Guys, I've been reading these forums for the last couple of weeks and quite frankly, man, I've seen a lot confused people. People who ain't got their priorities in order. They ain't got their **** together to put it bluntly, guys. I'm talking about a very special segment of people and note that this behaviour isn't unique to Dust 514 but I use it as a lens to take a look at this whole thing. You see, guys, what I'm talking about here are the people who play the game a lot, they are active here on the forums but at the same time, man, they absolutely hate the game! They think the game is going into the wrong direction and they dislike CCP.

Now some of these people keep telling me: "Ric, can't you see it, I'm here for the potential, man!" What potential?! You just told me the game has gotten worse and worse every new build! One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results! That's right, I think you're nuts! Even if you think the game's improving slowly but is crap at this moment, get the **** out! Use your time better: Hit the gym, read the autobiography of Ben Franklin and improve your life. Then come back later and check it out if you think the game has reached the potential you guys keep talking about. Perhaps your cunty ass would be more happy too if you'd concentrate on what's going on in your life today instead of thinking about the future as your, and the game's saving grace.

Well we all know how these guys rationalise this behaviour, man. "Ric, I can't be competitive without playing this game every single day!" Or "This game will die if I leave!" and, guys, what really cracks me up is the classic: "As soon as X hits the market I'm gone!" Well if Dust 514 is the second best game in the market after X, then I guess it's not that bad at all. The bottom line is, guys, that if you don't enjoy the game, take a break, use your time better and come back later and check it out. Don't keep complaining about stuff and expect things to change around you just because you're unhappy! Because at the end of the day, boys and girls, that's not how anything in this life works.

Guys guys... Forum PVP > game PVP... I thought we all knew that?

Sometimes I think the forums are the most important aspect to the game to these people. On the forums, they can get their likes and boast about having the most likes. They can be somebody. It's all about the attention.

They are also looking for the "I told you so" argument. They will continue to play the game they despise until the day they can say, "I told you so."

I said this in a post a few weeks ago. There's sadly a group of players in every game who want to destroy what isn't theirs. Why? At what cost? If I'm watching a movie and it sucks, horribly, I turn it off. I don't just sit there and watch it when I already know it sucks. Okay, that's not entirely true. I have watched some BAAAAAAAAAAD movies and continued to watch them to see exactly how bad it can get(GI JOE Rise of Cobra comes to mind.) But I don't complain about it afterwards.

I don't know what these people are thinking. It's easy to just quit. Instead, they hate this game so much, they tell new players to quit but they themselves keep on playing.

The reason? The attention they get on the forums. Any attention, whether it's negative or positive, is attention. That's the game to them. That's the ultimate goal. To win Forum 514

Or some people weren't concerned with overall personal gain throughout the beta, and instead took their time testing all sorts of things within the game. As such, it's more of a labor of love, and when you watch all that time and feedback seemingly disappear into nothing, it gets frustrating.

And the thing is, we know that CCP can get this **** under control. We know that they made and are making a cool game. But we also know that shoving your nose up their ass does nothing but make them lazy. The game has problems, if you can't see that, you're as blind as I used to be. Many of you, myself included, can't even fully grasp the level of technical issues still at play within the game.

It just gets frustrating. The forums are frustrating. The constant ups and downs and lack of anything resembling stability is frustrating.

But you know what's fun?

Harvesting tears.

The ones sizzling on the wreckage of all your dropships?

*one shots with a proto accelerated missile turret* hah, there goes your officer weapon *gets forged gunned* NOOOOOOOO!!!!

Heavy say WHAT?



Calls in Militia Fit HAV with Railgun, sits in redline and waits for you to try to be useful.

Or I'll just use my militia forge gun (LMAO why these even exist...) to pester you or rock you into a nearby building

Costs me <100K ISK in any and all cases.

Sadly true, but I've started pestering redline tanks by dive bombing them, then flying out the redline. Funnily enough I managed to get one tanker to activate his modules inside the redline, he activated an armour repper when he was at half shields

To be honest though I use my 70K Viper fit to combat enemy dropships :/

HUG MEEE!!!!!

Seriously, it's so much fun to do too. I use my Viper to dive bomb enemy tanks, crash my ship into them, toss AV nades then start chasing after them with my militia forge

Why not

Do it for the lulz

Guys, some great responses here. Honestly I really think this type of behaviour is something that people do all the time, be it with video games, in relationships or with their professional life, man. People are too God damn afraid to change any behaviour in their life and would rather hope for somebody else to make stuff better for them! I mean, yeah, people jump from game to game frequently but trust me when I say this, when these people jump into the "next big thing" like Destiny or whatever they're gonna be whining all the same in their forums. How about doing changes in your own behaviour rather than calling others out cause you're not satisfied?

Now, some of these negative whiners keep telling me that somebody needs to whine about stuff for stuff to change. WRONG! Only kind of difference negative people have ever made on anything in this world, is making things more ****** with their cunty behaviour!

Last but not least we've got the very special group of people who are so far out there, man, that they get their kick out coming to the forums and trying to either troll people, or "win" conversations. Now I don't know about you guys, but I quite honestly think that's just weird!
