to see what you specd into get the nerf swing. Or worse when people like me that didn't spend a huge amount but spent many hours working towards a goal to get the finger from the Rat. I'll also say this to the get good crowd, get good and play other games. Mostly it seems to be "master" race players on here these days and that's cool. Everyone knows pc is for people who can't play and need mods and "hacks" to complete. I got a PC with games but only play single player because every single game I've played online is filled with so many cheats that if you don't cheat then it's not worth playing. So the master hacks are happy cause instead of lav glitch they can just flood the servers and crash the whole thing or just use the god mode which every pc game has it seems. Salty Vet Out.

I personally highly dislike all the nerf/buff stuff that CCP does in EvE and apparently it was done here in Dust as well. Believe me, Dust has not been the only game that has suffered this way. But it's probably more critical given the fact that people pay AUR to get boosters and then have their skills made pointless. I've said in EvE and I will say it here - NOTHING should be nerfed. Only minimal buffs should ever be made to anything, in the interests of either balancing the game or making it a little more interesting. Nerfing is simply destructive but CCP is so used to doing it they don't see the problem with it. Nerfs are revolutionary - they reset the rules. Buffs on the other case are fundamentally evolutionary in nature. If this were real life, minimal buffs would be the order of the day. Everything always gets a little better with time, experience, research. Minimal, even tiny buffs are the way to make sure the game keeps progressing while never destroying the efforts of players who've invested time and money into their skills.
