When I first started playing this game I died at least 10 times per match, and found the menu system frustrating and confusing.
I came back about a week later and figured out how to use the fitting system, and then started talking to players, and I eventually joined a corporation.
I then found out about the different kinds of equipment, and started using repair tools acting like a medic. People thought I was really good at that so I skilled into them more.
Once the game left beta I had to restart all of my progress and so I left the corp and started playing solo again. This time around, I was fortunate to squad with a few members of ZionTCD including one of their directors. I did exceptionally well that match (earned enough for my own orbital) and they asked me to join. A few weeks later I was representing Zion.
Fast forward 3 months and now I'm active on their website and have made a big impact in-game. I play a battle with one of their better members and top the corp's high scores for points in a match. Now the leadership has noticed my ability and they talk to me about leading one of their divisions.
A month goes by and now I'm a division leader letting the rest of our players know how to train skills and how to be effective in combat. The game releases and now we're fighting for districts on planets in order to take over the system one planet at a time.
Then today, we are losing clones in our weakest disctrict. If the enemy takes this spot on the planet it could mean hundreds of isk lost and clones wasted. If we don't win this next battle it could mean spending more unnecessary time and money trying to get it back.
Now I'm in a battle keeping a squad of heavy gunners alive as we defend an objective. They know I'm a good Logistics players so they are now relying on me to do my job well. In the middle of the battle they send in an orbital which wipes out our squad. The enemy quickly hacks 3 of the 4 objectives while we're unable to get in position. I quickly spawn back in and get an uplink set up to have our guys come in from the backside. I keep our force staying alive through the spray of bullets as we turn the objectives back to our side and run them out of clones.
My small actions in this game have led to where I am now, and it has made my experience so much more enjoyable.
This is why I love this game. This is the bigger scale of it all. This is DUST. |

Not quite sure what you mean by that question.
Do you mean something more drastic in-game? or something more drastic in real life? or something more drastic besides being on the Dust forums?
Slightly confused... |

Yes, absolutely.
To the point that I gave up for about a month because of how annoying it was to be killed by dropships every other match when missiles were way overpowered.
The best part about this game is how you can come back after a month and have 700k+ skill points to spend. That's what got me back into it XD |

I have a feeling that this should be something more new players need to realize. |

I wish that game reviewers would understand how amazing this game becomes instead of just reviewing the first week of gameplay >.> |

I only wished this would apply to real life too. I have always had horrible English grades XD
Other than that, if I had the money for a recording setup, I'd make a video that reviewed this game from my point in the game.
I would go through and describe what kinds of roles work and how crazy PC is and how the game gets better the more you play. |

It was a long time before I started playing with Zion and I never actually wanted to get into the social aspect of it either. It wasn't until I started winning by communicating that I noticed how fun it could be. |

It's hard enough being a logistics player with lower health, less room for modules, slower movement speed, and no bonuses to shields :P |

It just takes a while.
For me, it was 4 months and 2 resets before I finally found out what was so amazing about this game. |
