I like Dust. I like so many things about it.

But there are too many things missing, and no info coming from the devs.

If you feel the same, I encourage you to do the following:

Stop giving them money.

Don't buy merc packs or aurum, don't buy starter packs.

More importantly, either sign in this thread that you will not pay for this type of treatment, or start a thread announcing that you are done giving money until we get some real progress.

CCP has been getting what is a free ride on this beta, because most of us are committed to Dust for the long haul, and are willing to overlook short term problems.

This in turn allows CCP far too much leeway. They need to be shown that the community that is ready to support this game will not be taken advantage of.

Let CCP know that when the game is worth money, you will be a paying supporter, but the current situation is unacceptable.

We want set dates for content releases. We want a proper roadmap for promised features. We want to know how CCP intends to get from what we have now to where they want a release version to be.

We will not get any change in CCPs treatment of the dust player base while people continue to hand over cash. It would be stupid of them to do so.

So lets smarten up and cut off their funding, see if that changes their tune. Only we can make that happen.

So lets smarten up and cut off their funding, see if that changes their tune. Only we can make that happen. I agree and disagree with this. There is a lot of this post that makes sense, though it is also a sound argument that they need continued revenue (though I disagree with this being used in an alarmist fashion). My question is where are the content checkboxes when we purchase AUR/Merc Packs/Etc? Why not give us content selections that we can earmark our cash towards? This would give us a roadmap as well as giving CCP cash. I personally want free-roam, open world gameplay, Eve on planets as it were. If I had the ability to earmark my cash towards that, I'd probably be willing to spend more of it. Let us choose what you use our money to develop (or do you really have that little faith in your players as consumers?)
