What I think is truly sad, is the fact that most of the people who play (Or will play) this game will nevern++ understand its incoming (And currently existent) depth. They'll always believe it to be another Halo or a futuristic COD. When it becomes a true part of EVE the markets will be one, stocks will be rampant, politics and shadows will move ferociously. The drama of EVE will be introduced into DUST. I for one can't wait for us to join New Eden truly I just find it unfortunate that most other "Dusties" won't understand. I've been looking into New Eden for sometime now, truly mesmerized by its player created lore, politics and grudges. Reading the EVE forums is like reading a really good never ending book (I suggest checking out the Intergalactic Summit on the EVE forums for a good idea of the state of New Eden, as well as some good laughs) but some of the newer Dusties appearing don't care about any of that, they just want another FPS to "Pwn" or "Troll" in, it's truly depressing that so much intricate work and depth, put into a world, with such care is going to be overlooked by anybody. In my experience a lot of these players go away, back to COD or BF3, bored with games like DUST due to their lack of understanding or even caring to learn (I.E. First timers who skip over the tutorials and yet have NO idea how the game works) and infuriated at their lack of success in New Eden because of this consequent lack of understanding.
Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just venting my frustrations onto the forum because of my previous experiences (DCUO, Planetside, Perfect World all had players like this) but It...Vexes me when I see someone in local chat say that "This is just Call Of Duty Derp derp so lame!" I just want to facepalm everytime I see that, as it proves their true ignorance in this matter and the fact that they probably have no business playing Dust 514. But in the communities defense I haven't been seeing it as often as I'd thought, is it possible that all of those people have left already? Hm...Regardless my ending point in this post is that when the time comes and we Dusties become truly integrated into the vast galaxy that is New Eden, please try and keep up on the depth of the game, I want us to be just as active and adept as the people who play EVE, willing and able to hold our own on both the battlefield and in negotiations, and be considered at least close to equals by those riding among the stars.
-See you on the battlefield |

Exactly! But that was my problem. A lot of people only see COD, because that's all they ever see in a shooter. They don't understand the development that goes into an mmo-anything, especially not one made by CCP. They don't understand that there is a reason EVE has existed for 10+ years and they don't understand that this will be (in my opinion it already is) better than COD or Halo. But thanks to the power of forums I was given the idea to teach people about Dust, what I know of it and its galaxy, to try and educate those I can, and wish good luck to those I can't.
