It's not an excuse, it's an opinion. You want to call me a fanboy for showing this company some respect and having the patience for letting them to do their job, fine, whatever makes you feel good. Now go make a KDR thread or something.

Exactly what crazy space said. I am fine with waiting for the other stuff, but the whole reason I came to DUST was for the social aspect. Just let players form corps, do clan deploys into battle, and schedule their own corp matches. I guarentee the time will go by much more quickly if they were to do that and let us go at each other.

Its not so much the other things that annoys me as the fact that they don't seem to even be looking at a clan deploying an entire team instead of 4 friends grouping up together and playing. The minimum they could do is give us group deploy with up to 12 players.

In New Eden, profit is King. As it stands it would make more sense for a Duster to grind npc drones with no significant financial loss than it would to pick up my Mass Driver and lob grenades at the Amarr Militia. One is pure profit, the other is at least occasional losses and consistently lower payouts because of asset loss. They will create a new care-bear scourge. Especially in light of the fact that they keep pointing out that payouts on matches will decrease and asset cost will increase.

I am seriously the only person that see's a problem here?

A seasoned industrialist like myself would most likely setup a colony on every planet type needed to harvest all the materials required as creating a single POS literally requires constructing almost every P4 material in the list. I would then dedicate a single planet for refining said materials (one more production planet if needed).
