I think it's a combination of FPS players who want dumbed-down casual gameplay, FPS players with egos who think they know everything just because they're good at MAG or CoD or Halo, and EVE players who think of console FPS players as clueless mouthbreathers, worthy only of bombarding from orbit.

Basically you have people coming from vastly different perspectives who want be to be different things, combined with massive egos of some players.

Once the game launches, I think it will be better. EVE has one of the better communities in online gaming, and hopefully some of that will carry over to DUST.

Title says it all. These forums are like 1000x worse than mag forums ever were. We might actually start seeing some improvement if everyone here wasn't so busy smack talking each other and started giving solid input without trolling each other. I had high hopes for this game, and got very excited when i got my beta code the first round of releases, but if this community can't settle down and agree that there are fixes that need to be made and stop bad mouthing one another for whatever reasons, i am very afraid dust is gonna flop.

I just hope CCP isn't taking notes from either side, because both seem to be out to ruin this game, whether they know it or not. This game is not perfect as it is, and the excuse of "its just a beta" isn't valid anymore. If the game remains how it is now, it will turn into the same 60 people fighting each other because the mass majority will play for a week and leave(especially if this whole "its just a beta" mentality keeps going and nothing ever gets fixed.
