Well put

I think we all need to step back, take a breath, and recall the mission.

We are here to help CCP make DUST a well balanced and fun game that will last as long as EVE. We aren't here to stroke our egos, build up SP (except for how it allows us to test more stuff), or get too attached to any particular weapon system.

We are here to use all the toys CCP gives us and see what we can do with them, if we can break them, and give that feedback without letting egos get in the way.

Things will be constantly changing and your characters will be reset. The only thing that will make it to the other side is player skill and relationships.

It's silly to brag about leaderboard status in an unfinished unbalanced game. Take pride in what you can do with any weapon sytem, but don't make the mistake of thinking the score can be compared to someone using a different weapon or vehicle. It isn't finished and isn't balanced, so it's apples and oranges.

Let's make sure that DUST is fun for everyone who joins us after the beta so we can point the game and say with pride, "I helped make that happen."
