Then you should play Call of Duty. This game is hard for a reason. Ever tried playing Eve?

demon souls is hard, this game is nothing like that, when you need a mag and a half to kill a man when they only need a burst, there is something glaringly wrong there, and no i have never played EVE, i was told this was a new way to check out the experience, and everything i've seen so far seems very very bad, and you sir, are out of line mentioning that awful game.

Okay, let me elaborate on my response. I've been playing for about 3 months and I have a little over 5 million SP- most of it is in tanks. For the most part, there aren't too many other tankers that can go toe-to-toe with me and live. However, there are still a good handful of guys with more than 8 million SP in tanks that I will never catch up with. The idea that my hard won advantage will be taken away is terrifying. Honestly, you'll need to grind for about 3 weeks and then you canstart to field your proto gear and own the noobs, yourself. Until then, join a big, organized corp that welcomes newer players (PRO, KEQ, STB, etc.) Remember, yesterdays noobs are the guys that just went 25/0 in a pub stomp.

Right there, you've actually outlined the most major problems with DUST. There is so much focus on Grind, something that most players if they're not having fun just don't want to do... this is assuming that these players even have the time to grind out the same ** day after day getting owned constantly. Look I'm sorry to say this guys, but if I wasn't an EVE Player ... frankly I would've uninstalled DUST already and gone back to Battlefield 3 and Halo 4 completely ignoring anything new with this. "But DUST has feature X which is super awesome cool" ... Don't care, it isn't FUN Just like EVE, it is what it is - all about who can grind, afford the best equipment and blob targets most efficiently. At least with EVE you have the option to go do something else, not to mention it has the unique advantage of being well UNIQUE - EVE doesn't have ANY competition in the Genre / Space it sits in. Should it have been similar to World of Warcraft or Everquest when it launched, there would be no EVE Online today. DUST is not Unique, sure it has a couple of features that are EVE-esqu+¬ but honestly it doesn't stray too far from the standard FPS Formula; meaning when it goes against them it has to be something truly spectacular, which frankly it isn't. There are large number of people within my Alliance on EVE who we all have tried out DUST 514, we were all incredibly excited for what it could be - at this point every single one of us has gone back to Battlefield 3 and Halo 4, with maybe a once a month we'll see if anything has changed in DUST that might make it actually an enjoyable experience rather than a lesson in frustration and anger. What pains us so much is simply the fact that there are so many titles that do the majority of what Dust offers; but do it much better! If you ask me, what DUST is in desperate need of is a team of Designers and Developers who love First Person Shooters. To me right now the game feels like the development team at CCP was shown a video of Battlefield and Halo ... and someone was like "yeah that's a cool idea for a console game" I've also said this A LOT in the past decade on the EVE Forums, but there is a world of difference between COMPLEX and DEPTH ... they both require each other but if you MUST choose one over the other ALWAYS pick DEPTH; because the Complex you make it the more nitch+¬ you force your player base until you effective only appeal to a very small market. Hell for a Console game being nitch+¬ is often a death sentence! I mean seriously guys both CCP and the "Hardcore" (as if you can call it that) community within DUST 514, need to *** wake the hell up and understand you are both cutting of your own noses despite your face. Right now I'm actually seriously wondering if this game will even survive long enough to make it out of Beta; which the term imo is just joke given CCP are already charging for it (You ARE retail right now, stop using the term Beta as a bloody crutch to lean on when ** doesn't work properly)
