If people want to hate Dust 514, that's their choice. They have a right to complain in whatever manner they want. However, if they don't like Dust 514 and appear to be hellbent on just continuing to hate it regardless of the improvements, then I got news for them.
"There are other games to play, you know."
If one doesn't like a game, then that person should just move on the next game. It's not that hard. I don't understand why some players like to play the "doom-n-gloom" card against one game if they don't like it. For years I have seen many players post comments in the Eve Online forums saying how Eve will fail because of its hostile culture (ie: Jita scams, Hulkageddon, Market cornering, Corporate theft, propaganda, etc.) yet it's been running smoothly for nine years straight.
I played many games that I know sucked, but I didn't ever go on an anti-insert-game-name-here campaign about how they sucked and how the game will fail. Stooping that low just doesn't have any benefit to anyone. Not even to the person who hates the game. This is because I know that I don't like (insert game name) either because of the play style or something else that may not suit me but might suit somebody else.
There is also the fact that Dust 514 is still in closed beta. The problem here is that most players nowadays seem to have gotten use to the idea that a CLOSED BETA is somehow an OPEN DEMO of a completed game (which is not the case obviously). Players keep forgetting that a closed beta implies that most features are still missing and are due to be implemented later on over a set period of time.
Let's also not forget that some players don't seem to bother with searching the forums for old posts that may have already addressed their concerns.
Also, almost every player nowadays is connected via some form of social networking (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.) yet a lot of them don't seem interested in following the development notes posted in those networks. If a player really wants to help make a game better and wants to understand what's going on, then that player would make the effort to stay informed in some way. |
