DUST Search - Devs - Will DUST have Trophies?

Most people that play video games in the new Trophies and Achievements era think that those Trophies and Achievements make them a good player. Upon completion of all of the available ones, the player will believe that they have "beat" the game and move on to a different game. I could go on and on about this being due to the "everyone is special" mentality that is so pervasive nowadays, but I won't.

Dust, due to its status as an MMOFPS (or something) does not need Trophies or Achievements. There are no "I beat the game" moments. It is not something that people would play, "beat", then move on to the next game. That is why there is so many new CoD's coming out, because they can't keep the playerbase they have now. The playerbase is used to getting new games. Instead, Dust will be introducing new content, instead of new games. There won't be a need for the Trophies, because if you are good at the game, it will show on the battlefield, no on your PS profile.

Example: In DCUO, there are a full set of Trophies. You qualify for them, but they do not register if you are a Free or Premium Tier player (If you spend 5 bucks in the Online Store, you get bumped to Premium automatically). However, upon subscripting to Legendary sub status, you attain all of the Trophies you are qualified for retroactively, and then as long as you remain subscribed, you continue to get new trophies going forward. if you drop your sub, you keep the trophies you already gained, but you cannot gain new ones. Since Dust won't have a subscription at all, as far as we know, does that mean that we will not get trophies either? or do you have an arrangement with Sony that allows you to provide trophies once the game launches?

I know people who will play any crappy game there is, just to get the Platinum Trophy. I probably won't ever platinum a game, and if I do ever Platinum a game, you damn well better play it cause it's the KITTEN. I was not saying that Dust NEEDS Trophies. I was merely asking if Dust would have them. It was a curiosity. Nothing more. and as an aside, as I mentioned earlier, DCUO is a MMORPG, and it has a full set of trophies, along with new content.

Ofc their's ganna be trophies. true, but you can't quite say for certain. it seems to be a general rule on the PS3, that Free games don't allow you to obtain trophies. generally there must be some sort of subscription in order for you to get trophies. this has been the case with their other 2 Free Games, DC Universe Online and Free Realms, both of which were created by Sony. and only offer trophies for monthly subscribers. along with the games in Playstation Home, which are completely free and do not have trophies at all. I've yet to hear of a subscription option for Dust.
