It's not that Dust is a bad game, but it feels much different than any other FPS I've played. It took me a couple dozen hours to get acquainted with the controls. I almost quit during the learning curve, because I couldn't get the controls down to how I like them. I have a friend who did quit because of the learning curve... I am currently attempting to get said friend to play again.
EVE has a much steeper learning curve and I actually like it because it keeps out a lot of the idiots.
The FPS genre, probably due to its popularity, seems to be full of idiots, so I think a bit of a learning curve is a good thing. |

The wondeful nature of this game yes? |

This game also isn't about instant gratification like CoD. Dust takes some patience to get into. I'm still fairly new to the game and it's rough when you're first starting out. I see what this game has to offer, though, both now and in the future. I'm here to stay. There is no limit to what CCP can do with Dust, provided the funding is there.

#1 way to stop players all rage quitting, provide a range of games with "fair" gear restrictions. Eventually, they'll have enough ISK & gear to go to unrestricted games, but they need to be eased into the game. I still have friends who say Dust is too complicated, simply because there's so much choice. If you know what you want, it's not that complicated (yet). If you're a nOOb, you just want to shoot face. And fighting people with weapons and equipment it'll take you months to get is a deal breaker.
I know the whole "New Eden isn't fair" thing, but it sorta is. Only when you start mind, but normally in EvE, things only seem to get aggressive in Low/Null. I had a 14 day trial, and the NPCs were more aggressive than the players.
Our characters will be getting reset when the open beta rolls around (the next and last reset). So it's not as if there is going to be a bunch of players who have no idea about anything, coming into the game day 1 against teams full of proto players.
They will be severely outmatched in terms of Dust experience, but the gear will be equal (for a little while that is). |

If there aren't significant adjustments made to the gameplay by next build, the new players will all be gone within a day. |

But even still the veterans from the closed will know exactly what they will do with their skills and quickly re gain their advantage and plus they still got their traditional skills (beening able to play the game) |

I'm looking forward to it, no more empty games! It'll take them a little to catch up but hey I'm always for full games. |
