Thinking about the title of the thread...

Maybe all the whiners will go away as they realize this is not going to be a simple clone of other FPS games?

Then, after a few weeks, those of us who aren't looking for an FPS clone will play in peace... well, maybe not peace. ;)

I'd be so grateful if they all went away. Would give CCP a chance to see how their game affects the community without all the petty non-sense from extroverts who's only concern is their extroverted ideals.

Really its players like you that damage the game and have stifled it from becoming a great experience with needless comparison to the growth of EVE and how Dust will mimic it because CCP is amazing and they deliver on every promise they have ever made and have never screwed anything up and because console players are patient, nurturing and willing to give developers 2,3 heck even 5 years of their time to a company or are the type to say hey you know what this game has passive SP maybe ill check back on it in 6 months. Yea not if another game has captured their attention. Most importantly consolers don't do second chances. They have been patient with CCP because they do great hype and they've allowed the its a beta mantra to cushion the blow. Launch means no more its a beta excuse to hide behind. Its put up or shut up. .

I think we'll be just fine without you if you want to leave. There's definitely no shortage of players, that's for sure. Trying to find the right corporation is a hassle as it is, so I would say that the game isn't expanding it's content fast enough to keep up with the player base by comparison to not having enough or having some miraculous threat of suddenly not pulling in new players. You can't determine the fate of the game "in two weeks" because it's ever evolving with free expansions. You think Eve Online was determined "in two weeks"? Hell no, ten years later we have HALF A MILLION capsuleers - this game isn't going anywhere. People will find things they like and things they don't like but once they're in it, they're inevitably trapped and WILL come back when new content comes out. That's just the nature of the New Eden Beast.

There's really not. Most of your more noticeable corporations (Zion TCD, War Ravens, Betamax) all have in excess of 250 players. That doesn't even include the smaller, less prominent corporations and those that choose not to join one. Just because you see the same name in a match as the last match you played doesn't mean there's a shortage of players - it just means that you're both on the same game at the same time because Eve is a SINGLE SHARD UNIVERSE. I'd say 6000+ (number from back in December on the test server) players is just fine considering the nature of the game, how brutal it is and the fact that we're -JUST NOW- going into Commercial Release. This game doesn't have the reputation or meaningless/unnecessarily fast pace of a game like Call of Duty, nor does it have the reputation and publicity of Battlefield. Considering that your average gamer in Game Stop has never even heard of Dust 514, the potential for new players to join isn't because of the game itself, it's because of it's lack of publicity - something that will inevitable change as the game grows, expands, progresses and GETS SOME ADVERTISEMENT No TV Commercials, barely any internet banners/ads - this game has evolved solely from Word-of-Mouth and it's done fantastic to that end.

Its put up or shut up. . "It's not my fault that my corporation can't help but complain about every issue and the new players just happen to see it - it's your fault!" I stopped reading after the first sentence of that paragraph because it's just silly. Caldari Prime had in excess of 100,000 players on at the same time and 63,170 of them were Capsuleers. Judging how many people are online late at night is a poor argument being as, oh I dunno, most human beings sleep late at night? It's like complaining that there's no where to eat at 05:00 AM because there aren't enough restaurants when the reality is that most of the restaurants are closed. 37,000 Dust Mercs in an open beta that has no advertising. That's more than enough considering that the matches are only 16 v 16 and there's a corporation out there that has no issue abusing the absolute **** out of the complex damage mod + sharpshooter stacking in public matches. You can't shift the blame onto someone else when you're the one bitching about everything that doesn't immediately put you in the leader boards. Hell, you realize that -almost every single 'Dust 514 is going to die'- thread was made by an Imperfects member? I'd say if anyone is to blame, it's the rumor mongering community of twelve year olds who can't sustain enough maturity to remember the ONE PHRASE THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS: "I always wondered why somebody didn't do something about it, then I realized that I was somebody" Imperfects aren't exactly known for being the forerunner in heralding game-changing features. Try doing something about that. Edit: Yanno, minus the grenade timer changes which they wanted in the game in the first place.
