For a lot of players new to DUST this is also thier first exposure to a CCP game.

But, a lot of others have played EVE. And a lot of those have played EVE for years...and years.

And if you are asking yourself,"Self, why would anyone grind That long for an endgame?", then the train has already left the station.

It's not about how things were yesterday. It's about how they are for you vs the other guy. We are all on the same footing. This is the new footing.

CCP are The Industry Leader in how to design a massive sandbox and grow it longer and farther than anyone.

It's about scale. You don't know about balance in Uprising because you haven't tested it yet. And by 'tested' i don't mean read about, or thought about or even tried. I mean tested meticulously and repeatedly and objectively.

And if you're saying to yourself,"Self, this kitten right here is crazy cuz we been posting all day about the imbalance and shznt", you've missed another train. Stop balancing Uprising vs Chromosone or what yesterdays build was.

If it takes you 7 years to become the best player you can be then it takes that other guy the exact same time.

And range! If the other guys gun shoots as far as yours (stop thinking of yesterday's gun!), that is balance.

Now use the sand in the box and test for an advantage where you can find it.

Bah, you won't get it.

It takes years

It takes years Have you even tried to roll a new class? Any class, it doesn't matter. Even with 500K SP to start with, there is not enough SP to train into anything meaningful. I'm not saying that is a bad thing, but with no "starter" skills to get you going, a new player will say "Screw this." in a heartbeat. I don't give a damn how many people say, "Militia gear can take down proto gear." The fact is, that is not the norm and half those morons who say that are actually getting the kill after someone else did all the work taking down shields and armor. Who cares if it take 7 years for everyone to become the best they can be? Since you brought up range, let's discuss it, not all weapons have the same range. If you think otherwise, I suggest you pick up a HMG and watch those AR toting Logi's gag f* your throat from 50M out while you can't hit anything reliably further than 10M out. Otherwise I suggest that you STFU you scrub. No one likes an a kissing fanboi whose too dumb to know WTF he is talking about.
