They need to make it a bit more MMO style.. Honestly I wouldn't mind implementing the EVE feature of how skills and SP work as compared to this current setup.
That would ultimately remove the "Grind" feeling and replace it directly with "Lets jump on Dust and have fun" feeling, while knowing that whether your playing or not, your character is generating SP. That will ultimately make it feel more "lets have fun where the character is at" and less "I gotta play this character to "grind" to where I wanna be argh!" feeling. |

And yet every thing goes through the PSN, login, market transaction, contacts, match making, and inventory(which means its part of mid match). So yes the network that does a **** poor job of content distribution and match making(no sony does not host any games) is now a central part dust 512. Not to mention you can bet that CCP is going thru a hell of a time every time money is involved, look at UVTs. Sony has a long standing record of running games, and CCP still had to sign a contract, so yes while they could have done what they wanted on PC they are tied by exclusivity contract to sony. Frankly this is probably why CCP released a product that they knew was unfinished, so that the timer on their exclusivity contract would start so they could really put the fire to sonys feet.
That Sony does not provide any form of matchmaking them-self was always known, it was always the developer on PS3 who had to implement matchmaking algorithms and systems. So thats not an excuse, since its a know fact, also other FPS on PS3 have working matchmaking systems in place, while i hear no complains about the PSN network performance itself for those "other games".
So like i noted, CCP was not "forced" to sign anything with anyone, they where either convinced by Sony or the other way around and both sides agreed on this deal.
In the end BF3 as a prime example runs fine on the PS3, so does Borderlands2 and all the other FPS, while having a very similar overall experience to Xbox. So again, no the main problems we see in DUST right now are in CCP hands, not Sony's. |

@ OP. Really the best way to play the game is keeping "the next level" a constant but small incentive. When you focus too much on only that you WILL get frustrated with how slow the game moves. Play with people you have fun with and grind when you feel like it.
You'll be planning your character FAR into the future. Even with Boosters you can only earn just north of 2mil a month so wait til you get there & enjoy the ride. Plus you will be so used to your less advanced gear that it makes you play better.
