I will start by saying I am nothing short of a CCP fan boy, however the current marketing practices has me more then a little concerned. Dust is good, its certainly better then 90% of the other games in this market. What separates Dust from every other product in the top 10% of the market is what the Dust DEV's and CCP have said will be. It is not yet at Peter Molyneux levels of exaggeration but not far off. Right now we are plagued by clumsy menus, broken mail system, server lag, video chug, sticky hills, limited and frankly overplayed game modes. The one that saddens me the most, granted the aforementioned are worse, but this is IMO. Only a small fraction of the games projected release content is available for play.

Now on to the reason i titled the thread the way I did, it's because I am seeing more and more dust related adverts. That's fine, I can get behind bringing more people to Dust, but not just yet. Dust is still a BETA, and a rough one at that. The people that have been here since last April know that. New players coming in from a random banner add are not generally so accepting of that idea, and are being enticed on some what a false pretense. I am of the opinion that CCP should save its advert money for a more polished product. The more people that see this game as it is, opens a potential for future player's that are unwilling to give the game a second chance. Not to mention the general community opinion degradation, I want nothing more then Dust to succeed, but it seems like the marketing team is putting the cart before the horse.

So, as with many things, SOONGäó.
