I've played so many games where a group of people fought so hard to destroy the game and run it to the ground. Face of Mankind comes to mind. A small group of players would murder new players and tell them, "Lawl, FOM's dread, you need to uninstall it. Trust us." Hell, there was even a GM who assisted in this propaganda. If you hate the game that much, why play? It's like some kind of video game terrorism.
You're seriously trying to tell me that people get a kick out of running someone's creation to the ground? In Face of Mankind's case, it actually worked. TWICE! It has recently been taken over by another company and a Kickstarter has been made to "Re-release" the game for a third time!
You have problems and gripes with the game. Great! You're entitled to that. Just like people are entitled to enjoy the game. Maybe instead of calling them blind sheep and fanboys, you can say, "Well, I for one certainly don't see how they can rate it a 10, but whatever..." But no, it's always a debate as to why the game sucks and why people should also agree that it sucks. Though I would imagine that going with the former would put a damper on your internet egos.
It's simple. CCP is not forcing you to play. They aren't even forcing you to pay! If you hate the game so much, then quit. You lose absolutely nothing! And if you did put money down on AUR and still hate the game but are bitter about it, then that's your doing. CCP did not force you to buy that AUR. Hell, the game just officially got released yesterday, and to be quite honest, rather you love it or hate it, spending money on AUR while the game was in BETA was a gamble.
Does the game need work? Yes, it needs work like Lady Gaga needs a nose job. Does the game have potential? Yes, it indeed does. Will it meet said potential? Well, that's yet to be seen.
The truth of the matter is, not a single one of us know where Dust 514 is going to go. I will critique the game when and where critiquing is due, but I will stick with it and see where this thing goes. There may come a point when I feel the game is not what I anticipated it to be. If that day comes, I will walk away. It will be removed from my PS3. I don't understand why this is so hard for you guys to comprehend.
