DUST Search - This "beta" is not really happening.

CCP:

you are making the same mistake that Zipper and Sony made with mag.
stop trying to protect the casual gamers.
zipper tried to do this and their game failed at retail. yes, yes i know a bunch of fakers will try and puff it up like it was different.
it wasn't.
it failed.
all because the devs wanted to make sure the casuals weren't "scared off". they got rid of all in game competition in order to pump up "sales". it killed the game.
the casuals are not your bread and butter. they are fickle.
they don't matter. they will come and go.

right now you are crushing the morale of the clans.
you really need to stop with the training wheels and the montessori "Everyone comes in first" crap. leave that for ea, cod, mag, etc. I was hoping for different from you, in lieu of your attitude about EvE. bring that same attitude over to 514. don't soften it just because it's a different format and community.

1. let the clans join matches in squads of either 8 or 16.
2. break out the vote to kick.
3. break out prox chat for both enemies and team
4. break out FF=on.

there should be full blown pub room clan matches right now.
those are going to be WAY more telling about the future of this game then all this pub room ez mode crap.
this isn't a beta. it's more like a very controlled alpha. you guys are avoiding the real parts of what's going to happen in 514. not sure why. no reason to wait now.

Peace

Peace B ' what right have any of us to complain when this game is in its closed beta AND its going to be free for all to play????? i mean jeeze, this game really isn't noob friendly at all. Ever try walking someone new through the fitting options??? If not the equivalint is about the same as beating your head on a brick wall for and hour and three minutes!! Look, most of the stuff you mentioned will be added at some point, but for right now, let them dumb the game down. make it so that we can bring the casual players in and increase the player base, then we can see how things go from there. In a free to play game like this, the only viable marketing plan they have is to make it apeal to as many people as possible. As unfortunate as it is, the point of any business is to make money, and thats exactly what CCP has to do to stay afloat...... make money. Im not knocking them for that, im just saying thats how it is.
