It is worth remembering that you are only playing less than 25% of the game. the rest is yet to be released. This open beta is purely to stress test the servers and core game mechanics. So please don't fall into the mental trap of thinking this is the game, because it isn't, it is enough of the game for ccp to stress test servers, game mechanics and start working on balancing.

Dusts core game is an fps so its understandable that they are only testing the fps side of the game and not the rest of it, such as the market interaction, exploration corporations and alliances to name but a few.

Its worth looking at what they plan on releasing to get an idea of how little content there is currently in the beta.

That argument is moot, since they havnt shown any MMO gameplay. EvE is a MMO. Dust has no MMO gameplay at all. No exploration. Compare Planetside 2 MMOFPS to this so called game. Compare PS2 to BF3. one is a MMO and the other isnt.

This game has no exploration. Just lobbies.

Seems like you didn't read his post really, did you? It has been specifically stated that these features will be implemented some time over the course of the next year or two. And this is still beta, true beta where people test things and offer feedback, while developers continuously create new stuff for us to test. It's not a company saying, "Okay, here is a demo of our new game, but let's call it beta. Look how shiny and full of features it is! This is what you'll buy in two weeks" About the MMORPG: I'm not going to repeat everything people said here about the MMO aspect, just will add that player count in Dust is already close to, if not exceeded, 1 million. Let's now look at the RPG aspect. The main thing is already here - we have a grand skill tree that may even not be completed fully yet, and it's already going to take seven years to skill out everything there is! Is that not enough RPG for you, having completely different pathways to evolve your character in? Not to mention that we are probably getting in the future things like exploration, espionage, anti-infestation, etc.
