This is 100% incorrect. A lot of EVE players have billions lying around they have no desperate need for. You can make many millions in one hour of ratting/mining in EVE. It'd be no big deal to just get a couple EVE guys to crank out a billion or two. The end result is that people no longer care about ISK. People won't even care about the cost to take a contract. One million? Ten? It's pocket change. Not even that. I know I wouldn't bat an eye at losing many millions on a Dust match, because being able to roll infinite top-tier tanks/dropsuits/whatever is fun, and who cares about losing space bux if it means having a good time blowing up an enemy team and good?

I look forward to the day when Dust is left with a handful of EVE players playing, no non-EVE players to be seen, and we all have our "adapt or die"'s ready for when a foolish new player comes along expecting a sensibly designed game that doesn't put the arbitrary requirement that you be a player of some other game before getting into Dust.

Yeah man, the solution to this issue is for everyone who came here expecting to play a console FPS game to go and start playing a PC MMORPG and beg in empire space for people to give them the millions/billions they'd need to compete with established EVE players able to bankroll themselves/their entire corp. That is the answer to this, alright. |

This is the point. Manage your finances. EVE players won't have to manage their finances.
And now isn't the time to get used to it, now is the time to contemplate solutions so that when Dust goes live it isn't just a handful of EVE players screwing around with proto fits constantly. They average gamer won't give a damn about "adapt or die" platitudes. They'll just go play something else, something where they aren't constantly at a major disadvantage every single game, and Dust will never take off. |
