... Which DUST is specifically and explicitly not supposed to be. CCP wants casual gamer $$, and *I* want an Eve universe game I can play while building a career and maintaining a life. That's why I'm here to begin with.

Oh, look: people complaining that we casuals have ****** up the game for them by shooting them in the face with less-advanced weapons.
Quote:lets be honest here. This is an FPS, if you do not have the time to practice at it then you are going to suck regardless of your skill points. So why ruin it for everyone else? To put it another way, you are in the minority. So once your done pissing off all the regular players and they quit, CCP will no longer have a stable income. They are not oing to get it off you because your not even playing the damn game! No more game - everyone crys.
You presume a lot.
1. Regulars are constantly quitting, from Eve, too, for all kinds of reasons. Some come back. Some don't. They get replaced by vast swarms of new players. Eve has been "dying" since I started playing it, and it will still be "dying" (and at three times its current player count) in 2020 unless CCP screws the pooch in some spectacular way. I, personally, left because I didn't have the time or energy anymore-- and I came here, because this is theoretically a haven for those of us who have a bit less time and energy.
2. A FPS is not a freaking violin. I do not make music with my sniper rifle. Maybe some of you do, but, sorry, that's NOT a majority. Most of you miss an awful lot. That guy, yeah, the one who seems to be able to put a bullet through your head despite your lateral, zig-zagging dead run? He's got more going for him than just practice.
No, I'm not saying he's using a bot.
In any case, less violin, more bicycle.
3. The compulsive player might be the majority right now, but CCP is creating a niche game, here. I suspect the eventual DUST fan base will be those FPS-RPG players (ala S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) dedicated enough to keep playing, but with little-enough time that we don't get bored with the limited (in comparison to Eve) gameplay.
Just a guess. It may also be partly a matter of taste: FPS/RPGs seem to attract small, rabid followings (see, again, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.).
