Yup, and the trouble is it's not CCP saying adapt or die. They're asking for feedback. It's the EvEfanboys. And they've been at it for atleast 2-3 months now. They'll keep talking trash too.
But yeah, EvE people tend to over estimate the importance of EvE in the Dust. They don't realise that when Dust was first thought of, there wasn't going to be any link with EvE except the universe. No OS, no market integration. Dust is first and foremost an FPS.
EvE isn't hardcore. Firstly you get 2 lives, secondly YOU RESPAWN. That's not hardcore.
It's not just casuals it puts off. It's more annoying than the damn "My terrible KDR doesn't mean I suck" justification threads.

Is it just me, or has Dust done everything possible to scare away the casual player despite being F2P?

With the rumors of allowing keyboard and mouse compatibility, corps that have stringent recruiting policies that will **** the smaller corps, the introduction aurum, which isn't P2W but does unbalance the scales, and making the dropsuit customization system extremely complex to the average player coming from games like CoD or BF, this game seems to be anti-casual.

You can respond with bullsh*t like "Adapt or die", "Go back to CoD", "Unnecessary thread is unnecessary", "Kthnkxbai", etc. etc. etc. but you know it is true.

TBH i want the game to be deep, complex, hard and as anti casual as it can get

Im sick of the COD games and its countless clones which do nothing except make gamers accept ****** games with nothing new added and made even easier than before

I want a game where there are other people to play against.

Yes, I'd like a complex experience, but no, I don't want to play alone. That's why I support the argument that Dust needs to become more user-friendly. That doesn't mean that is has to become less complex. It just needs to look a bit more inviting. Eve has made great progress in this regard. Anyone with basic reading comprehension skills can grasp the basics quickly and start his own career in Eve these days. In Dust that same person gets mauled to ground by much more experienced people. That's like putting the tutorial areas of Eve in 0.0 space and telling newbies to like it or go home.

I don't see the complexity except for the UI. Gameplay is a generic blend of the FPS games from the last few years. Will await next build though. I don't see what you guys find "complex" about it. The only thing that will really screw casuals is the SP heavy players will rack up. But I've been over that before.
Can someone tell me something complex from the gameplay?

Keep Dust Complex! And we dont even have command suits yet.

I think is would be funny if the command suit was like... I don't know...

I had this vision of 3 dust players rolling around a futuristic looking one of these but you know with connectors and stuff sticking out of it so he could be hooked up to the MCC. The pilot would be inside of course..
